    I got out of tankers for now. I work for a paving company. Lots of aggregates and asphalt. I pull a flatbed with my dump truck too most days. Easy stuff, chain each corner and go.

    I run a lot of skid steer and roller too. So basically a little of everything lol.

    Don't y'all slow down in the winter? When I pulled the 'phalt I had to run flats (Jersey Barriers/Lennils (sp?>) a few snowy months out of the year; only part that sucked.)

    Thank you. I'm the OP. I first saw the term Tankwagon in a want ad. One company had 3 different driving jobs. 1 Tanker driver, 2 Tankwagon driver, 3 Crude oil tanker driver.
     
    Air Cooled and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    Yeah, we’re done from thanksgiving to spring. Once I got some rank I can run a loader in the winter feeding the crusher or do plant and machine maintenance.

    I got another job to keep me busy in the winter working for a commercial landscaping company wrenching and plowing/hauling snow etc.
