I am a tanker driver for Prime what would you like to know?
How you like doing food grade tanker? Average length of loads, how small are the lightweight trucks from your experience? Those are just some I can think of off the top of my head. Thank you for replying stay safe
Also this isn't just for prime tanker drivers. Anyone feel free to throw you thoughts on here
I absolutely love doing food grade tanker. I just love being a tanker driver in general and honestly would not really consider any other division of driving. As far as average length of load I usually run 2 long loads a week and one short load. The long ones being 1000+ total miles and the short ones being about 600-800. This last week I am coming off hometime so my miles were a little lower than I normally average I ended up with about 2600 last week. I am not sure on the lightweight trucks as in tanker they are only used for our lease dedicated drivers. I have a full size condo truck.
Oh sweet I was worried about the light weight I'd much rather have full size. And that's awesome miles at .49 cpm
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
Prime tanker drivers start at $0.49 per mile?
That's what the recuirter told me and their website says
I was also thinking about going tanker but you don't really see too much about it with prime
I noticed the same thing im watching a guy on YouTube right now who does tanker division in prime. I can tell you his YouTube name if you'd like. And I'm sure ice cold will pitch in more for any questions anyone has when he's avaible

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
