    I used to see these guys all the time, they got some good looking equipment.
    PPG in Delaware,OH. is where I used to run into them, everyone of the driver's I talked seemed happy..

    Terminal 109 is Memphis, TN.
    Quality Distribution only takes 1+ yrs experience drivers. No students :\

    They seem to be pretty good but finding information about them is tough. Do you know about any of the following:

    You mention unload pay what about load pay?
    Drop/Hook Pay (For load pickups/drops)
    Tank Wash Pay
    Breakdown Pay
    Sleeper Berth Pay
    Canada Border Crossing Pay
    Local Pay
    Layover Pay and after how many hours?
    Holiday Pay, Bereavement Pay, Jury Duty Pay
    Personal Days
    Training Pay
    Orientation Pay
    Vacation Pay

    What about how much these benefits cost?
    Health, Dental, and Prescription Insurance
    Single plan ??/week.
    Family plan ??/week.

    Life and disability insurance are paid for by the company?
    Vision Insurance?
    You mentioned 401k Plan do you know how much the company contributes?
    Profit Sharing Plan?

    As you might have guessed I'm writing a book. Well a notebook of the different tanker companys.

    Before getting hired on with Quality Carriers, you may want to check the company that you are being hired on by first. When I got hired on, I thought I was being hired by Quality Carriers and later on I found out that I was not hired by QC but a affiliate. I had gone through training in North Carolina, and that company there had all new Volvo's. I cannot say that for the company that I was hired on by. Each company is different. So again, ask questions before you accept the job.

    You are correct, my quotes are for Quality Carriers company not an affiliate company. Our trucks are not new and alot are different, I have a 2004 Mack, 13 speed, top speed 82. Some others are 10 speed and speed 75, others are 67 speed. i have heard that as they replace older trucks new ones will be set at 67.

    Be sure you ask, I thought I was being hired as a company driver, NOT SO.
    Each franchise is very different on everything.
    Make sure they will pay you for your time, I had about 30% unpaid time. You can't make a living working 70%.
