Working for coastal transport is a good company. I worked for Coastal Transport for 10 years and 4 months. I recently moved on to Gemini Motor Transport getting paid by the hour And couldnt be happier. More money for less hours. the most i ever grossed at Coastal was 77k for the year in 2019. We worked a 6 on 2 off schedule up to 70 hours. Some terminals just run a 5/2 set days off.
Yeah we run 5 and 2. I usually work every other Saturday for the extra 100 and pay. So I’ll see over 80k which isn’t bad. But by the hour is way better pay
Hi brother...just want to ask your opinion....I know when speaking of getting paid by the hour you were referring to hazmat tanker but in my area Coke pays about 26 or 27 an hour and OT after 40. Do you think this would be better than working for Costal Transport getting paid by the load. I don't mind the physical nature of the job?
Thanks for the info I do have 6 years experience in the trucking industry but I decided to start working fuel hauling and coastal is looking like the best option to start off I just moved to Houston tx from California hopefully everything works out well 💪🏼
Love your videos man, you’re probably the only fuel truck hauler who’s been pretty transparent. I’m in Corpus Christi Tx and I am looking to get hired on as a truck driver for costal
Nice to know they’re actually paying you to work your off days. I’m in Texas and was told I’d get paid for working an off day but I could only be paid if I “was asked” to work and even then I was still not paid
Nah man. Just fill out a non rev for that day and you’ll be paid. However they do reach out to me here every other Saturday and ask me if I’m going to work. If they let you work on your day off you should be paid
@@NardNews that’s awesome, congratulations! Also, thank you! I’ve been trying to get into the fuel game for awhile and even then I was really debating it. I’ve just never worked “per load” so I guess we’ll see how it goes 🤷🏻♂️
@@austinpettit4705 anytime and to be honest there’s ups and downs you have to just make the most of it all. Just think of it as getting experience for a year or so and that way nothing can really bother you
how many hours do you work for those two weeks? u said a lot of 13 hrs so let say 120 hrs for two weeks. $3253 / 120 hr= $27/hr, almost same Amazon contractor. I though fuel pay way more than that.
Some days are shorter but this is about right. You have to remember this is rookie pay with no experience. Fuel does pay way more. You just have to get the experience for those big time companies to hire you. That’s why I said “rookie pay”…
@@NardNews bro I was pulling for yrc making 2k a week with only 3 months of experience. Now I can’t really find anything close that will pay the same with limited experience.
@@usosouljah808 yeah I actually took a pay cut to get into this tanking thing. I was touching freight making 2K a week. But it’s worth it in the end because this is just starting pays you can easily get 2K weekly once you get some experience and a better company. Don’t give up bro. You’ll find something. What city and state you in?

Good luck bro! Remember that its a step back to go forward. Take the cut work 7-8 months and then find better pay!

It’s a good stepping stone bro. Do it. Not as bad as people make it seem
@@NardNews I haul crude oil right now it can’t be as dirty or as bad as the job I have now.
@@anthonyschannel8737 no where near it. Fuel smell and residue at the most. You have it way worse than me
Corpus Christi?!
That’s where I’m at. Coastal was one of my back ups. Might be better than where I’m at.
GREAT INFO!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Quick question man how does night shift work for coastal transport?
How much was the training/orientation pay
how many hours do you work for those two weeks? u said a lot of 13 hrs so let say 120 hrs for two weeks. $3253 / 120 hr= $27/hr, almost same Amazon contractor. I though fuel pay way more than that.

Are they hiring local fuel transport tanker truck driver in my area valley, Alabama 36854 .
Are you paid every week or every 2 weeks?
Every 2 weeks
I wonder what are some good companies that will hire rookies that pay hourly?
What city and state you in? Because I barely had seven months and got in with coastal
@@NardNews Houston Texas.
@@SplashWaveBeats there’s a lot of work in Texas may have to use the outside cites. You having driving experience?
Is it local or OTR?

Damn I hate bi-weekly pay
It’s literally the worse part lol… im use to weekly but I was able to get my foot into this industry so I’ll take it for now
