Local Fuel Hauling in Texas......by Cluggy

[Cluggy619]

Karnajj.

Your beef with me being back has been noted. Everyone here can clearly see that your not happy with me being here, and that is just too bad. Because I'm not going anywhere.

This thread was started to continue my experience as a fuel hauler in Texas. I would like to keep it that way.

If your wanting to start a pissing war with the mods, please go start a different thread. I'm sure more readers will be entertained there than here.

Now, if you got some useful information to post, please do so.

However, if your just looking for the old Cluggy, I'm sure I can drag him out to see you. Be careful what you ask for......... :twisted: :twisted:

I thought this idiot was banned?!?!?!

I was. I came back. I could always be banned again.


:wink:

One can only hope.

Doesn't say much for the integrity of the mods does it?[/quote]


If you have a problem with the decisions that I are ANY of the moderators here make please feel free to expand on those thoughts if you have the ability. First look up the word "integrity". Done that? GOOD! NOW, read this/these: http://www.classadrivers.com/phpBB2/rules.php . If you need help with the big words all you have to do is ask. There are many posters here that will help you with them. When you put it all together you can ask again what it ALL means, and there will be many people here that can try help you understand it. When that doesn't work, you can keep on with your one line attacks that you HOPE will get some crap started and end the thread, BUT!!!!! all it will get you is a real good insight on how it feels to have to come back under another name and start acting like a person.

I'm done,

Aren't we a little touchy? Nothing like violating your own rules by attacking someone, is there? But hey I have big shoulders bring it on. And oh, by the way, I'll match up my educational resume with yours any day you want. Have a nice day.

Hey, Your the one who called into question my ( and the other moderators ) INTEGRITY. I didn't have a dog in this fight until then but now I do. I won't spoil "Cluggy's" thread with our pi$$ing contest. Anything else needs to be done on another thread or thru PM's.

BTW: Just having an education does not make someone SMART.

I enjoy this thread also, if I ever decide to go back to the truck, which is a possibilty, your info has turned me on to this work.

My biggest problem - I have not driven since 2002 and the few companies I have talked to want me to go back otr to regain experience, this is not gonna happen, I have almost 20 years experience, no tickets, no accidents, but not interested in otr any longer.

Keep it safe...
Keep us informed...

From Jan. to late Apr., early May, is the slow period for most companies. However, most companies, including mine, will use this period to train new drivers, so that they will be ready when the season picks up.

Check around your area, and talk with the local fuel haulers. If you don't know anyone, ask a gas station who delivers their gas. They might even give you their number.:wink:

Good luck. :wink:

Ok. I hope all of the drama posting are over with. I'll try to continue with what I tried to start out doing, which is posting information about my current job.

The first check of the year is in, and quite frankly, a little disappointing in comparing it with the summer check. But here we go.

January 15, 2008

27 loads
5 splits/diversions
2 move truck
6 hours waiting time

Total check = $1542.00

This check is pay from Jan. 1st - Jan. 15th, with 5 days off. What is also disappointing is finding out that they paid me for 2 runs on Dec. 31st, then didn't let me run them. :evil: Otherwise, the check would have been $1642.00, so i guess I'll have to talk with my boss tomorrow.

This is now the lowest check I have received from this company. However, we are in the slow time of the year, and just got done with the holidays.

For this time of the year, I expect to get checks like this until late April, early May. Things should pick up then.

On the lighter side, I did have more time off, with 46 hours per week average. Not the greatest, but ok, I guess.

Hoping you all out there are doing better, and the freight hasn't affected you too badly.

Good luck to you all. Drive safe. :wink:

damn 1500 for just over 2 weeks of work with 5 days off in , well the days off part ain't too bad. i can't wait to see if he hits 4000 for a month...i doubt that he will.

I don't think I will unless things start to pick up early. However, about May is when things get busy. Then I'll do more...because I'll have to work 6 days a week just to keep up. :wink:

good deal, 4000 for six day work weeks....you da man.

[Cluggy619]

That is a good deal. $4000 for six days....I wish I could make that as well.

I think I stated $4000+ per month during the busy season. 5 or 6 day work week, depending on need.

I'm really not sure why you keep bothering to post here. You have nothing useful to say. I'm sure you can better use your time to bother someone else.

Or continue to post here.....someone has to be comic relief. :wink:

i think you and your big paycheck is comic enough. 3000 grand a month to offload flammable material. but you do get to sleep at home...if you don't blow up.

I never said it was a great check. Just that some drivers are not making that much being OTR, being starved out by snotnose dispatchers that you love so much. It seems very clear that it doesn't matter what the check is, your going to still be a jackass.

And just for the record, there are far worse things to be hualing. Transporting fuel is not as dangerous as you make it out to be, unless your a jackass driver. Then what happens to you would have happen to you in any truck.

Funny how attitude plays into both parts.

Now, if you are done, I would like to keep this thread for information on fuel hauling. Go bother someone else. :wink:

[Mackman]

4,000 a month can be done i did it. Haulin sh*t. Made 50k a year home every night and worked around 45-50hr a week. only at 22 and 23 years old with no OTR exp. Best job i ever had why i left i dunno still kick my self in the azz.

damn cluggy, most otr jobs start at more then you make if someone applies themselves. maybe for a dumby like you that wants to blame everyone else for their misfortune that is too hard. 20 jobs in 10 years shows how hard you work and how well you resolve your problems.

You crack me up.

Yes, I'm lazy.

Yes, I don't work my ass off. I take it easy.

Yes, I gone thru jobs about one every six months, even though I have worked for this company for over 18 months total......

Blame everybody? For what? I work a relatively easy job .....Why would I blame everybody?

Because I have it good?
Because I make good money?
Because I can pay my bills?
Because I can spend time with my family?


I figured I would ask you since your dumb ass is reading every post I write......

I think I'm doing pretty good for myself. I'm happy with the money I make. Everything is fine in my world.

Have a wonderful day. :wink:

In the end, my friend, that's all that really matters.

[Colts Fan]

I wouldn't worry too much about jedfxg or take anything he says into account. He is a troll that doesn't even drive a truck.

good colts, you picked that right up there. and too cluggy, you finally realized my point. who gives a **** what anybody thinks as long as YOU are happy. so for future reference, someone is not below you because they choose to go otr, or even drive for the dreaded jbhunt. some guys are as you say, "damn happy doing otr...damn happy at jb hunt...pa their damn bills...and spent the time at home that they want" who says you can;t teach an old dog new tricks. oh, by the way. colt, i drive linehaul job for a contractor at fedex ground out of the columbus ohio terminal

Let me get this straight.

I start a thread about my work at SWPT, and I'm looking down at everybody? My thread is just for information only. Only you think it's for something else.

Why don't you go get a life? Idiot.

With a little less name calling, then the moderator could be HAPPY too. :wink:

Sorry about calling him a idiot.

Please lock this thread.

Thanks.
