    Trimac, as I understand it, like many tanker companies is run at the terminal level. Each yard is it's own kingdom. Some are even unionized. The yard my company shares with Trimac near Paducah, KY is unionized.

    Estes will keep you out as long as you like. The guys I know that run linehaul there make around $1,700 to $2,000 a week. All drop/hook terminal to terminal runs. Run daycabs and stay in motels.

    I think I might look into them, right now I'm pulling team hazmat. Truck is making 58 cents a mile but my partner is planning to do something else within a year and then I'll need to find something else also.


    Appreciate y'all !

    If you're willing to team top rate at OD is around 72-75 cpm depending on region.
    You'd have to be a moron or a genius to find a way to make less than $90k there

    Meaning, never plan anything.

    I have been saving for a new computer. I had $900 saved.
    My older daughter needed some help, and there went $400.
    Then my ex-wife's car broke, so I gave her $600 for a down payment on another to replace it. Going into winter in Denver, with my 2 youngest daughters with her, ... well.

    Sometimes what you think you are saving for goes to something else.
    That's life.
    But you can not really plan for it. It just happens. And sometimes what you think you are planning for is actually something quite different.
