    Dry van and reefer seems to earn petty pay, I'd like to earn as much as I can without bumping a dock! Please tell me which division pays the most an where I can receive training. I'm an owner op

    It's been debatable that fuel hauling is different than hazmat...it is a placarded, hazardous load but companies don't think it compares to hauling materials such as acid or explosives. I think it's the common-ness of gasoline tankers that makes them pay less, but that's just my opinion

    I think that gas tanker pay is a reflection of local economics, most tanker companies run a majority of their miles inside a 200-300 mile radius so their operating costs, including driver pay, is reflected in their freight rates for that area. What you think is crap wages might be just fine for someone else

    Food grade normally won't pay nearly as good as chemicals.
