    Sometimes its more than that. Loves has been paying me .03/gallon for a while now. I am only 200 gallons away from hitting .04 for next month. We get to choose where we fuel though. Some companies tell you what route to run, where to get fuel, and how much you are allowed to put in the tanks.

    I just saw an ad from Airgas in Sacramento that they hire new CDL grads. Maybe some Airgas terminals are doing this now. Would be worth the time to submit an application.

    That is an excellent piece of luck, God was on your side. That is a company to work for.

    Good luck to you and your family!

    Not if you control your situation. Know what you're doing and your tanks will never explode. It takes all three sides of the fire triangle to have a fire and I always kept the air outside. Either you're vapor rich or product rich, with gasoline anyway.

    That's the nicest QC truck I've seen. All the QC trucks I see on the road are beat to ####. Tanks dented all over.
