    He’s absolutely right about Loves fuel haulers (I am one) we average $65k/yr throughout the nation. Of course other parts of the country pay higher. For example in the SW U.S. we probably avg $75k/yr. It is by far the easiest trucking job I’ve ever been paid for. As I’m sure you know all we do is service the Loves t/s. I did a short 4yrs OTR and I wouldn’t trade being home nightly for $100k OTR job. No disrespect to our OTR drivers but it’s a huge perk for me being home with my family every night. Stay safe drivers!

    When I first started driving 15years ago, Schneider was offering tanker positions for student drivers. I got my feet wet in their dryvan division, but if I would have known tank was an option, that’s what I would have done. Best hometime you’ll get is with tank or touch freight.

    Schneider also will sometimes have a sign on bonus, one question to ask the recruiter if anyone is looking into Schneider for the tanker division. Also if you are looking to get your class A license they will put you through their trucking school which if you pass it is a one year commitment they have you sign. I came into Schneider with my class A and all my endorsements, so I got a $8,000 sign on bonus.

      Water hauling jobs are called Vacuum Truck Drivers. You drive production water that is produced from oil that gets pumped up from underground. The Vacuum Truck can also do various other types of jobs necessary to the oil field. I did it for the last 7 years. Normally a 6 on 2 off schedule or a 4 on 2 off schedule. You'll make 65k-100k depending on the schedule and company. It can be a lot of work sometimes and 12hr shifts slip seat

      Nope, just a company driver. Non union, get paid by the mile and home every day! I work Monday thru Friday night and run about 630mi a night. That pretty much runs out my hrs for the week. I'll usually have roughly 8hrs left over to do a small run if I want extra miles. Also, full benefits including a generous 401k program and employee stock option.

    The HazMat endorsement will cost you $150-200. Whether you get HazMat or not, get your tanker endorsement even if you plan to haul dry van or reefer. Tanker endorsement is required for certain freight that rides inside of dry vans or reefer trailers. Tanker endorsement is just a test on the computer at the DMV, maybe $20. Newbies have to pass General Knowledge, Combination, Air Brakes for Class A CDL. They should also add Doubles/Triples, Tanker, and HazMat if you can afford it. HazMat is not a guarantee of more pay, but not having it is a guarantee you cannot get certain jobs. Why volunteer to be kept out of certain jobs?
    You have to renew HazMat and retake the test on computer each time you renew it. All of the other endorsements do not require you re-take any of the tests. Once you have them you keep them.

    Water weenie companies are hiring ALL over the oil field in west Texas. They'll give new drivers experience in tankers. I broke out in one. Quit after three weeks because of equipment failures. Switched to hauling chemical totes and have worked towards my goals. If you want tanker out of school, go to a water weenie company. Try to find one with decent equipment though.... lol

  • @thomascooper5050

    Yes, you can make a lot more money hauling hazard tank. I’ve been driving for 25yrs now I drive acid either 28% or 36% and I make a min of 1400.00 per week. Now that’s in the energy end , which is a pain and tough. Hauling gas or diesel you should make no less than 20.00 hr . Now in order to do this you need experience, for what I do you need a lot of experience, acid is very heavy and beats you there’s no baffling. Fuel , gas things like that are in separate compartments but gas is very unstable with all the crap they put in it. If your new to driving here’s my advice always push yourself to drive different equipment like flat bed, tank, refer buckets etc because pulling special freight pays more than just van general stuff also I prefer % pay over mileage or hourly.

    Pretty accurate; except larger companies are not always the way to go. You often are just treated like a piece of equipment at many of them. The drivers that work for the company I work for "first-year" without experience will make 75 to 80k. We work roughly 50-55hrs per week. By your second or third year, you can be near 100k. Our drivers average between 75k to 100k and they are home every day.

      I pull a flatbed and I'm home most weekends. I typically get home Friday evening and then I leave on Sunday. Sometimes I have to leave early on Sunday but not always. Home time has a lot to do with the company and how much freight there is in your area.

      Correct... Schneider has a Bulk Tanker division that hires new drivers right out of Truck Driving School (if it's a reputable one)..
