Why is so difficult. .

Hello fellow drivers, me and my team driver
- clean background ckeck( no arrest,felonies, clean)
- passports both drivers.
- TWIC card holders
-Security passport ( some refineries ask for)
-clean driving record, meaning no point, no tickets, no accidents, damages, nothing for at least 6 years o more
- T, N,H, X.
-willing to work minimum 3 month to max 6 months WITHOUT STOP, yes as you read no stopping, no home time, no ########, just work.
- OTR, no regional, no local, OTR the whole time....coast to coast, Canada ( no México, sorry)
- 20 years combine CDL.
......now if you read and understand that, please explain why is so #### hard to get a decent driving hauling tanker hazmat???, why recruiter are lame as always?
Thanks.

 

Puzzling. You must be holding something back.

 

Nope.

 

Because tank work is usually regional at best and not set up for teams. Many chemical shippers won't let someone stay in the truck while loading or blowing off so your teammate wouldn't get a true break.

Running how you describe is more suited for refer, really the only true OTR left today.

 

Actually , an O/O told me he w as willing to pay me 40% on every load (tanker, thing hauling oil or chemicals, not sure), he works for UPT. Not sure if is a good deal, any input?

 

Thanks Brian, makes a lot of sense.

 

Sadly the whole transportation model is changing because there are fewer drivers that want true OTR life. So the shippers are building more distribution points that allow for shorter runs and putting long hauls on the trains.

Look at the oil patch -base oil, sand and everything else is loaded on trains in LA or TX and railed to PA, ND, AK rather than trucked.

True OTR is coming to an end as the next generation of drivers barely want to do the final mile deliveries. Sad but true.

Good luck in your search.

 

Trimac Transportation hires teams to run coast to coast & border to border & Canada!
Not too long ago they hired a team right out of cdl school for that.

 

ThX Chinatown, I'll look up.

 

The final mile could take 3 hours if you are in Atlanta. Someday there will be routing around cities and dropdocks. You leave it there and some electric truck will haul it in. Works for me.
