you prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last couple of days :)
Yeap I used to work in a warehouse and they Milk me for every minute of my life,every restrom brake or lunch break had to be approved by the supervisor,hated it I quit to become a class B driver.
I have my class a CDL A & was tired of being away from home and got an opportunity driving a small one axle dump truck 40 hours a week taking home more than I did otr.
@@B.Edge111No Problem!! It's good to call their distributors and see if they have some recruiters. Some companies might actually take that chance on you. But it's a numbers game and selling yourself. Sprinter vans , cargo van companies may work for you also and are NOT cdl required and NOT DOT restricted on how much you want to drive little secret. So many routes in this world.
I’ve been a fleet refueler for a little under a year now. Some things to take from this video is that it really is a good gig. However it isn’t as easy as he makes it seem. Dragging 200ft hoses and delivering an average of 9,000 gallons a night 70 hours a week is mentally and physically exhausting. On the bright side, like he said I’m home every night and working this job has helped me pay for my first home on my own. I have talked to a few other guys and the lowest paid guy made 84k last year. It’s not a popular career but it’s a great one.
Hi Taylor, ty for the details here. I'm currently pulling the hose for 17.75/hr. Can you please tell me where I need to apply to make a little better money? Ty
Just got my CDL-A with all endorsements about two weeks ago. After many interviews and many offers, I was given the opportunity to drive one of these as a new CDL driver. The company likes what I am about and willing to take the risk with me and pay more for the insurance to get me onboard. I start next week. Love this channel! Thanks for the video.
Please let me know how much you make while driving a class B with hazmat. I too and thinking about driving a class B and getting hazmat and tanker endorsements. I'm just wondering will I make more money? If anybody knows, please comment
@@a87nomsirrah35 they're starting me off at 27/hour. Plus $50/month to use my phone or use a company phone. Also I'll be working about 10 hours a day so the overtime helps. I get monthly safety bonuses and they're reimbursing me on CDL school after 1 year of employment. Hope this helps.
@@a87nomsirrah35 Yes 5 days a week. With the option of working 6 days. Today was my first day. Still in training and while I was on a route with my trainer, I told him what I was aiming to make in a year....... he laughed and said Id make more than that. I took this position looking to make at least $70k/year. That's with about 10 hours of overtime each week. He also said that the company doesnt care about overtime and I can take stops from another drivers to get more hours as long as I get the job done. I think I landed a pretty good job as my first CDL job. Let me know if you have any other questions. Also check back with me in a few months for an update.
This is what is great about trucking. You see that smile on his face? This man found what he likes, and feels he is compensated well. it’s easy to knock out a 3-5k check to the bank weekly, once you own your own truck, but as a company man, I would assume local is the way to go.
How many hours/week was that?--Did you get paid hourly? Most ppl I know hitting $100k+/yr really are working 2 full time jobs...just working all the time.
@@michaelsmith5463 it was hourly. 10-14 hours a day. Overtime after 9 hours. Double time after 12. And if you chose to work a 5th day we got overtime all day long.
@@MB-bd8zi Would you recommend going into something like hydrovac cdl operator? I used to work industrial construction but got my cdl after a long layoff, been flatbedding since but I do miss those hourly pay jobs bc you’re paid regardless of truck trouble. Hydrovac recently came onto my lap and idk if I should consider that
I love his last words, I drive the largest class c truck. I have been for a total of 4 years. I’ve always wanted to get my class b. This has inspired be the go for it
26 years old currently during security looking for a career change. And driving interest me. I'm glad I watched this video the guy gave a honest opinion and outlook on his career choices and what he wanted
@@primereactzgaming5289 I currently just got hired with a ready mix company a couple days ago and they offered me paid training class b. The job will be 12hrs a day 6 days a week starting at $25hr out here in Los Angeles. Coming from 10 years of security to the trucking side so yes getting your class b is worth it brother.
To Prime Reacts Gaming. Having a Class B CDL with passenger school bus and airbrake endorsements can be just as profitable as having a Class A CDL in the right situation. Plus you don’t have to go over the road and school systems will pay for your training. You don’t have to worry about going into and dealing as much with the DOT like OTR truckers do. Either way is a good move.
This guy must be new...lol check back with him in five ten years. I like his attitude, I would hire him to haul fuel for me delivering to gas stations.
so happy for this man, he is mutha truckin' and getting that family time. you can tell he knows his rig and his work well. i can relate to him in how im always thinking of how i can do "it" myself. whatever that may be. mad respect and props my hat's off to ALL TRUCKERS. #truckersunite
I’m a motor coach operator and I have a class B license. If you’re good with people you’ll make more money than many class A drivers. I took a group of people to cape cod MA. I was paid 25 an hour for 5 days 12 hours each day weather I worked it or not. 40 bucks a night per dm cash for food but I ate for free and received an 860 dollar cash tip once I got back. All activities I was included in for free, hotel room free. I always say a load of people pay more than any load out there.
When I first got my class A from having a Class B and getting my Hazmat and mostly all my endorsements the first hazardous company I worked for had a few 2500 Bobtail tanks I used to love driving those trucks!
Got a buddy working at Sun Coast resources in Dallas area. They’re hiring Class A drivers at $34 an hr with mandatory OT. 12 hour shift mon-fri. That’s a $100k job easily
Hey I am currently 20 years old around Houston, been looking for a local job but no one hires me because of insurance etc.. where would you recommend me to apply or start. Thank you.
@@bryanlerma9633 hey try Liberty tire recycle it’s local home daily they took me in with 1 month of experience if you don’t mind slanging tires in a 53ft dry van and getting into super tight spots
I got a Class A and work a job that you only need a Class B for. City government 40hrs a week. 38/hr w benefits and pension. Seasonal to start but I just bought my own rig.
Yup I lucked out with a great paying job 9 days after I got my license with a local irrigation company I work 9 hour days and never over two hours away only in truck 70% of the time too get to be off during my luck and pick my kids up from school I'm so so close to home it's great
Only thing that sucks about this job is, you're dealing with the weather. Nothing like pouring rain falling on you all day long, or freezing temperatures
I’m with FedEx right now and they have a strict protocol on their drivers program and how many hours of training you need to fulfill for you to move forward with them. I’m about to get my license elsewhere
People with Class A undermine the Class B jobs. I've been a bus driver for almost 6 years and you'll be surprised how many truck drivers go to Transit/charter companies because of the laid-back environment or at least the fact you get to go back home every night.
Yup, former OTR. Went Class B local. Make more. And I have noticed that the second you aren't OTR anymore... You're outta the club. But I can't really be mad, because I was like that too 🤦🏻♂️ I was like either you're in it or you aren't. I realize now that was dumb, because locals know where all the secret parking is😆
@@messaoudyoucef9558 probably not as much as truckers would make but it is definitely not too low either depending on which company you apply for. There are some class B jobs that would top at $33 an hour right now as we speak. I live in California so I see some of these pay wages to be factual.
Depends on who you work for. Most bus drivers gave a split shift & are up about 15 hours a day like I was! It sucked! There’s no heavy lifting but unless you have seniority, they’re gonna start you with shitty routes!
Yeah I like this video. I graduated from trucking school July of 2021. Started with foodservice, switched to convenience store deliveries, now I'll be working for a local fuel delivery company with a higher starting pay. I'm so glad I got thr necessary endorsements. Definitely looking forward to the experience.
I believe it! Current CDL B driver with passenger and school bus, I've worked exactly that, Greyhound, Republic Services, and I'm currently doing a lease to own for my own little straight truck doing expedite Freight. I still intend on getting the class A, but that's not likely to happen until after my lease is up on here, within a year from now.:-)
@@bigrelly2001 Yep, full class B (with auto restriction unless you got lucky and got tested on a manual bus), and NO contract, I stayed for four months and went to Greyhound. Want to get into a truck so I plan on tacking on my tanker and Hazmat endorsments.
I remember back in the old days when I used to haul fuel for big excavating company. they would send me out to spray the big pile of brush down with fuel and I get to light it. The boss would get 😠 pissed when he could see the smoke from the other side of the state.
Well, I did a little digging and located the company on the East coast where Cody works at, I won't post it because I don't want anything to happen to Cody. Asian, you need to cover up all the information on the truck...........That is where I got the information from.
I’m currently in food delivery but it’s terrible. I was driving class C hazmat tankers before I got My class A and I loved it. Fresh out of school I jumped on any class A opportunities I could get. So I took food delivery. It’s absolutely terrible. We get paid good buys it’s hard work. I’m currently looking to drive hazmat agian
Crazy cuz I passed my class B test today! I was originally going to food service class A, but changed my mind last min 😂. I thank god I did my research! (Class B Hazmat) IS THE WAY!!!
I have just got cdl b added my hazmat and tanker soon I am currently looking into fueling airport planes I will give you guys a update when I start working
Fueling airplanes sounds like that money. Let me know how it works. I just got a job driving a fuel truck starting at $25hr. And that's good for the area of Tampa FL
Here's a thought. If you have a class A CDL and drive a straight truck, it will make your class A obsolete after a while. Drove for a small company for few years in a class B truck and almost couldn't get a different job with my CDL A license because I didn't have any current trailer experience!!
@@adamhernandez1591 I just started this job 3 months ago. I make $24, $36 after 8 hours everyday, not after 40hrs. Fun job, and the company treats me well. Flexible schedule too. There are jobs that pay more, but I love this job! I drove class A and delivered fuel for the railroad for 3 years before this. Still have my class A, but this class B pays better and treats you better.
Depends on who you work for and where. I drove a tank wagon like this for 2 years at the time made about $50,000 a year maybe $55,000. Job could be a pain in the ass. Loading from multiple suppliers at the port. Tracking all your fuel. I delivered to boats, mines, marinas, farms, etc. Sometimes was fun, most of the time I hated it. Lol I suppose working for a private construction company like this might not be too bad
Depends on where you live man I live in the Chicagoland area and I make 30/hr paid insurance through the union. I choose to only four days , but you got guys that like those 60-65 hr weeks. I find tiring and stressful.
A bit of info from a guy that knows a little about this type of work. You can take the path this dude, and find a company with their own fuel truck. They're out there. I can think of at last one local company that has their own truck for their paving equipment. However, at least if you are in an area where delivering heating fuel is a thing, you can talk to any of the local fuel companies. Odds are good they have a diesel truck in addition to oil and/or propane trucks. My employer has all three, and the diesel truck isn't a sought-after gig. Many of us prefer to drag hoses across lawns vs having to climb on equipment. But if that's your thing, a fuel company would be happy to have you. If it's not, you can always do residential/commercial bobtail work. There's money in it either way.
Probably because he work for a mega carrier. They don't pay enough. Lots of local work looking for a CDL holders that will pay just as much as OTR mega carriers or double. Sometimes 3 times more Check your local area
From the pics in the video, it looks like he did reefer for Stevens Transport and flatbed for Melton. Stevens would have paid him under $1k per week. Melton would have paid better, but not hard to beat with hourly and overtime.
Had a cousin who was making about $240,000 before taxes with a straight no CDL. There are jobs like that but they are EXTREMELY rare and you need to know somebody otherwise you literally would never hear of them. He had 2 good years then the 2008 economic crisis came job was tied to construction so it pretty much stopped and when it came back didn’t paid the same.
I have my class A and I had a job driving tank wagon fuel truck. I was happy doing it. Then we moved and I had to find something else. Just can't find something I like as much as the last job I had. I would do anything to get back to it
I have watched this video a few times. This is a good way to be in truck driving. Over the road stuff you have to be gone a lot. You have to deal with trailers and don’t make as much as this work. Propane or fuel delivery is so nice.
Sort of as a tanker but class b. Wow but dangerous job but that’s why they pay good because of the danger you put your life in daily. God forbid one explosion and a tanker driver is done but stay positive instead. GOD bless and stay safe.
Hi 👋 I am from New York and I am moving to texas tomorrow I had class A CDL WITH TANKER AND DOUBLE ENDORSEMENTS NO EXPERIENCES YET BUT IF YOU CAN GIVE ME A HAND I WILL APRECIATE
@@sanddycastillo4578 well jobs that will hire without experience are food service trucking or beverage trucking. Or some fuel truck companies will hire as well. And a lot of class b jobs will hire. I worked for Martin Marietta ready mix. It’s class b. I was making 75k annually. But be ready to put in 70hrs a week.
@@sanddycastillo4578 CDL Licenses do not transfer from State to State. If you move, you will have to transfer your Commercial Driver's License to the new state and turn in the old CDL.
@@johnquinnii1448 Utah SLC, Geneva and there are a few other ready mix companies in the SLC region. This state is growing fast, start time is sometimes 2am other times 7am work 10/12 hrs no more that 70hr a week with DOT regulations pay depends on a few factors but start Pay is 23$ and top is 29
Yeahhh you might make that much but I’m sure a lot of that is over time I worked at a ready mix place before you have no set schedule your basically at work almost every day all day don’t leave out that 🧐
My first job out of cdl school $20 hr hell no I would never go back to that class a is work but it's easier then fueling all day you work in the weather heat 100* weather, rain you clothes get soaked 😑 I don't miss it
i have a class a but drive straight box truck all over new england delivering Plants and i love it. less to worry about. great pay. and i get to see alot of new england ive never seen before. not saying class A is bad. well in New England it kinda is. home every night. thats more worth it then crazy pay.
Word to the wise get all the working schedule and working conditions. Working night time shift work will wear on your health over time seriously! You can make alot of money working up to the legal limit but can burn out.
I have my cdl b and i might go get ny class a i loved when i drove schoolbus, i also drove a septic truck but now im in construction for houses but i want to get back into driving trucks
That’s all true I do Fuel in the winter and construction work in the summer both class B either the tri axle or bobtail make close if not a 100k my struggle now is I just got my class A and I would actually take a pay cut because I’m green
When I drove class a for a bunch of companies was working per mile. Then went to another company and get paid by the day and to unload the trailer. But however with class b I’m making more money working hourly than driving class a otr and it feels good to be home every nite.
so there’s no overnight layover travel trying to fuel construction sites? oh wait it’s a private family operation nevermind. Definitely a niche job position.

@@bigrelly2001 Yep, full class B (with auto restriction unless you got lucky and got tested on a manual bus), and NO contract, I stayed for four months and went to Greyhound. Want to get into a truck so I plan on tacking on my tanker and Hazmat endorsments.
I remember back in the old days when I used to haul fuel for big excavating company. they would send me out to spray the big pile of brush down with fuel and I get to light it. The boss would get 😠 pissed when he could see the smoke from the other side of the state.
Well, I did a little digging and located the company on the East coast where Cody works at, I won't post it because I don't want anything to happen to Cody. Asian, you need to cover up all the information on the truck...........That is where I got the information from.
I’m currently in food delivery but it’s terrible. I was driving class C hazmat tankers before I got My class A and I loved it. Fresh out of school I jumped on any class A opportunities I could get. So I took food delivery. It’s absolutely terrible. We get paid good buys it’s hard work. I’m currently looking to drive hazmat agian
Crazy cuz I passed my class B test today! I was originally going to food service class A, but changed my mind last min 😂. I thank god I did my research! (Class B Hazmat) IS THE WAY!!!
I believe you cause, I have my A and I went to b driving cause A was not paying me shit! I make more now in a week
How much if you don’t me asking? Right now I have my cdl A permit with all three endorsements, double, tanker and hazmat
Looks almost like the fueler truck we have in the army
What a nice guy , i loved this video a lot !
Maybe in your area but not where I’m from class A is like gold here I make 30 hr about to get a raise also .
Where in NYC ?

Same here.✌🏾

Powerful and very true ending going over the road is a journey and opportunity to learn about yourself. Dreams love it 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I know guys making 75 and 80 a year class B. Roll off , concrete mixers , front load drivers
Yup it's out there...
Depends the company we’re u work some are great pay in cal u can make 65k to 80k a year it’s a great job I love it
I have just got cdl b added my hazmat and tanker soon I am currently looking into fueling airport planes I will give you guys a update when I start working
Fueling airplanes sounds like that money. Let me know how it works. I just got a job driving a fuel truck starting at $25hr. And that's good for the area of Tampa FL
I start a 26 it could be a lot more
@@jonafreitas8754are you still working there ? Do you enjoy it ?
Mega shippers rip you off Small companies is where the money is!
Here's a thought.
If you have a class A CDL and drive a straight truck, it will make your class A obsolete after a while.
Drove for a small company for few years in a class B truck and almost couldn't get a different job with my CDL A license because I didn't have any current trailer experience!!
That’s why u network get to know owner ops and use there company as reference
I guess it depends on where you live, I did this exact job for 2 years for $15 an hour. I made way more OTR.
I think this guy is not telling the truth about pay. I did exactly same job as well I got paid 18 hour. It's ok money but not great
@@adamhernandez1591 I just started this job 3 months ago. I make $24, $36 after 8 hours everyday, not after 40hrs. Fun job, and the company treats me well. Flexible schedule too. There are jobs that pay more, but I love this job! I drove class A and delivered fuel for the railroad for 3 years before this. Still have my class A, but this class B pays better and treats you better.
@@universalenergy2311 Depends where you live. That's great to hear. Sounds like they pay well

What does that mean
@@LizardMane meaning it’s a placard that hazmat drivers haul.
Well this was insightful, learning something new everyday.
I absolutely love your videos! Keep up the great work and stay safe
Depends on who you work for and where. I drove a tank wagon like this for 2 years at the time made about $50,000 a year maybe $55,000. Job could be a pain in the ass. Loading from multiple suppliers at the port. Tracking all your fuel. I delivered to boats, mines, marinas, farms, etc. Sometimes was fun, most of the time I hated it. Lol I suppose working for a private construction company like this might not be too bad
Depends on where you live man I live in the Chicagoland area and I make 30/hr paid insurance through the union. I choose to only four days , but you got guys that like those 60-65 hr weeks. I find tiring and stressful.
A bit of info from a guy that knows a little about this type of work.
You can take the path this dude, and find a company with their own fuel truck. They're out there. I can think of at last one local company that has their own truck for their paving equipment. However, at least if you are in an area where delivering heating fuel is a thing, you can talk to any of the local fuel companies. Odds are good they have a diesel truck in addition to oil and/or propane trucks. My employer has all three, and the diesel truck isn't a sought-after gig. Many of us prefer to drag hoses across lawns vs having to climb on equipment. But if that's your thing, a fuel company would be happy to have you. If it's not, you can always do residential/commercial bobtail work. There's money in it either way.
are you a propane delivery driver ?
@@mmmmmMuffinz I currently drive LP. I've driven oil in the past, but I prefer LP. I avoid diesel.
Probably because he work for a mega carrier. They don't pay enough.
Lots of local work looking for a CDL holders that will pay just as much as OTR mega carriers or double. Sometimes 3 times more
Check your local area
From the pics in the video, it looks like he did reefer for Stevens Transport and flatbed for Melton. Stevens would have paid him under $1k per week. Melton would have paid better, but not hard to beat with hourly and overtime.
what website do you look to find local work for a CDL holder?

God bless that guy for real.
Had a cousin who was making about $240,000 before taxes with a straight no CDL. There are jobs like that but they are EXTREMELY rare and you need to know somebody otherwise you literally would never hear of them. He had 2 good years then the 2008 economic crisis came job was tied to construction so it pretty much stopped and when it came back didn’t paid the same.
How many hours/week do you think he was working?--80?--100??
I have my class A and I had a job driving tank wagon fuel truck. I was happy doing it. Then we moved and I had to find something else. Just can't find something I like as much as the last job I had. I would do anything to get back to it
This is hazmat. So yeah he’s making money
Here they don't pay sh*t for hazmat.
In the DC metro area they don't pay more than 25/hr for hazmat🤦🏾♂️
Lol
Wethose fueling sucks I did it for 3 years. But it does pay the bills and is a great workout
Mom got him in
I have watched this video a few times. This is a good way to be in truck driving. Over the road stuff you have to be gone a lot. You have to deal with trailers and don’t make as much as this work. Propane or fuel delivery is so nice.
Good to know! Thank you for sharing.
I only read the title, haven’t watch the video yet but it’s true I made more money in the class b fuel truck then I do now in the class A
Alex!!! Hope you and Jena!!! Have a great weekend
I make 160,000 a year with a class B driving for Poland Spring. Commission lol. If you know what you’re doing you can get busy with a Class B
it's who you know not what you know to get a job now a days
Sort of as a tanker but class b. Wow but dangerous job but that’s why they pay good because of the danger you put your life in daily. God forbid one explosion and a tanker driver is done but stay positive instead. GOD bless and stay safe.
I understand what you think, but someone has to deliver that fuel at the pump otherwise no one would be able to put gas in their car.
A lot of military fuelers end up doing this when they get out. Great job!
this what I’m trying to do after I get out fuck all this military crap haha
@@kooljc7 you find anything yet?
Class A is like Platinum in Texas u wnt get far with that class B out here buddy
But facts bro. So many trucking jobs out here in DFW
Hi 👋 I am from New York and I am moving to texas tomorrow I had class A CDL WITH TANKER AND DOUBLE ENDORSEMENTS NO EXPERIENCES YET BUT IF YOU CAN GIVE ME A HAND I WILL APRECIATE
@@sanddycastillo4578 well jobs that will hire without experience are food service trucking or beverage trucking. Or some fuel truck companies will hire as well.
And a lot of class b jobs will hire. I worked for Martin Marietta ready mix. It’s class b. I was making 75k annually. But be ready to put in 70hrs a week.
@@sanddycastillo4578 CDL Licenses do not transfer from State to State. If you move, you will have to transfer your Commercial Driver's License to the new state and turn in the old CDL.
@@sanddycastillo4578 leave the progressive socialist mindset in NY
It really depends.
CDL B license holder drivers make as much as CDL driver.
Why?
CDL B license holders, works overtime like crazy.
You need to look into questioning a ready mix driver.
I made 85k last year driving ready mix truck.
What state and city? Name of company? If you don't mind educating us. How much hourly and have many hours worked weekly? Weekends?
@@johnquinnii1448 Utah SLC, Geneva and there are a few other ready mix companies in the SLC region. This state is growing fast, start time is sometimes 2am other times 7am work 10/12 hrs no more that 70hr a week with DOT regulations pay depends on a few factors but start Pay is 23$ and top is 29
Weekly pay and OT is most likely going to happen.
There is not of lack of money in CDL work just a lack of people wanting to go after if.
It’s a good vocation that I’ll always stay in.
Yeahhh you might make that much but I’m sure a lot of that is over time I worked at a ready mix place before you have no set schedule your basically at work almost every day all day don’t leave out that 🧐
Man I used to do that , not worth the work you breath in diesel fumes all day I used to do reefers and tractors all day and it's dangerous
My first job out of cdl school $20 hr hell no I would never go back to that class a is work but it's easier then fueling all day you work in the weather heat 100* weather, rain you clothes get soaked 😑 I don't miss it
Truth

Alex can you pls interview an independent Dump Truck O/O?
Word to the wise get all the working schedule and working conditions. Working night time shift work will wear on your health over time seriously! You can make alot of money working up to the legal limit but can burn out.
Great interview helps alot bro
Well done.
Bull's eye for Class B.
I have my cdl b and i might go get ny class a i loved when i drove schoolbus, i also drove a septic truck but now im in construction for houses but i want to get back into driving trucks
That’s all true I do Fuel in the winter and construction work in the summer both class B either the tri axle or bobtail make close if not a 100k my struggle now is I just got my class A and I would actually take a pay cut because I’m green
