Researching all I can between each of these HAZMat tanker companies. Kind of at the end of my rope with the non HAZMat foodgrade thing and need a change of scenery. As far as OTR goes, I make more money on regional runs than coast-to-coast/48 state. The pay in relation to the extra work(probably not much) involved with fuel hauling. Just got to take that leap and leave my current area since it's a "HAZMat desert". Plenty of trucking jobs here. But it's all non HAZMat agriculture that tops out around $60k/year. Nights? I'm good to go.
Im going to apply for a local fuel spot with kag after i take my endorsement tests tomorrow. Unfortunately we dont have specialty products either. We got regional, but id prefer to be home everyday. Had enough of being gone 2wks and home for 2-3 days.
I just got my cdl last year. And glad i did. Was worth it. Work for a cement company, they pour alot of cement. Now i get to haul equipment to jobs and suppose to haul cement soon ( pneumatic tankers, not the spinning concrete trucks ). Got a decent raise and get to be home daily. Always wondered about kag tho, how much experience do they require?
Good shit bruh. I appreciate this. I'm in Memphis, and they're trying to hire me for the weekend warrior. That's terrible, but I may roll with it for now
Bro ive been otr for 7years van,reefer,flatbed and applied for keenan for the past 2years and kept getting denied.. i went on indeed and got hired by an o/o who works for kenan lol thats crazy...i trained for 21 days with a trainer and now this my first week completed by myself
Gene, I am new to your channel. I got here I believe for the same reason we all looking into a hauling fuel job. I currently work for FedEx Freight in Texas. I got all three endorsements required. TWIC card is the only one I am missing. Now my question to you is.. How well is the benefits with KAG? Is there a list of everything you could get? 401K what's companies top match? I'll highly appreciate all the info you could provide from an employee prospective.
I’m with KAG Food products pulling tanker Im trying to get on with KAG energy I got fuel haul experience just got my hazmat endorsement back hopefully I get hired
Unfortunately, i can't agree with you that having a CDL is the best option.. there are non-degree low voltage field techs bringing in 2500 a week complete with a company vehichle and company truckers only grabbing 1500 max, Unfortunately.
Hey bro. We appreciate you giving everyone game on the fuel jobs. What kind of money does owner operators make over there? I'm in South Texas. How would they compare to UPT owner operators?
If you happen run across one out the will you ask them and get back with me please? Recruiter will tell me the percentage but no real weekly or biweekly numbers
I had the same "interview" situation as you did. KAG recruiter called and offered weekend warrior as the only available schedule available. I said I wasn't Interested and requested to hear a call back about a morning shift when one came up. Are 12 hour days pretty much consistent for you? Is it ever much shorter or longer than that?
I heard u mention u local. I prefer to be local as well but KAG only has regional positions in my area. It say Mon - Fri 10-12 hour shifts. I was wondering if u have any insight on how many nights regional drivers out if off on weekends. And how long is the orientation/training process of being away from home.
I made the switch from otr to hauling gas...good money,good benefits,life insurance and home dauly
What company u work for locally ?
@waun01 I work for KAG ENERGY
Love the energy! I live in my car and just started my RUclips channel and love seeing other peoples experiences. Keep up the good work.
Thank you … You should record and post your journey twice a week .
Aye man, you have a awesome spirit brotha. I appreciate the info💪🏿
Thanks 💯

Hey Family well let’s know how we get started I’m moving from Michigan from Texas I want a change please help
1st step is get your CDL and get 1yr of driving experience.. Once you do that you qualify for the job . You also need a tanker and hazmat endorsement
Company treats me well ,, I am a trainer also so I have the best of both worlds i’ve been working here for a year and a half now money in my bank😊
How much you gross per week on average?

applied and got denied. i'll apply again but having no tanker experience is difficult getting in the door somewhere

I had the same "interview" situation as you did.
KAG recruiter called and offered weekend warrior as the only available schedule available. I said I wasn't Interested and requested to hear a call back about a morning shift when one came up.
Are 12 hour days pretty much consistent for you? Is it ever much shorter or longer than that?
I believe he said weekend warrior was 34/hr and the other normal shifts were 30/hr...northern Indiana
Pretty consistent in my area 11 to 12
So what u going to do
@gene_begreattv I'm going to wait til the morning shift for Sunday-Thurs becomes available. I would have Friday and Saturday off
Weekend warrior is $38 in Northwest IN/ South Chicago area
KAG sure can't read signs at ventura foods!
Did you need a year of tractor trailer experience
Yes
I spent 2.5k at cdl school last year. Got a job this year at Pepsi 90k a year. Best investment ever
Exactly 50,000% return
Just came to your channel thru slime_pac392
Is that 100k without over time?
No you will need OT
