    Hey fellas! Was wondering if anyone knows the lowdown on the Pilot/Flying J crude hauling gigs? I see them advertised, but they don’t post any info on qualifications and they are kind of vague about the positions in general. I am interested in crude in the TX or OK fields and these guys seemed like a good option. If anyone has any info about these guys please share it here!

    I see they have a small yard in Pecos TX. All the trucks (Cascadia day cabs) and alum tankers all look brand new. What kind of pay are they offering?

    Those people stole money from how many companies? How many millions of dollars? I'll never buy another drop of fuel from them or even consider hauling their crap.

    Their pay for fuel haulers is about the lowest in DFW. Like $16 an hour. They sit around the racks sleeping and visiting most of the day. I would too for that money. Not sure about crude. Be careful. These ones that are jumping in without experience can burn you.

    I am curious about the pay scale. I doubt I would make a change but their ad does look good. It would be nice to drive a clean truck with everything working.
