    I’ve applied to both companies to haul fuel. I’m not sure which one is better to work for as far as company culture, pay and benefits. Anyone here have experience with either or both?

    The competition for fuel-hauling jobs with private fleets can be rather fierce.

    Depending on the location in question, and other factors -- you may well be competing against other drivers who already have several years of fuel hauling experience -- along with flawless safety records.

    If your results are later less than satisfactory -- DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED.

    Also -- my latest gig (fuel) waited 3 MONTHS after I submitted my complete application -- to get back in touch with me.

    For whatever reason(s) -- sometimes....carriers can take their sweet time (and then some :rolleyes:) to respond to you.

    Just because a carrier hasn't called you in a week or two -- doesn't necessarily mean you've been culled.

    Going forward -- do keep the above in mind!

    Best of luck to you.

    Also --

    Gemini is ok, but they have driver facing cameras. And the go off with audible sound (distracted driver) Everytime you move.

    I did not know that and I appreciate you sharing that. Somehow loves/Gemini got my contact information and has been spamming me with recruitment ads by phone, email, and text on a regular basis ever since. Most of these are for positions that I have never expressed any interest in whatsoever. It doesn't matter if I unsubscribe or anything else they just keep coming and it is very obnoxious.

    Have you spoken to Ashley or Judy and asked them to remove you from the contact list(s)?

    Casey's has cab facing cameras. In Arkansas the guy running the show was a cop and was a big enough jerk that I walked out mid interview.

    I have met cops that I would LOVE to have as neighbors;
    I have met cops that should be fed to the gators.....

    My point is -- I try not to pre-judge all in that profession, just by one bad experience.

    Just like I would not want anyone to pre-judge me -- simply because another trucker somewhere else may have mistreated them.

    Private Cryogenic carriers

    Most LTL carriers
    ( However with Yellow going out of business. Several of there drivers are appling to the LTL companies)
    Chemical distribution companies
    Walmart Transportation (if its a HVDC aka grocery distribution center)
    Private fuel carriers

    And other places, kinda depends on where you live though.
