New Class A

Congrats Stringduster

I would say that the tanker job will keep you going better than the dump. The reason I say this is because with the dumping ind, its gonna rely on building,contruction,etc.
With the tanker you should always have something to haul. Just my opinion

Either way be safe and becareful out there

 

Tankers take more training to learn and just about every tanker company wants experience. With tankers you can have the option of OTR or local too and the local jobs will pay the same or better with some companies. Hands down tankers are the way for you.

 

I've read all the other postings about how bad the pay is and I do agree it's not worth a darn right now. But with tankers, a clean record, and a little luck I did good. I ended at my goal job and stayed their before I took the golden handshake and retired early. But here's what we got paid back in 2000.

$23.50 an hour. We worked 4 10 hours days. Anything over 40 hours is time and half. We could work a day of overtime any time we wanted so you could pick up another $25K a year just in OT. A 60 hour week grossed over $1600. It was a great job and I'm sure there's plenty of them out there. You just have to be lucky to find them and wait until someone retires. But you have to get specialized and always have a clean record.
