Tanker pump and PTO cost

I haul isos and my terminal manager asked me "would you be willing to put a product pump on your truck" I looked at him and said "if you pay for it".... I'm probably getting one installed soon

 

Did you change companies?

 

I switched to boasso, me and 2 other drivers were offered positions at the Savannah terminal since they didnt have enough drivers with the 18k bonus and we took it, home most of the nights, my commute doubled to 1 hour each way but hey win some lose some

 

Your doing a dangerous unload? I remember you were talking about being trained.

 

They trained me to do it, it pays about 5 dollars a mile all in round trip but I only get to do it every other week but supposedly since they have more trained people they will get more. No more speed limits, less stress so I like it so far.

 

Be sure you specify a vane type pump. They blow the product out of the hoses.

 

I realize I’m a little late to this post. The pto and hydraulic pump on my truck cost between $1500 to $1700. I have a hydra pac and lines running to an orbital motor to run trailer pumps. The whole setup installed cost $7500 to $8000 new I believe.

 

they told me that they wont finance it and I got to pay out of pocket, I don't think is worth it

 

That sounds like a dirty Jersey company. They want you to take the risk and they don't have skin in the game.

 

Man prices really went up since 2000 got a pto and hydrapak for 4k installed.
