I don't work for Sunoco. I've just talked to some of their drivers. 250 to 400 a day is about right. Probably about 300 a day average. 300 miles and 4 loads is no problem. Shouldn't take 12 to 13 hrs.
800 a day as a company driver is BS.
Need work? South Texas Oilfield hiring like crazy!

You will have to do a road test. If you are not good on your turns and backing up you better find a way to practice.sanook Thanks this. -

Dupree is tanking crude out of Cotulla and they pay by the hour. Not sure where you are looking in S TX but QC was paying by the hour out of Houston and Victoria. -
Sun Coast is sucky right now....avoid if possible...I've been with SC for 2 yes now and have never seen it this bad.
Example A: I use to bring home $2,600 minimum every 2wks; Now it's down $1,700 every 2 wks.
Example B: No more 12 hour or 10 Hour guarantee (A driver use to get paid for 12 or 10 hrs, even if his actual work only took 8hrs to complete).
Example C: All Oilfield Natural Gas Condesate drivers must run oil wells now (Climb Stairs, Breath Harmful Chemicals, & Test Oil before Loading it)
Example D: They are the worst paying company in the Txs oilfield right now ($17 hr for day drivers/$18 hr for night drivers new hires)
Example E: No more Cell Phone Reimbursement every 2 wks on our checks ($11)
Example D: No O/T (Everybody is just running their Schedule of 5-2 & 4-3 (Every oilfield worker truly makes the good money during over time. Note: I use to get paid for a 160-164 hrs every 2 wks.
Sun Coast had been hiring right out of school lately...No experienced oilfield driver would go there under the current conditions.
Also note: SC has always been a reactionary company in the past, meaning they pay when feel threatened. The problem right now seems to be NOT enough work. They have lost work to pipeline completions and just outright being out bid by other companies who were more aggressive. When SC had it, They paid us well. But times are changing my friends. -
I've been told to stay away from Sunoco, Gulf Mark, & Great Plains.
However, I've heard good things about Gold Spur (85k yr)...& Martin (80k yr) -
I know those runs from the LACT at Cuero or Yorktown are sweet, but the experience of running from wells is better to have. I do not know of any companies off the top of my head that run from LACT to LACT except Suncoast. -
Anybody know of any companies hiring around Kenedy? Drove for Nabors for 6 months, got tired of driving a deathtrap and quit.

Yes, crude. Looks like they pay by the hour, any idea around how much?
And while I'm thinking of it, I don't really have anything tying me down here except the bother of moving.
