Hauling fuel pilot flying J

PFJ seems like a pretty good gig. I assume like Love’s, it largely depends on location and your direct driver manager.

 

Last I heard they are a lot like Sheetz with a pretty decent waiting list to get hired on for around me.

They are always hiring in the Houston area. Thats not a good sign to me. And at one point they payed less than Gemini(Loves). But offered higher bonuses than Gemini. A former coworker said its a eazy job. But his manager made things hard. And ppl were always quitting.

If you can deal with the slip seating. Go for it, not sure what area your in. But it has to be better than the Houston area thats always hiring.

 

I guess that's the reasoning behind driving 50 MPH on 610 @ 2am with no traffic?

 

The hourly fuel hauler positions are feast or famine. When it’s slow they milk the clock like crazy to get hours. Don’t assume you’ll automatically be getting 60 hours a week. From what I see they waste as much time as they can get away with (corporate watches their times closely).

 

If you’re working then you understand how I know. We all interact and talk. When you have Love, Circle K, Pilot and other hourly drivers saying “Hey you go first” at the rack because they want to milk the clock, or even you see them driving 50mph when the speed limit is 70mph, or even you see them parked at rest areas it’s because they’re padding their hours.

As others have said, it’s all going to be based on location. Your terminal/location makes a big difference. Just a side note, you’re new. This is the honeymoon phase. Your loads will change in a few months (and so will your treatment).
