| I drive for a local food service company in Pittsburgh doing regional delivers(eastern,PA and De) Been doing it for 3 years now. Been a driver for 8. Started with a HHG agent in Pittsburgh and then moved to foodservice. The pay is good, excellent home time and great benefits. Have done both local and regional for this company and prefer regional. Four day work week, two nights out of town(Monday and Thursday) and weekends off. It may be back breaking work but I like it. :D |

I loved driving a food-grade tanker for Jim Aartman out of Ripon, CA. Very good equipment, plenty of miles, plenty of time off, and the job was easy beyond belief...pull into a loading bay, wait for the customer to load or unload the tank, and get rolling. Unfortunately the pay was a bit low regardless of how many miles you could drive...
...so I switched back to a chemical tank outfit, Superior Carriers out of Oak Brook (Chicago), IL. The equipment may not be the newest or fastest, but I now get paid for everything I do with the execption of fueling the truck and my pre- and post-trip inspection. I've made some very good money with them so far, especiallly in some of the weeks where my lack of miles would have starved or put a serious crunch upon someone driving for stricly mileage pay only :wink:. |

| i drive for conway truckload and like it. i run the southeast and drive a 2006 volvo. they try to be a different style of trucking company by treating the drivers from respect from the very first day. if you are a team you can run national and get all the miles you want basically running terminal to terminal. |
