The pros & cons of fuel hauling?

It was a smaller regional company based out of WY that I wouldn't recommend working for, as they shorted all but one of my paychecks and the driver supervisor is a young cat who thinks it's okay to lie directly to you, hence I left despite the boomer stigma of being a job hoppper.

Pilot will hire without fuel experience so long as you've got at least close to 2 years of driving experience and a clean record, depending upon how desperate the area you're applying for is for bodies. Pilots a revolving door because they only give sporadic raises, cut benefits like weekend pay, and zero longevity bonuses compared to competitors.

 

Pilot will pretty much hire anyone with a pulse. Generally the lowest paying company in the area.

 

Yup. They're the second lowest paying company in Denver but can't figure out why they have a turnover issue...pay peanuts you're gonna get monkeys. "We'll do anything but value the driver, the Pilot way".

 

I drove in the Canadian Oilfields for about 15 Winters pretty well all for the same Company. Pumped and hauled Acid and Nitrogen as long as legally allowed. Best Job is Nitrogen, spills disappear by themselves. OK its TDG, don't want to get into an accident (I never did) and you need to know how to chain up but the Money is real good and there will be many Days/Nights where you have many many Hours to Sleep (all paid of course) at a Lease because they are not ready for your Truck just yet.

Weird that Wyoming and ND pay 36 and everyone else gets 29-32

 

ND has to compete with the oilfield, so that would make sense. WY has to still go to Denver on a regular basis and deal with the hazard that is i-80 in the winter. But meanwhile Florida drivers are still paid 27-29/hr, they're selective on where they pay competitively.

 

The main negatives compared to other sectors of trucking
Is you’re breathing in bs all day at the plant when you load when you unload as well, the goal is not to get the stuff on you everyday, but you will. you stink and it soaks into your skin.

 

Why are you getting it on your skin? Work cleaner and that’s not an issue.
