First year net for me was 84k, tank wagon work. Fuel is the best, it's just more mental than anything. If your a safe driver, and can handle paperwork your golden.
And to add, some markets are willing to hire out of school. Just have some common sense, leave your ego at home and learn all you can. It's a tribal knowledge kind of job, lots of little stuff you need to able to take in while learning.
@@salstonightsbiggestloser had an interview to be a fuel hauler, I took a cdl class back in October 2020 so hopefully it works out. $29/hour overtime after 40 and full benefits. Home every day. I hope I get it
@@salstonightsbiggestloser thanks man, that’s what I thought too. I’m working for Tyson Foods spotting trailers. Done that for 4 years but only making $18 an hour. Got my cdl and haven’t used it so I figured I’d look for something local. I love the fact that I’d be getting DOT experience along with hazmat/tanker experience all in one job.
@@Billy-hx3zi Yes sir, someone told me years ago when I started trucking that with a CDL, your only weren't working unless you wanted to. Just be safe, pay attention, and never rush unless you are comfortably able too. You will spill or "dome out" eventually. Its what you do when that happens that makes a difference.
i just got hired straight outta school, no experience. the company came to my school, i talked to them, then got my hazmat/tanker endorsements filled out an application online they called a couple of times, trying to get my tested scores from school. then bang phone rung about a month or two later, they asked if i would like to work the night shift. all drivers are guaranteed a minimum of $1400 a week. no experience. so it’s possible to get straight on. you need a clean mvr. and i’m a convicted felon. it’s been 20yrs since my conviction tho. “nothing can stop u but u.”
My first job out of high school was for a fuel transport company. Changing tires, service, fixing lights. They put me in a truck when I was 19 and fuel tankers and propane trailers are the only trailers I’ve ever pulled in 38 years. I work about 53 hours a week in five days and make about $73,000 a year. I don’t think I have spent twenty nights out of town in that time.
That's not nothing ! Maybe 30 years ago that was a great salary. I live in a LA in the ghetto and the cheapest one bedroom apartment cost $1700 a month ! Do the math and 72k a year is nothing.
I'm gonna hit my 1 year experience driving trucks in 2 months this interview was very educational. I am now looking to get into fuel hauling I know that's where the money is at, I'm glad I'm ahead of the game learning this now and not be those truck drivers working for 5-10 years for a regular company knowing they could've made more money hauling fuel...
Been driving 19yrs. Been pulling fuel for 2yrs. Fuel is dangerous but ez work. Good money with not a lot of driving most times. Depending how far you have to go out from the fuel terminals. I’ll do 3 to 4 stops in 12hrs, maybe one 14hr a week. Be it a pump off (diesel 1993) or gas stations. In about 200 to 270miles total per day. I’m on a 4 day work week. With options to pick up an extra day. However there are health risk that goes along with fuel like “Breathe in”. But I do know driving 25+yrs in good health.
Making an update here. This year in my local area we've seen a 7.00 increase this year and 1.00 extra for night shift work. The range is 31.00 - 34.00 avg. 50+ hours a week, full benefits etc. Only 2 here are still paid by the load that I know of. Considering 3 years ago top pay was 23.00 and hour... you do the math. Workers are in a high demand and the shortage means pay will continue to grow for time to come.
What do you know about Superior Tank Lines in socal? I have a roadtest with them tomorrow. I have 5 years driving experience no tankers tho. Looking to break into tanker
@@NightShift12am If it's the same Superior fuel company as the PDX/Seattle area they are a good company from what I hear. And some of the best paid. Drive safe and do a good pretrip kicking tires etc. If they like what they see expect 2 weeks to at least 1 month of training and getting carded at a rack/ tank farm. If you are good with numbers and keeping track of what you are doing you will do good. Safety and being honest of your fuck ups when they happen will get you far. And you will fuck up doing fuel in some way, it happens. 🤪
It’s all in location! I hauled fuel a few years ago for a small company. The guy had about 12 trucks. North TX. I earned more money without a hazmat hauling milk rather than fuel. It’s all about location and where you sign up or what company you want to work for. I preferred not to work for a large company. And I still prefer not to. I would imagine if you work for a larger outfit you can earn more. It doesn’t have to be fuel. It’s all about what’s HOT where you live
@@nvccimvne3744 I worked with chemicals for years and only needed Hazmat training to handle very few of them. I don't know if driving is the same do you know the answer.
Late to the party but I'm from PA. Just got my Hazmat. No Lie BRT picked me up before I got back my hazmat. Took the test and fingerprints just didn't have the license physically, but $30hr minimal 50hr a/wk. I have 6yrs of experience but 1yr of tanker. Do the math 93k a/yr easily
Fuel is good. You make good money in some LTL companies too. I made 100k when I was running hard. Now I'm relaxing and I make 90k workinga local 8hr shift. Fuel is more secured though when the economy is shit.
Asian Mai great information interview. My brother Dirty Broke215 humble, honest , down to earth dude giving straight up jewels. Local fuel hauling making bank ..Mmm. 😲👀🤔💪🏾👂🏽💰💵🚛🌍💯✌🏾
Brand new driver here I’m starting at 70-75 k with implemented overtime- it’s a lower paying company but stress free - locomotive fueling -red dye diesel 4 days a week 12 hour shifts.needed to add that I’m fresh out of cdl school and held out for a good position
I get 1250 week garenteed as long as i show up monday to Friday. Normal rate is 27% of linehaul. Extra money if you work weekends.. 401 k insurance dental health long and short home been running 8 to 11 hrs a day..
@@xDead27Eyex I'm city driver, no linehaul, the linehaul guys make over 100k at my terminal, but that's way more difficult, 8 hours of driving plus another 2.5 to 4 hours of unloading your trailer.
Thanks “ Dirty “ and “ A’ M’ “ for all the great info and content!!! I’m from Richmond,Va’ and I’ve been out of trucking 5’yrs due to medical reasons. I’m currently trying to get my CDL back and thinking of getting Tank/Hazmat endorsements. Do you know if you’re company or of any fuel company that would hire with fresh endorsements? I had close to 16yrs Class A before I was put out of work. Thanks!!!
Ive been hauling furl for over 22 years and most fuel hauling companies don't require previous hazmat hauling experience, what they are mostly looking for is 2 years verifiable Commercial driving experience. I currently work for a the largest Fuel- refinery company in the U.S. and my employer is currently hiring Truck Driving School Grads to haul fuel all over the United States.
I do appreciate you putting the info out there brother, as I have looked into fuel hauling myself. Great video. Hope my comment didnt come across sideways. Im O/O , run local containers in the south and the gross pay is 75-120k avg. Home daily.
Get an interview with someone who works in LTL for companies like ODFL, Saia, FedEx FREIGHT, UPS, Estes Express etc. LTL is the bread and butter of the trucking industry. 80-100k+ jobs mon-fri weekends off holidays off great benefits and retirement. No foodservice or fuel hauler can come close to the perks these companies provide.
Did you find a company yet ? If you don’t have experience I recommend going with swissport aviation to gain experience. The pay is low starting at 21 but aye got to start somewhere. Then later on check for Circle K, Florida Rock and tank, and eagle transport. Your looking at $70K- 90K annually.
Gross is the important number. Net is so variable depending on many things. If you know the gross, you can plug in your personal data and get your estimated net.
The cheap no good companies always get drivers with no experience the good ones that pay good with good schedules minimum 2 years experience and the competition is tough. You better have an amazing resume and be a good interview otherwise good luck getting in even if you are a great driver but if you can't put your skills into works bye bye
@@nyo2828 go figure, a few months after I posted this comment I see them in Nevada and Utah😆 I did look into them but they don’t want to pay any overtime. So 4-10’s is all I’d be working. Nice to have time off but gotta have money too!
@@corycarson88 Then you pick-up a side hussle. Nothing wrong with 4-10's in our industry. Consider it Part Time and find something else to fill the void if you so choose.
