Excellent! I enjoy my time here, I hope things work out and you come aboard.

I wanna make those 10k a week how I started and what I need? I appreciate your information thank you

I’ll definitely try haha

Email me at safety@baughmanlogisticsllc.net I’ll send you a copy

I agree, I have some coming soon.

We don’t have one in Columbus but I mainly run out of Columbus. They could definitely lease you on if they have positions open here.

I’d contact colonial, their website drive4colonial.com should have the phone number. You can call and ask them about lease purchase and getting on with them. In my opinion Savannah is probably the best market to be in.

It’s not bad at all. Starting out it was a lot of information, different loading racks have different procedures on everything. Different products to load and what octane or grade to load. As long as you write everything down and double and triple check, you’ll be perfectly fine. You can feel the fuel love around in the trailer but it isn’t near as bad as a smooth bore since most of our trailers have compartments with baffles.

Gotcha. Thanks for responding. I live in the Chicagoland area and can’t ignore how much some of these guys are making out here.

Unfortunately I don’t, however I would suggest joining some fuel hauling Facebook groups if you can. U.S. Gas Haulers is a good group to join and you could ask in there. My experience has mainly been on the east coast.

What’s up bro, I remember you as well. I hope you’re doing well man.

Thank you! I will 😁

With my lease purchase my truck payment is $323/week. Insurance I pay annually, which is about $4500 for my bobtail insurance per year. I’m leased to a carrier and they cover insurance while my truck is working for them.

@DrtyDiesel how much were you making when you were a company driver at Colonial and why did you move to Ohio

@@norfillyson when I was company in Jacksonville, I was at $21/hour. I moved to Ohio after we bought out an oil company up here. I make more money here than in jax

@DrtyDiesel cool, thanx for answering. Was it hard to find housing

@@norfillyson yeah I lived in a hotel for a few weeks till I found a place for rent that was nice.

I don’t, and it would depend on the percentage increase. If the increase would be worth it, I would absolutely buy my own.

Most states don’t allow you to buy your own tanker

Not sure, I don’t really keep track of hours worked.

Some weeks I did, but most weeks I run about 55-60 hours

Send me an email at safety@baughmanlogisticsllc.net and I’ll send you the info

Or why not subtract your payroll from the expenses and give us that number?

That’s a good point. I pay myself $1200/week on my personal side.

Yes, I hauled fuel for 8 years before switching to owner op

I’m leased to Colonial Fuel & Lubricants Services INC out of Savannah, GA

I’m running a 3” Roper pump

@@DrtyDiesel thanks for reply

It does not.

Yeah I work local

Yeah man, colonial bought out Lykins Oil up here. I live near Wapak

It’s above industry standard for hazmat tanker

Nah, it’s actually higher than industry standard for hazmat tanker. Most hazmat tanker companies pay 65/35, and I’ve seen a a few that are 62/38.

@@DrtyDiesel I get 75/25 in chicago area. Didn’t know it was that bad elsewhere tho Jeeze!

@@BigBlu22 if you’re getting 75% and don’t have to pay insurance or trailer fees or anything like that, then that’s damn good.

Technically you’re right. It won’t be my truck until it’s paid for.

Hey Kevin, absolutely. Shoot me an email at safety@baughmanlogisticsllc.net
