    Are you sure about Sunoco Logistics, Gipper? I know a couple of guys who use to work for them and they said Sunoco is the JB HUNT of the oil patch when it comes to paying their drivers.

    Yes I'm sure. That's where I work. I know of a few other companies that pay more but many that pay less. The other thing is consistency .. where I am there are over 200 leases we haul which means as many loads as you can handle & a 6:1 schedule if you want it.

    I can't speak for other areas but being a new driver I can't complain. After 2 years in maybe I'll look at my options .. sure wouldn't mind a $3200 quarterly bonus a competitor pays
