      All I’ve heard is good things about Gemini. the closest one is about a hour and a half, there nearest market from them is 30 mins and not sure if they would hire someone that far though have seen there trucks come through the city I live in but maybe I’ll give it a shot after I build my resume as a fuel hauler would love to work for these guys.

    Where do you fuel the tanker up at the beginning of your shift? Is it hard too find those places too fuel the tanker? Do you just only deliver fuel or def too only loves trucks stop not little mom and pop gas stations if this makes sense?
    How hard was it too learn tanker? Were you nervous at first cause it was something different and new challenge? How long was training and how much do you get paid during training?
    Does fuel get slow since we aren't really producing our own oil and relying on other countries?

Companies are going to implement things like Cameras or whatever else they decide to come up with. Question is, do you have a line that is crossed when a company implements something where you say that's not acceptable or is the money and being at home every night trumps everything else?🤔

      Because some of the drivers are making a 100k plus. By the time u pay your taxes and your fuel cost and any break downs you my half it’s not a big difference just with dispatch. These jobs are to pay you enough to invest in a buisness. Their only working 5 days a week and some 4 unless you want overtime.
