Hello debating on making a change from flatbed to tankers. Already have endorsements and TWIC I’ve been told that certain terminals pay better than others not sure how true that is I live in Texas so I’m in the middle of a few terminals. How was your experience? Are you still employed? Lease/OO or company? I was told company has $1400 guaranteed gross I assume

It's been about 12 yrs since I drove for them.
They trained me to do tanker work.
You have corporate owned terminals and affiliate owned and each one runs different.
A few are union. Each will have different pay scales, some are great to work for and others not so much. I was at term. 767 out of Chicagoland area was treated well and the pay roughly $1500. Back then, on percentage @ 28% and about $20 hr. Loading/unloading, so I'd imagine the pay is better than that now. Last
As I said each term. Is run differentlytscottme, Blagoje, ElSobrino and 1 other person Thank this. -
If you choose a commission terminal and the owner or dispatcher has trucks leased on their. Run away!!
They will work before anyone ...... -
Some affiliates [franchises?] were trucking companies that went under the umbrella of a larger carrier [originally Montgomery] for various reasons.
This may add another hand in the till and could affect the individual pay scales.
When I was breifly involved with Montgomery, one of my former owner opertors found a steady gig with one of the affiliates and was happy.
Most of the rest moved on quickly when the account we brought in dumpped Montgomery and I moved on too... -
