anyone know anything about Langer transport O/O program

[moe]

I'm getting ready to lease on with Langer pulling tankers, I have a pump and compressor and liquid experience (not recent) but would like to hear from anyone who might know something about them first hand, any info would be greatly appreciated as I will be signing on this week. Last year I tried QC for 4 months and do not want to make another mistake like that.

what is there rate per mile.......???

i'm in jersey city where the main terminal is...when i was interested in tankers they were willing to train me as a newb for 8.00 p/hr...then it was to go up to 18-19 p/hr all local (100mile radius)..no time an a half for ot...
sorry i dont' know much beyond that......i know the local guys do very long hours............

have you checked out superior or miller transport...or dana....????

BOL 2 ya :!: :!: 8) 8)

66% of gross which I know doesn't tell you much, but a buck a mile plus fuel sur-charge gauranteed for dead head. The terminal mngr. said they avg. $1.30 before fuel.

I haven't ran across any Langer drivers to ask, they always seem to be going the other way--- and I'm new here,(CAD) hopefully one of the other tanker O/O or drivers may have heard something they might pass on. I'm not new to trucking, I,ve been running on my own auth. for 12 years except for 4 months last year and did tanker work before that for 5 years. I asked all the questions that were important but would like to hear from another scource besides Langer.

I don't know anything about them,Maniac will have answers when he stops by.

Thanks, I'm steppin out, I'll check back in about 2hrs. I certainly appreciate any input.

[Maniac]

I have a few friends that are there, can't get straight answers out of them.

They are making money, but a lot of "funny money"

Certain loads pay 2 different ways, 1 when you come back empty and another when you come back loaded, can't figure out their surcharge either.

Thee is a guy on this board, nsx2001 or something like that that also just started there.

Personally speaking for myself, you would never see their name on my truck......NEVER

Just noticed you are from SC, the Dana/Suttles terminal in Charlotte is overrun with drivers, seems the terminal manager is trying to prove he has the biggest terminal, even though he doesn't have the work for all those trucks.

I am with Dana, and I stay away from that terminal, I suggest you do too.

[moe]

I talked with the Dana terminal mngr. in Greenville,SC about 3 weeks ago and he didn't sound to sharp so I veered away from that option. The answer you got from the drivers you talked to is kind of like the one I got from Langer, no real solid numbers but the overall est. numbers seemed ok. I do appreciate you going thru the trouble of finding out what you could Maniac--thanks

Hey Rookie

I Never worked for Langer but I did apply there. like maniac said you can't really get straight answers out of them. I decided to lease to Enterprise Transportation Company out of Rahway. I was there for 5 months I left because the rates are very low but i was told that before I leased on. they was the only company that would take me no tank experience.. I'm currently doing flatbed northeast only and very happy so far I'm spending alot more time home or near my house..

Good Luck!

[moe]

thanks---- I'll stay away from enterprise anyway. I'll let everyone know how it works out. Maybe since there's a lack of info thats a good thing. My trucks paid for as is my equipment so I won't be captured and put on a leash.

Moe, check Horizon Tank out of Wilmington NC, I believe they have a terminal in Greenville SC and in Augusta ga

[moe]

I looked up Horizon and they have terminals in Charleston, Augusta and Charlotte. All would be 100 or more miles. Unless I hear some really bad testimonials I'm going to try Langer out, in fact I probably will be going tomorrow to sign on. I have to say I liked the people at the terminal I talked with and based on that and the tank terminal is only 10 miles from the house, among other things and haven't heard any bad war stories i'm doing it. I do appreciate the feedback I have recieved, thanks

Keep us informed,it would be interesting to hear what the actual pay and working conditions are like over there.

moe,

keep us posted....................... inquiring minds want to know............

BOL 2 ya................ 8) 8) 8) 8)

[moe]

The next two days I will be going thru somewhat of an orientation. I will know much more and will try to keep you up with it (if it's not to boring) The reason I say somewhat is I don't actually go thru a school, I will be learning thier ways at thier Rock Hill, SC terminal. ===

Since you are in Greenville Spartanburg give AJ Wigand a call. If they need guys I have heard from a couple of their O/O's that they are a great company. They are small but I have heard they are very good to work with, kind of like Heniff.

[moe]

A.J weigand is a great company, I was leased to them for 4 years in the early 90's but some times you just don't want to go back where you were. I would recommend them highly to anyone but I'm kind a ready for a new adventure. Besides I already have started the process, but thanks for the good advice. I'm in a motel in Rock Hill at the moment by way of Langer and they seem to be really nice people, they pay for my training time and also a $5000.00 sign on bonus stretched out. Unless anything unforseen happens i'm sticking it out.

[GTR SILVER]

moe...........let us know how your making out...................if you have any info on the company side let me know..........

I just finished my 2nd week. So far I like it, but I have not been payed yet. As far as the work and the people I am working with goes it's great. The trailers seem to be in good shape and so far have mostly been air ride. The company doesn't seem to have a lot of nit-picking rules and it's actually been enjoyable. It is the complete oppisite of QC. If the money is decent I will be very happy here. Thanks for asking. I would have responded sooner but could not get on to this site. As things unfold I will keep you all up on my progress.
