Inexperienced tanker driver

I seen one nalco in casper wyoming by a baker hughes with a bunch of schneider tanks up there....do yall just drop and hook at nalco

 

oh god no. We do EVERYTHING when its a Nalco load, unless its going to a Nalco plant and then their personal do the work. It can be a pita sometimes but usually good miles + accessory pay. I did one where it was a single compartment being unloaded into 8 seperate tanks, 150 here, 200 there kind of deal. Took about 8 hours to do but I got paid for each as if it was its own unload, $25 per.

 

Oh wow....thats sounds worst then drumming off...do yall load yall self there too?

 

No, they do the loading. When its a Nalco plant they do the work. And that one with the 8 tanks was outrageous. None of the tanks were near each other so I had to break everything down, pack it all up, then drive to the next location and start over...Also was a caustic so had to wear chem suit. But 99% of the time its just one compartment = one tank. All Nalco does is add some paperwork and extra steps like phoning in before offload for final approval. I look at it as they are selling our expertise to their customers so when we are making the delivery its expected that we do 100% of the work. Something like that anyways

 

maaan u had a heck of a load there

 

You will unload yourself at a few Nalco plants but not too many. The one in Wyoming actually has a Schneider driver that does nothing but that plant. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

 

Thats the only nalco I have ever seen is in wyoming...and I seen a schneider at a pipe yard one time dropping off a corrosive in conroe tx....but other then that I never see schneider unless its in houston chemical plants

 

We are all over, just sneaky that's all.

 

When I switched over to bulk temporarily the trainer I had has the biggest cake walk job ever. All he does is shuttle clean empties from the Kankakee il tank wash to I believe basf in Kankakee. 2.5 miles on way, then bobtail back to get the next empty. Has to prep all the trailer with cable seals and whatever other requirements. Mon-fri salary position, occasional local delivery with an unload lol
