Hey 1truckdrivinsono***un do you know if Evans Dedicated has gone out of business? I'm in Florida right now and heard the company has had a few serious accidents and heard they have closed down. Thanks in advance!

I have also traveled out of town on a few occasions to make an extra $90 a day (out of town pay) on top of the loads I pulled so it adds up quickly. We have guys that are making upwards of 65 to 75+ K a year so it just depends.
If I had not gone out of town, learned to do pump offs, and worked the extra days when available I would be close to $49,000 for the year. You can expect to make at least $45,000 but more likely 50,000+ with the opportunity to make a great deal more if you do the job correctly and don't screw up, check out some of my old fuel post they may give you an idea of what to expect when pulling fuel. I have pulled fuel since the summer of 08 so this is my first full year doing it. I love this job and best of all I am home every night you can't beat that. What is the company you are looking to join with. Not all fuel companies are created equal, some say my company is a bottom barrel company and to that I say not in my mind, They treat me great and have given me opportunities beyond my expectations when I had no experience pulling fuel let alone a tanker. Pulling fuel is a mental job and not for everyone, you really need to have your head in one spot from the moment you start to the minute you finish, any deviation may result in something as little as a small gasoline bath to mixing diesel with regular, or worse.
If you have any other questions let me know I will gladly answer them for you if I can.

I don't know if they have gone out of business but I don't see them any more like I used to. They still have a working website I guess you would have call and ask.

haven't gotten my W-2 yet, and i figure the first couple weeks of my job probably skew my pay down.
But, doing some rough math, it would appear that I would have made $44k my first year in, but I've only been on since July, so I have to extrapolate.
Been hauling a lot of ethanol and doing lots of long miles, which really drives down the $/hr.

So, Hawk, how's the experience with Reliable Tankers?
