What’s a respectable cpm for tanker these days?

So, I came across an interesting job opportunity in my Indeed feed, but the pay seems low to me. It’s liquid bulk, out and back runs from Houston to Canada for Trimac. I know Trimac does mostly food grade, but I think they do chemical now as well. Thing is pay is 62 cpm loaded, 58 empty. Seems low to me since I’m doing dry van/reefer now at 47 cpm plus 10 cpm per diem. Any thoughts? Yes, I have a passport. Yes, I’m eligible to enter Canada. Yes, I have tanker and hazmat (with experience in both). Just heading off some questions.

 

It may be an east coast thing then. When I lived out east, all the Trimac terminals were food grade. Granted, the only ones I was super familiar with were Louisville, KY and Chattanooga, TN. Yeah, definitely sounds like Trimac is a hard pass.

 

Fair point. I don’t have fuel experience, so the only one off the top of my head in Houston that hires fuel haulers with no experience is TTE (Texas TransEastern), but I haven’t looked too much into the fuel hauling companies in Houston. I haven’t seen many listings, so those jobs probably don’t come open often. The ones I do see usually require experience.

 

Yeah, I’d love to get on with RB Stewart, but I don’t have the experience they want and they have a no piercings/tattoos policy and my ears are stretched, so yeah.

 

I’ve heard Frontier treats their drivers pretty bad, don't they? Maybe that’s a different Frontier. I’ll check out UPT. I don’t have the experience that RB Stewart requires, and KAG is really hard to get on with. I tried multiple times before I moved to Texas with no success.
