    You couldn't figure out cam-loc fittings or did they have something exotic?

    if I remember it right. It was a male to male fitting. Sometimes struggled with the ears. Realized later on just need to move the hose around

    Your trainer should have told you about that.

    Thing is. I think I saw the pay at those places. If I was actually transfered to tanker at Oakley. I can make much more money. When I originally was going tanker my pay was .65 cpm. If hauled hazmat it's a extra .05 cpm. Which it also sounded like I might of gotten Canadian runs. So as a example if I gotten a hazmat load out of Florida. That was heading to Canada. Would of earned a lot. Also hazmat loads was customer unload. Because those places don't want their secrets getting out.

    Should note. Those Nestle tankers I said about. Are very old at least 10+ years. Was told agro or something exempt. Clearly was originally for something else. Even though another driver claimed they only hauled water PXL_20240406_151139706.jpg

    It's what I was told. Because I mentioned how the inspection sticker on the trailer was years old. Technically was overweight when I ran it. But that's because of routing. Both pickup and delivery had no weight stations. Actually delivery location was a exit just before one

    Currently I'm either going to wait it out at Oakley. Or maybe give Prime a shot. Because I don't think their tanker is that bad? Then again I'm unsure about someone like me who has been driving for years. Going to a mega like them

    Prime is apparently going through some not so good changes . I can't confirm but apparently they are getting driver facing cameras and hoping enough drivers will quit while they downsize their fleet . That's just the local buzz id dig deeper if you really want answers.
