Well..... I don't know about that specific company, but in the tanker thread you asked for ANY info on fuel hauling. I suppose you could find something in the 21 pages of THIS thread..........

Hauling fuel does take a certain type or person and it isn't for everyone. I hauled fuel for Kenan Advantage. I had an opportunity I couldn't pass on and got out of trucking. I would still be working for them if I were still driving and if I went back into driving. I would go back to hauling fuel.
I think it's relatively safe, safer than pulling doubles. Trucking accidents are pretty common, tanking accidents really don't happen to often (when they do you hear about them).

lve2drv, my dad just celebrated his 15th anniversary with Energy Dispatch down here in Tampa. Like any other company, it has its positives and negatives. He likes the fact that they don't haul diesel, no sticking(measuring) the tanks and Race Trac's stores are easily accessible. It's all self dispatch too. Had I not stumble upon my current gig with Penske, I'd be hauling fuel too.
