    Before I owned my truck, I met one of Greenbelt's drivers at a shipper. They used to haul the load I was on but he said it just didn't pay that well. It was one of my best paying loads, so l never forgot that conversation. I'd like to have a conversation with them but can't find any contact info. If anyone knows anything about this company, please let me know below. Thanks

    randyhanson@unitedsuppliers.com is the email listed for the VP of Logistics for Greenbelt. They are a partner with United Suppliers, hauling primarily ag chemicals. I am leased to a small company here in Iowa hauling LP and anhydrous ammonia, and two of our O/O have gone to Greenbelt. Both say they wish they'd done it years before. Haven't talked to any of their guys as regards rates, etc.

    They almost exclusively run herbicide. It used to be someone had to die to get on there, but in the last year or two it's gotten easier. It's still best to have a referral from a current driver.

    I couldn't find anything about them other than they were hiring for a company driver position in conjunction with Land O'Lakes.

    This is interesting!

    Then someone is telling lies. They're certainly not home everyday and the money sounds a little high, but possible if you run hard. It's all manufacture to depot work I believe.
     
    whatd Thanks this.

    So I found out a little more info. I was told they mostly run Syngenta herbicide. Trailers are self contained with pumps & meters and he thought they hydraulic. Most guys stay out a week or two and they do both depot deliveries, FS deliveries as well as larger farms. No idea on the pay, but they're paid well since herbicide usually pays good. And as far as hiring on, good luck.
     
    whatd Thanks this.

    They do seem like the kind of place that only hires top people. The rates he mentioned were about thirty percent higher than what I was getting for a similar product.
    Selectivity is definitely a good sign.
    I can see those rates but the "home everyday" part sounds too good to be true to me. I'd love to be surprised though.
    That makes sense. I met that driver while picking up a pesticide. The rates he told me were about a third more than I was getting but my load was no-touch, so that may not have been an apples-to-apples comparison.

    If they have to handle the product, that pay premium is comparable to other "kill you quick" products we haul. In that case it may be a great company but not worth jumping ship for.
