    Looking at trying to get into the fuel industry just trying to do more research on companies. I would like to know more about them and if anybody has work for one of the two companies mentioned above.

    I assume you’re in Portland??? They’re both good. I’d personally go with Sentinel over Alpha. I’d also go with Superior or Jackson.

    Sentinel is at $40/hr, I think, with benefits and retirement. Alpha is load pay from what I remember, but I could be wrong. Their equipment was nice looking and drivers seemed happy. I’d suggest looking at Superior and Jackson too.

    Well I did put a application in for superior and sentinel but haven't received a call back from neither sentinel told me they would send my application to the terminal manager but hasn't got back to me.. also I did see a company called big rig trucking they haul fuel and drive nice Pete's but I'm not sure if I should just call them. I put a quick apply application for them also but no call back. What do you suggest should I start checking up and bug them a little?

    Big Rigs is out of Puyallup. They run a lot of ethanol down to Shell Portland and other racks. They run some really nice equipment, and then some fairly rough equipment

    I’m not sure. I’m out of Portland but ran out of Tacoma for a couple weeks for the company I work for and saw Big Rigs at NuStar Tacoma and Shell Seattle delivering ethanol. I stayed in Puyallup so I saw them a lot headed back to their yard.
