@dirkmagurk7086 People exaggerate alot or just have horrible financial skills because I was living super comfortable in Los Angeles county (40k after tax) before my job took me away. Could take multiple vacations a year while maintaining a new car note and 2k apt, eating out as much as I wanted to. Then again, I'm young and single so I can see how an eneducated family can struggle.

I used to deliver fuel, midnight shift was the absolute best. The terminals are empty, so you can get loaded without waiting, sometimes hours. The roads are almost empty so traffic isn’t an issue. Way less chances of problems from bad drivers. The gas station is either closed or basically empty, so your delivery goes way smoother too.

@@gold-blooded I've always heard that FedEx freight drivers are all contractors and not company employees. Is that true? Makes sense that you have to have all of your endorsements for FedEx Freight, because you have to have a tanker endorsement to haul even just 500 gallons of any liquid in a liquid tote container (The gallons might be different). Same with hazardous materials like small Coleman camping sized propane canisters. Even if it is just one box in a trailer full of other non hazardous camping supplies, a hazardous endorsement may still be required to haul that one box of propane canisters.
As a former truck driver. This is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world . If you have an “accident” BOOM you’re dead. If someone runs into the back of your truck BOOM you’re dead. If someone runs a red light and hits you BOOM you’re dead . Everyday you climb in that truck carrying fuel you’ll say your prayers and call your loved ones to tell them you love them if anything happens . It pays that well for a reason .
That's. Bullshit. They would never hire a felon unless they trained him for 10 years would you want a convicted felon driving a bomb around your city I don't think so
Yes. It's the OT that drives up the wages for the UPS guys. It's the same thing with law enforcement. They clock in a lot of OT. A six figure income is easy to reach. Some cops in San Francisco will make $250k and more a year. I imagine it's the same thing in other big cities.
This is not for everybody You have to be BUILT for this type of work! You have to be ok with not seeing your family Some spouses are fine with it, some won’t accept it. Salute to those who make these sacrifices though
You can work 12 hr shifts because it’s easy work driving a truck and sticking a hose in a hole, do 12 hrs 5 days a week running a high speed buffer and wet sander and you’d quit in a week
Much, much MUCH, respect for the tanker truckers that transport the most dangerous and volatile freight, which is combustible fuel. More power to them!
7 years Otr last 10 years hauling fuel. 5 days a week. Working days. My guarantee is $1750 as long as I work 5 days. I typically do 2100(gross) a week.
This is why truckers literally burn out, I did. You work all night then go home and sleep, then back to work. On the weekends your significant other wants to do something, anything since you have been gone all week. You flip your schedule as I did and get maybe 4hrs of sleep then go ride or drive, enjoy nice meals and music. Sleep hard that night and the next day do it all over again. Sunday night you have to stay up all night to flip your schedule back again. You arrive at work Monday night DEAD, and do it all over again. I was making $50hr. Your body just can't keep doing this over time, trust me.
2-2 is a tough shift whether day or night. I used to work 7a-7p which in my opinion is the best slot if working 12’s. Bless this man he’s taking time to answer a bunch of questions from a curious stranger.
Ey foo an uncle of mine did that for 12 years. He passed away behind the wheel company paid well too around 80k per year in 1990. That was good money back then. I’m only sharing this because he was my blood aunt’s husband. Lets just say my aunt become wealthy overnight due to tragic circumstances. And well not to put anyone down. But if anything it’s a plus because if you’re alive your family does well. And if you pass away, most companies make sure your family is taken care of. Offering 1M dollar insurance benefits to say the least.
I've been saying for years, that instead of a standard minimum wage, workers should be paid according to the job requirements. The more job requirements the more they must pay. That would be fair.
The most important thing you left out is you have to get your CDL license to do this so you have to go to school for at least 4 weeks and it's not free unless you can get a grant you're looking at at least four to five thousand dollars for the school. Relatively cheap compared to going to college for some bullshit degree. And they need truckers everywhere.
I have never had a job ask for a copy of my diploma. Graduated in 2016. I believe just having a pulse is enough to get a job anymore. Glad I didn’t go to college
5, 12hr shifts is 60hrs per week. $40hr x 40hrs =$1600 + $60hr OT for 20 hrs per week is = $1200. $1600+$1200 = $2800 per week x 52 weeks = $145,600. + safety bonuses. It’s not rocket science.

Depends on the felony - stipulation in every state but Texas is getting hazmat enforcement clearance from TSA and if you’re like myself Fuel hauler for railroad you’ll need there clearance as well

Trades, and jobs like that, not only pay well, they are highly respectable when performed with meticulous attention to the work and safety. Folks out there without a formal education, read this closely. Being a professional is not about having a college degree. It is about your attitude, your integrity, seriousness about doing the job well, actively seeking to learn more about the work you do, and never compromising established principles for greater profit. Men hunger for that kind of situation because there is no guilt, but great pride, and we sleep very well knowing we've performed the job at least to expectations, and even beyond.
In the USA you will be drug tested for any driving job however. So no smoking weed. Some companies tried to pull that BS up here in Canada but we got rid of it.
A lot of blue collar work is like that. Want the 6 figs? put in 60-80 hours a week. A lot of companies do that though to because they think putting all that work in will get their projects done faster.

First of all, I was making a joke about how fast he responded to the question if felons get hired. Second, it totally depends on when the felony happened.

He forgot to mention that DOT and FMCSA requirements is to do a background and fingerprint to get your hazmat endorsements but don't require for tanker endorsements
But you need your hazards materials endorsement to pull a fuel tanker 🤦🏼♂️
@@gold-blooded You can haul a lot of things with tanks. Some of that non haz stuff pays just as well too.
@@UTubeJunky yup. I drive for Fedex Freight and we have to have all of our endorsements.
@@gold-blooded I've always heard that FedEx freight drivers are all contractors and not company employees. Is that true?
Makes sense that you have to have all of your endorsements for FedEx Freight, because you have to have a tanker endorsement to haul even just 500 gallons of any liquid in a liquid tote container (The gallons might be different). Same with hazardous materials like small Coleman camping sized propane canisters. Even if it is just one box in a trailer full of other non hazardous camping supplies, a hazardous endorsement may still be required to haul that one box of propane canisters.
As a former truck driver. This is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world . If you have an “accident” BOOM you’re dead. If someone runs into the back of your truck BOOM you’re dead. If someone runs a red light and hits you BOOM you’re dead . Everyday you climb in that truck carrying fuel you’ll say your prayers and call your loved ones to tell them you love them if anything happens . It pays that well for a reason .

He must work 7 days straight. My wife makes 40 an hour and works 8 to 5 and yearly income is about 83 grand.
You’re making 60 an hour for twenty hours a week and my company pays 10k in bonuses every year plus the 100% 401k match up to 8%.
He answered that felon question quick aab
That's. Bullshit. They would never hire a felon unless they trained him for 10 years would you want a convicted felon driving a bomb around your city I don't think so
5 working days a week X 14hrs. per day X 52 weeks/yr.= 3,640 hrs/yr. $150,000.00 Annual income / 3,640 hrs/yr = $41.21 per hour. Great Job.
If you consider holiday pay, quarterly or annual bonuses plus 60 plus hrs. Yes, this man is being truthful.
Yes. It's the OT that drives up the wages for the UPS guys. It's the same thing with law enforcement. They clock in a lot of OT. A six figure income is easy to reach. Some cops in San Francisco will make $250k and more a year. I imagine it's the same thing in other big cities.
That’s 100% correct. Not counting 401k match
This is not for everybody
You have to be BUILT for this type of work!
You have to be ok with not seeing your family

You can work 12 hr shifts because it’s easy work driving a truck and sticking a hose in a hole, do 12 hrs 5 days a week running a high speed buffer and wet sander and you’d quit in a week
Much, much MUCH, respect for the tanker truckers that transport the most dangerous and volatile freight, which is combustible fuel. More power to them!
7 years Otr last 10 years hauling fuel. 5 days a week. Working days. My guarantee is $1750 as long as I work 5 days. I typically do 2100(gross) a week.
Local means no commute which is a win in anyone’s book
This is why truckers literally burn out, I did. You work all night then go home and sleep, then back to work. On the weekends your significant other wants to do something, anything since you have been gone all week. You flip your schedule as I did and get maybe 4hrs of sleep then go ride or drive, enjoy nice meals and music. Sleep hard that night and the next day do it all over again. Sunday night you have to stay up all night to flip your schedule back again. You arrive at work Monday night DEAD, and do it all over again. I was making $50hr. Your body just can't keep doing this over time, trust me.

Ey foo an uncle of mine did that for 12 years. He passed away behind the wheel company paid well too around 80k per year in 1990. That was good money back then. I’m only sharing this because he was my blood aunt’s husband. Lets just say my aunt become wealthy overnight due to tragic circumstances. And well not to put anyone down. But if anything it’s a plus because if you’re alive your family does well. And if you pass away, most companies make sure your family is taken care of. Offering 1M dollar insurance benefits to say the least.
Who uses the word foo these days?😂only southern cholos use that idiotic word
Even if you die in an accident and it's your fault, like falling asleep behind the wheel?
I've been saying for years, that instead of a standard minimum wage, workers should be paid according to the job requirements. The more job requirements the more they must pay. That would be fair.
Trucker= never home, always driving, 15 hr days, 😂😂😂😂 im good.
It’s good if you want to stay away from the wife and kids 😂
If you don’t risk, you don’t succeed! 😉
Well considering you can’t legally drive 15 hours a day and 95% of fuel haulers are home every day. I would do a little more research before I speak.
They must have changed the rules. In my state fuel haulers need a security clearance for this trade.

$150,000.00/ yr in California is not a lot of money.
Trades, and jobs like that, not only pay well, they are highly respectable when performed with meticulous attention to the work and safety. Folks out there without a formal education, read this closely.
Being a professional is not about having a college degree. It is about your attitude, your integrity, seriousness about doing the job well, actively seeking to learn more about the work you do, and never compromising established principles for greater profit. Men hunger for that kind of situation because there is no guilt, but great pride, and we sleep very well knowing we've performed the job at least to expectations, and even beyond.
