Everything You Need to Know About Tanker Truck Driving Jobs

Tanker Truck Driving Jobs, both as a company driver and as an owner operator, pay very well in the trucking industry.
It is a specialized niche in trucking, with a premium mileage pay rate and pay package.
One of the best things about tanker driving jobs, is that the company usually pays the driver for everything they do.... the way it should be for ALL TRUCK DRIVING JOBS!
Mileage pay, extra pay for high traffic areas, fuel surcharge, extra pay for trips under 500 miles, waiting time pay, loading and unloading hourly pay, layover pay and safety bonus.
I've personally hauled gasoline and other petro product tankers as well as chemical tankers. Both of these jobs paid much better than the average truck driving job.
However, tanker work does come with some downsides. Driver liability is great. If the driver messes up, personal liability could be an issue.
A mistake doing this type of work can be deadly. Working with toxic and caustic chemicals and explosive products is very dangerous. There is no room for careless mistakes.
So if you want to make as much money as you're able as a truck driver, learn as much as you can about tanker work in the trucking industry. It may be something that interests you.

I watched this video after accepting a fuel tanker job 6 months ago. Hourly pay, home every night. 14hr days, but OT kicks in after 40hrs. Much better than retail! And a lot easier than most trucking jobs, and I am on schedule to gross 90k this year.

The last 30 years of my driving career were with Air Products in the UK loading and delivering Cryogenic liquids with 6 axle rigs,running at 44 tonnes, and I can say it was the best job I have ever had, the pay was good, got treated with respect, decent equipment, Air Products as a company were probably one of the best companies to work for and I worked until I was 74.

Sit down with someone that knows and have them teach you everything. If u r caught with any missing/expired/mislabeled papers or permits you'll pay a mortgage of fines.

I LOVE hauling fuel! Excellent pay, and benefits! Been in it for 15 years, and wouldn't do anything else. The smaller independent companies pay better from my experience. Make sure to do plenty of research into all companies that peak your interest. Also, starting out with a larger company isn't bad, just expect to be paid less....but their training is usually second to none. So, if you can handle long days, fuel hauling may be worth trying out! Very rewarding, and home daily!

I hauled milk. Replete with a lot of unpaid delays and with the company I worked for , they were very wesily on pay. It wasn't too bad when things went well, but when things went a little off, the milk still had to roll. If it is in the tank too long, the load can be rejected. I agree with your point about the kinetic hazards. One driver doing multiple farm pickup had about a half full tank and while going 25 MPH swerved to avoid hitting a dog and rolled the truck. You really need to respect the physics. The upside is you develop a relationship with both the farmer and the creameries.

@rockymntnliberty 6 жыл бұрын

One area of tanker driving you really didn't cover is vac trucks. Vac trucks carry water, oil, condensate, or other chemicals. They're loaded and unloaded using a vacuum pump kind of like on a vacuum cleaner super-sized. These are frequently a tanker pulled by a semi, but sometimes are a straight frame truck with tank which can pull a pup. These are primarily used in the oil and gas fields and are usually jobs that pay by the hour. For all your truckers out there imagine getting paid for every minute while you're waiting somewhere. Whether you're waiting to get fuel or waiting to load or unload or just waiting because of a scheduling glitch, you're getting paid by the hour. Pretty easy to make 80 to $100,000 a year in these types of jobs, but you're putting in a lot of hours to do that. Another big advantage on these jobs is the freedom and the Wide Open Spaces. You're generally going out in the middle of nowhere loading then going someplace not quite in the middle of nowhere and unloading with very little interaction with bosses or customers.

I worked in the oil patch for a couple years and enjoyed pulling tanks. I let my hazmat go years ago and I'm too lazy to set up a new background check and get a book to study up for the test. I hauled water in the patch so I didn't need it there. I'll be honest after the short time I've been trucking I've known of a handful of terrible tanker accidents and none of the drivers got out alive. This niche of trucking is for drivers who are 100%....150% of the time. Hauling fuel is like hauling a bomb. You gotta be on your game. If you can't follow safety rules you better stay out of a tanker. Guys have blown them selves up simply by not attaching their static ground line. Great points Dave... You know your stuff! :)

Everything you said was right, My dad was driving a tanker in the snow on an icy uphill back road with no pavement under the ice (it was a muddy, rocky, gravel filled hill etc) & his tanker had sloshing, the truck tipped over the guard rail & thankfully he survived. The company is blaming him but dispatch told him he had to go. He talked with dispatch & asked them if he could stop, he told them it didn't look safe, but they forced him to continue.

@TheSpongebob1969 6 жыл бұрын

Great video, as usual. A couple of things to note: In bulk liquid tanker hauling flammables (resins, alcohols, etc) typically are pumped off with a product pump under low or no pressure. Pressuring flammables may cause combustion. Not good. Pressuring off loads with compressed air is reserved for non-flammables like caustic soda solution, ferric chloride, citric acid and the like. usually you are only working with a max of 25-30 psi. Pressurized transport tanks (propane, nitrogen, anhydrous ammonia) run 50-150 psi and use a hydraulic or pto driven pump to unload. Really have to be careful hauling pressurized as if things go wrong loading or unloading these products, bad things happen quickly with disasterous result. Pressurized pays better than liquid. Hauled anhydrous ammonia for 13 years. Pays very nicely, but not for everybody.

@FriedShrimpPoBoy 6 жыл бұрын

I’ve been a tanker yanker for 18 years. I love it. I’ll quit trucking before I pull anything else. One thing you said I disagree with and that’s having a compressor to blow off products. You don’t want to blow off flammables and combustibles with air. Only with nitrogen and that’s usually provided at the customer. I’ve got a load of flammable solvent (UN 1268) on now and I’m sure I’ll be using my pump to get it off in the morning.

Pulled pneumatic tanks hauling bulk cement. The big pain with that is if your hose gets plugged you have to beat the crap out of it with a mallet and try to shake the hose, or worse, you have disconnect the hose and empty it. Problem with that is the hose weighs a few hundred pounds when it is full up. Also pulled CO2 tanker. The problem with that stuff is that you load at 4,000 lbs. PSI; very dangerous. Also drove milk tanker, farm pick-up (seven dairies per shift). You really have to be on your game when you are at the dairy to where half the load finishes off your semi, and the second half of the load starts the fill into your trailer. If your calculations aren't perfect you will end up taking a bath in raw milk. The valve you need to turn to change the pump flow from semi to trailer is right below your dome (in a box hanging from the bottom of the tank) which is opened when you are loading. If you don't get the valve turned in time you will "dome out". Nothing stinks worse than a raw milk bath! Hauled petroleum also, but that experience would require me to write a book.

My father was a tack coat truck driver.(liquid asphalt too) Either or could've been sprayed but different temps they had to be held at. My father's truck was a Pete 379 and it had two diesel burners built into the tank with exhaust vents to heat up the tack to proper temp before he could spray it. Very dirty job and tack is extremely hard to get off you. Plus all the spray nozzles he had to unplug or replace when they'd get so caked up with tack. His truck also had a PTO pump to load and unload his truck. Very good money and benefits for the job he did but it was really dirty and can be hard work. If he was spraying a state road he made even more money than your typical back roads ect. I'm currently pursuing getting my CDL just trying to figure out exactly what type of trucking I want to do. Very informative video Dave.

I haul propane and found the most important element is the human factor. We're very lucky to have a thoughtful owner, a great dispatcher who inquires if you want more days off or you're ok to go and that creates an atmosphere of friendship amongst the other drivers so everybody helps each other when we can and that relieves the stress of hauling dangerous products. What do you think Dave? P.S.: Been watching you for quite a while and enjoy your videos very much.

Hey, couldn't agree with you more about the human factor. Makes it or breaks it as to whether or not it's a good place to work. These days I'd say you're lucky to have found a place like that. I'd stat with them as long as possible. Thanks for watching and drive safe! Dave

If it helps, I always enjoyed tanker work. No money in fuel tankers anymore. The money is in food grade and chemical.
