    Does anyone have any experience as an owner op with KAG? I read some good things, but I'd like more info. If I make the jump to O/O I want to specialize. Already have tanker and hazmat endorsements. They claim to have short hauls or OTR runs.

    If there's any better tanker company than KAG please let me know. Schneider Bulk is an option. DANA requires 2 years experience plus 1 year hazmat tanker so that's out for now.

    Thanks.

    You’ll starve to death at sni bulk……

    kag blows too. You’ll work plenty and the rates will be very low ……

    Find some regional bulk hauling outfits in your home area and go from there.

    Coal city Cobb.

    Why would tank rates be immune to the current truckpocalyspe?

    I don't know the current tanker rates. Still exploring my options. I figure people will always need fuel and there aren't as many third worlders hauling hazmat tankers for pennies. Or are there?

    I'm currently in the desert wasteland of west Texas. But I am willing to move to where the money is. Looks like Houston is the capitol of tanker trucking in America. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I'm starving now. Taking home about $993 per week as a company driver. Home nightly and weekends off which is nice but I'm ready to run hard for more money.

    There's nothing better in the oil field? A grand week isn't horrid if the hours are short.

    Which town are you in?


    Yes H Town is the chemical capital of the world. I 10 going to Nola is good to. Texas border to NOLA is good. Up and down the Mississippi River is good.

    Chicago and new Jersey make a fair amount of chemicals too. The tanker forum would be a good spot to post in.
