    Yeah we do alright, I just started here a month ago but a good friend of mine has worked here awhile and reccomended it to me. the money is pretty good and the work is really easy.

    the equipment all is very well maintained which is a nice change from where I was working before.

    it pays us percentage, pretty much everyone's home on the weekends.

    yeah we just have to unload, hook up a wet line and change our fittings around in the back of the trailers, then just fire the bad boy up and let it rip.

    I didnt do much of it, I was a flat bed driver, I mainly just loaded tanks in pittsburgh when they got really busy and took them back to the yard, or did some short local non hazmat stuff...

    I renewed my hazmat here recently, but to be honest I have no desire to mess around anything hazmat again, I hauled some poison's in a van trailer and some dangerous when wet stuff...

    it's a pain to haul that stuff, and the money the place I worked paid wasnt worth it, I was paid better for them draging around a flatbed than doing anything with a placard on it...

    I am a system driver out of Columbus. I came back August 2012 after having worked there before. Had to have open heart in November and will be returning the 15th of this month (March). Pissed though, Jake gave my truck away. I know other guys that were off for awhile and their truck was waiting on them when they got back. Will just have to wait and see what he comes up with. But they are a good company to work for and Columbus is one of the better terminals to work out of.
