System adventures with the ducky

I did check into them once but did not have the required experience at the time. I think they lowered the years of experience since then. They did want 5 years but now they say either 4 years tanker or approved trucking school and two years tanker.

 

I never thought Superior was a bad company so that was never a reason for me wanting to quit them. Airgas was just an opportunity that came up sort of out of the blue. I can relate to being micro managed. That is why I quit my county job I had been at for 7 years.

I have given it some serious thought along with talking to my wife about it and have decided to not go to Airgas for now. The rough schedule and bi-weekly pay were the two main deciding factors not to go there right now. Not to mention my terminal manager was gracious enough to hire me back after I quit the first time. Like you said, Superior may not be perfect but they are far better than most companies out there and I have never been treated badly by them.

 

Here is a little pay info for any prospective drivers looking to come on with Superior. Just checked my ytd gross for January and February. So far I have grossed $11,256.83. That works out to $1407.10 average gross per week for the first 8 weeks of 2016.

I have been home every other weekend with 3 days off each time. Typically go out on a Monday and run 10-11 days then come home.

I did not go through and add up all the miles but I can tell you average is 1500-2000 per week. You don't have to kill yourself here to do alright.

 

I have only been staying out about 11 days at a time and taking off 3 when I get back in. It has been working pretty good for me that way so far in keeping a consistent check coming in. If these trucks had more storage space I might stay out a little longer but I am usually ready to get home after almost two weeks out.
