    How about some info from the tanker fleet. Don't hear a lot from them. Is this a money maker and mum's the word? How are the lease drivers doing... weekly truck revenue average, driver take home average etc and any advise or likes/dislikes would be great. thanks

    There really aren't any of Prime's yankers on the board. So no one really has the information. The only think I know (and even that's kind of questionable) is the company cpm after upgrade. It was around 37cpm, but I haven't seen a current pay sheet in a long time. The miles aren't, generally as high as reefer or flatbed, and yanker has a pretty specific area of operations.

    I spoke with tanker yanker that said they run all 48, he was in Arkansas. He had a dedicated run. Theyre also getting new trailers with spreads. Have fun with that...

    I have a friend who has been in tanker for a year now and he said he went out west twice but it's been mostly the NJ to Chicago to Ga triangle. He is going lease next month so that may change.

    Their main area of operation is the NE, but not limited to that area.
