I can’t believe only $22.00 per hours as a gas tanker. I know people who do easy assembly work and makes $22.00 per hours already. They need to pay all you trucker more!
Qau Loj Qau Ntev with OT they making almost 30
Great interview 💯💯💯
WE HAZMAT GASOLINE DRIVERS UNDER PAID
001 002
Sunday is double I think
shit i work for the post office making over $30/hr, $45 is OT. i think i'll stick to US Mail
Underpaid in my opinion. Twic card, hazmat class a plus experience. These tanker drivers need to earn minimum $30/hr.
Exactly
True
They do here in the Midwest they start $32 an hour at some branches.
@@SAVEMONEYYY Which ones?
Some do, but it seems like you’ll need experience for that type of pay. Like everything I guess
I watched this video 3 years ago and it inspired me to become hazmat driver. I’ve currently been driving 4 years, 2 years OTR 2 years local & making over 80k a year now home everyday & over 30$ & hour….. God is great! Thanks Asian Mai. Tanker gang!!!!
What company do you work for ?
Bro congrats, would you mind to tell what’s the company you drive for and what kind of hazmat material you deliver. thanks I’m advance ✌🏻
@@Jagado heniff guys
@@misterg5501 thank you, & heniff
i've been Pinching penneys counting my dollars and preparing to get my CDL permit, already have 4+ years of Hazmat experience just another 4 years and i'll buy a truck with cash, run my own truck for a tanker buisness, i like the idea of doing Trucking but locally in state / intra state but always at least back in my home state, or not too far from home. my prior employment though about 32,000 a year with well over 70 hours a week technically full time working. for less than 32k a year. so anything is a pay raise or an upgrade in my eyes, less hours for same pay excellent, same hours for more pay excellent.

A note on tankers, their may be times u have to wear Chemical suit . It gets hot. Chemical tankers is a great way to make money. no weigh problem, no sliding tandems, truck and tank is only 12ft 6in high. The length of the truck and trailer is way shorter than the dry van so it's easy to back up into a tight spot at a truck stop or anywhere
Daniel Garcia trueeee
Is it easier to turn ? It sounds like more pros then cons
@@Zoo3003 sometimes they have spread axle configuration so it’s different but you figure it out.

Hey Mai, how can I get in touch with you? I’d really appreciate it if you could spare a minute.
The Asian Mai Show i work for the United States postal service I make 25 in hr. Top pay $35 over the years.. is Double time after 8 hrs. each day. (federal job) I work 12 hrs everyday 6 days a week and I don’t make 80k don’t let ppl lie to you. I’ve been trucking for 20 years and amazes me how much truck drivers lie on how much they make. I make about 75k a year. With absolutely excellent benefits plus home everyday. My social life is just as important as my job is.. btw I’ve haul gasoline in a tanker truck in the past and there is no money to be make. Airgas is one of those companies I’ve been driving chemical/gasoline diesel fuel for last 12 years until I got hired with the post office. So truckers lie all the time about how much they make... go find out for yourselves I suggest. All these youtubers brag about how much they make but change jobs every 6 mo. And they start all over again with the lies.. stop pls. Including owner operators .. trucking is set up to make 40 to 80k a year depending what job and how much you work a year
Tell him thank you I am 30 about two be 21 and want two be a tanker driver
I meant 20 about two be 21 sorry
I just got my cdl A and endorsement hazmat and tanker Monday and already have a job with Hydrochem 23 a hour no experience 🤑
I have the same can you hook me up ?
Woo lucky man. I am going to starting school in 2 weeks
Looking for job, i have 2 years experience
@@DavidMunera98 how’d it turn out for you ? What are you doing now
@@nolimitjat very well brother
Us Truckers all need to be paid by the hour whether you're over the road or local. The cents per mile is ridiculous. Because you can never know what you're going to make from week to week with bad weather breakdowns traffic getting stuck at a shipper or receiver Etc
I make 80k a year with Schneider intermodal only working 4days a week and off 3 days (working out of the Rail yard all week) (North East)
I work for SYSCO food service I make 100k, union benefits and home every night
Would love to have you on the podcast! Would you be interested?? Reach out to me on Facebook/Instagram/gmail @ theasianmaishow
Hard fucking work tho
My cousin was making that $100k driving for Domino's Pizza, but he said it was really hard work!
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Fuck sysco
Putting my life on the line for 60k a year hauling extremely dangerous chemicals if I get into a crash and the tanks ruptures. The whole zone gets evacuated and I get a slew of charges also my career is over no thankyou.
You dont have to haul hazmat my guy.
The minimum wage for driving this for me would be $35 an hour.
Lol i agree
Plus you need a twic. Meaning you are clean
Once I get my 2 years experience I wouldnt take less than 35 either
There's a local fuel tanker company in my area that starts new guys off at 32! But they have no open positions or trainers atm so I have to settle for a different company
THAT’S IT !!!...... I’m quitting my current day job and getting my CDL.
Thanks for the info!! Really wanted to know if being a tanker is what I wanted to do since u can be home daily..and with OT and great pay, I'm definitely going with this Route. Thank you again for the video!..
Warren Tia no problem!. Its hard work, but you can make a pretty decent check!
Thanks a lot. Appreciate honest advice. Keep up the good work.

You can be a grocery delivery guy and make 90k. Just got to unload your truck with a two wheel dolly
Shay Earl truth
I make over 80k doing grocery delivery and work 4 Days weekends off
like Walmart delivery oldschool?
I work for Martin brower doing McDonald's and I live like a boss in Atlanta ga
I do that now, it's hard work!
That's crazy I just got hired at airgas I'm in Ohio going to Houston for orientation for 4days headed out in April Asian Mai you a good dude I needed to get in contact with that airgas guy plus the wage has went up to 26.75 a hour .52 a mile that's what I'm offered with 000 experience in tanker none wish me luck great videos Mai keep them coming
Thats sweet!!! Goodluck brother. Thanks for being a Mutha Trucker
Good luck bro. That's who I'm going with once my CDL with hazmat endorsement come in the mail.
Im not q truck driver r even a cdl holder but that's the pay that I was expecting tbh I wasnt really excited w/ the $22 hour bcuz I was expecting more like 25 r up now tbh I dont want to work 70hours a week I more so will work between 40-60a week so yeah 26.75 is great but it's a set goal that I want to reach and that's 1100 dollars for a 50hour week AFTER TAXES & I dont think that equals to 22hour.
@@kld0113 appreciates it
@@madtruckamax3341 what you run... argon/nitrogen/oxygen out of canton???
Thanks for the info studying for permit now I find trucking videos insightful for when I come into the trucking industry
Goodluck!!!!
The company is clever for making the driver work 70 hrs to make what they should be making by 40-50 hauling nasty stuff. Because $22/hr. is quite easily surpassed in OTR. It’s all about that overtime. Goes to show there are many roads to a similar financial outcome in trucking.
Red Bluesome I agree 100%
I agree it's good money but not for 70hour weeks.
My Dad has worked for airgas for 15 years class A CDL local driver. Those big flatbeds with Acetylene oxygen etc and just now makes 30 PH. Their corporate is AWFUL all over the country
They will fire a driver that has been there a decade to protect management without blinking an eye. Not to mention the endless list of arbitrary rules that they will hang over your head 24/7. He is only there because he is afraid to lose his vacation time. Run from airgas FUCKING RUN
I HEARD ABOUT THAT THERE WAS A DRIVER WHO BEEN THERE 18 YEARS THEY TRIED TO FORE FIRED HIM FOR GOING TO FAST IN THE SCHOOL ZONE
oil-field tanker drivers $36.17 to start to make over $2,200.00 a week every week!! these are the companies you don't see advertising all word of mouth! & home every day!
What company?
Maybe in the oil field lol
Hey that sounds good can you give me some information for the company you work for?.
Wow awesome
What company is this ? I'm interested in this home everyday $2200
Well I never made that kind of money OTR. Everyone says that his pay is trash. However go OTR with a mega carrier. After a few 70 hour weeks, and waiting for free! Bringing home $600or $800 a week if that. With $22 an hour for 40 hours and about $36.66 for 30 hours. That’s over $1900 a week. Yeah I would pick the “trash wage” and be home every night. better wages are out here sure. But I don’t know many trucking jobs that are only 40 hours a week. I am sure they exist, I just haven’t found one yet.
In Cali the fuel tankers will hire and train you to pull tankers as long as you have 2 years of exp pulling a van. They pay 27 and up but you will most likely be working nights, weekends, and holidays. Pac west, and KAG are 2 companies here.
Sol Ck thank you for that! Giving people the keys
KAG are scumbags...they dont pay overtime, all straight
Owner ops hiring newbies for tankers be ripping the fuck off of newbies
How much can you make if you have your own truck and leaset on to one of these companies
I used to haul gas here in Austin, TX. We were making that close to 20 years ago.Pay has gone up since as well.
That's a relief. I'm a texan as well. I'm starting an apprenticeship prpgram to gwy my cdl and my goal waa hauling fuel for about 3-5yrs.
One thing to remember is if you have some experience with trucks and trailers, you dont need to go to a mega carrier and pay thousands for a CDL. Theres plenty of one or two day CDL programs that teach you how to pass the test. Then skip OTR like I did and get on doing local tankers.
Scary thinking someone can just slide into hazmat tanker with no experience
@@blauer2551 that me. Just got hired
@@Str8Rippin93 Take things slow, you don’t always get second chances
@@blauer2551 i am. I will be EXTREMELY Cautious
@@Str8Rippin93 What part of the country?
Yeah it’s crazy how underpaid us hazmat tanker drivers are. Not to mention going OTR. You really have to set in your mind that you’ll be basically living in a truck for months in order to truly truly come up. But yet still, if you get paid more than 50k a year, your doing a lot better than more than half of Americans. Depending on your situation of course
Great video. OT is very important when applying for a hourly position. Due to the number of hours drivers typically work many companies do not pay OT. Some pay OT over 40 and the top notch companies pay over 8. There is a difference in paying over 40 and 8 obviously. If this dude is working for a modest wage of $24 an hour and getting 60 hours a week he's making nearly $90k a year. Not bad since he's home every night.
Cap'n Jack I agree 100%
Yeah, before when I was looking at a career in finance I realized the same thing. You get paid well, but you also work more than 40hrs a week. Sounded like 60hrs a week was the minimum to do well
Just a heads up, if working in Florida, anything over 10 hours in 1 day is considered overtime for that day, irregardless if you have passed 40 hours yet.
@@CrazyPalidin57 Great!
I watched this 5 years ago and was inspired to get my CDL. Now down to the exact month of this video releasing I have a interview with Airgas coming up.
75k should be the absolute minimum for haz-mat tankers. Keep in mind you have to have a federal security clearance for a job that is designated as safety-sensitive.
But it seems they dont make that
@@Str8Rippin93 Seems most of them do. Anybody who doesn't should just haul general freight.
@@jdrancho1864 hope your right. That's what im getting into. Already have all my endorsements with twic
@@Str8Rippin93 TWIC and haz-mat have value. Don't sell yourself cheap. Do your research and don't take the first job that will agree to take you on if it looks like you have to compromise.
Good luck.
@@jdrancho1864 hey thanks for the info. I have zero experience driving as im a recent grad. You think i could negotiate pay with no experience ?
The loader from air and gas at the chevron el segundo refinery made over 100k easy
🤯
I do 8-9 hour rounders every night, home every night. Doing close to 50k. Work for a small company run by a family friend.
Would love to have u on the show. Text me 786 353 5674
@@MuthaTrucker you should so a show on Working for Sysco
Anybody that works if they're making a 100k your either never home and your definitely working in a toxic , hazardous, high pressure risky and stressful environment.
True for any profession. Blue collar or not
@@FranciscoOrtizVevo Yeah, that’s how it was when I was looking for jobs in finance. White collar job, but you’re never home. You get paid well tho, not even going to lie.
If you’re the type that doesn’t mind it then you’ll get paid for doing it.
The girl I was listening to was getting paid well yearly, but when you broke it down she was never home.
You gotta be a different breed. If you want the money then it’ll be there if you’re willing to put in the hours
Don’t know about other white collar or blue collar jobs, but it definitely seems the same. Just gotta find a place that’ll allow you to work that much
Well this is what Airgas website say not 2 years like the old guy said...1 year of verifiable driving experience in the past 4 years or driving school training.
Graduation from an accredited truck driving school with diploma will count as 1 year of required experience
No preventable accidents of any kind in the last 3 years
No more than 2 minor tickets in the last 3 years
No serious violation ticket (speeding 15+, reckless driving, etc.) in the last 3 years
No suspensions of CDL in the last 3 years except for “Failure to pay child support”
No DUI in the last 7 years
Thank you for your insight
22.00 to pull hazmat is trash 😬
I’ve been working for a chemical tanker company for 6 months and I started with no tanker experience I got trained at the company but I do have 30 + years of driving experience.
If he is hauling ammonia products for Airgas, he's with Airgas Specialty Products. The pay varies per region. Chicago top scale is right at 31.00/hr with union benefits. Florida about 20-25 per hr with no union, although Airgas benefits are pretty good compared to other companies.
Appreciate you brother 🙏 new cdl holder, trying to get into schneider right now as a first company for experience
Starter tanker companies. Schneider, prime and Florida tank lines
Do you need to be a certain age to drive Tanker Trucks?
@@theopbeast4854 , you cant haul interstate or hazmat unless your'e 21 yrs old. It might be possible to haul tanker for company hauling liquid food product in local area but, first, I don't think many companies would hire 18yr old for tanker because they would have little experience and cannot go over state lines. Get experience in dry van first then you can think about transition to tanker.
22/hr is slave wage
yessir especially since minimum is $15/hr now flipping burgers
late night uploads👀
keep up the great work! 💕
Aceuuu Wings 😊😋🤗 you the best!
On the TV show "B.J. & the Bear"B.J.McKay said:"I'll haul anything/any where for a $1.50 per mile"!That was 30 years ago!I see ads for owner ops today,for that!Shipping rates need to double!
I've been driving going on 9 years and just now considered getting my endorsement smh
Great and awesome upload my friend.
She Cook's thank you😁 u too!!!!
Verrrrrrrrrry Helpful!!!
Tanker drivers with hazmat should at least make 100k 60- 80k is low pay...in foodservice you can make 80k in you sleep💤
Great info!
Keep in mind this is his area. They start you at $29 in NC
Just because you’re a tanker driver does not mean you getting paid more then any other driver in a different division
This is the best exact information I needed to know, thank you.
There's more money in LTL freight...$80k-$120k a year!with full benefits!here is the list..estes,ups,fedex,saia,old dominion..etc! As for me I work for estes
True! I'm 6 figures @ up a
Ups
YUUUUP! LTL is where the moneys at! Abf,ups,and FedEx have pensions
Would you like to be in the asian mai show?
Rick Sosa your right! USF is another good one
I want to be truck driver or a train engineer.
😇
Some good tips on this one but there are risks associated with transporting as well as working with hazmat, especially if you are sensitive to chemicals or have any respiratory condition. Schneider also hauls a lot of latex which some people are allergic to it. I would also say that if your one of those heavy foot drivers this job ain't for you because the danger from liquid surge is real and can lead to roll-overs and other accidents. Better to be more like the tortoise than the hare when it comes to tankers. The money is certainly better than many other gigs but if your career and quality of life is cut short because you were exposed to too many dangerous fumes while handling, because remember, you have to pump the stuff in and out the tank yourself, or from breathing those fumes while asleep inside the cab every night when away from home then...???? This guy seems to have a good gig though because he sleeps in his own bed at home every night and he looks like a big strong guy who can handle those pump hoses better than most.
Clean Csa score clean Mvr. Any company can hire you
Rami 😋
Thanks for you hard work...I am new in your channel..
Thanks for sharing
OK, let's all settle down now. If you work with a tanker/haz-mat CDL and you make what this guy says he's making, you don't know how to negotiate for an appropriate wage and you have nobody but yourself to blame.
Thanks for your video very helpful...
Glad it was helpful!
He didnt answer that u asked. How do we get the TANKER experience
thats what i wanna know , some companies are hiring with 1 to 2 year exp, i need a cdl first lol
Local jobs:
Food service (Refer) or beer
Lube oil
Gasoline/ Diesel
Car Hauling
If anyone can think of more please feel free to add
🔥🔥🔥🔥
How do you get tanker experience if you need experience.
Go to Schneider
22 that's weak he should be paid more
That’s good money but you don’t have a life during the week. I know because I’m a truck driver and work 14 to 16 hours a day making 20 bucks an hour as a port driver not very fun other than driving the truck and shifting downshifting etc that the best part for me.
Great insight. Thanks
Always good information
I had to buy a corvette and rent me a nice house because i have a small peter !!!!!! Lol
Ricky Harvey 😏🤣😂
Hourly is the way to go & overtime after 8 hours that’s how you make the money
I park my work truck at the 595 truckstop if u ever want to do a interview on foodservice truck drivers
That would be great!!!
The Asian Mai Show just call me whenever u down here 9548715010
I make that in the dry van division !!! Drop and hook for general motors
Ricky Harvey nice!!!
Only thing that sucks about being a trucker is time. You get home eat shower watch some CZcams or Netflix and it’s time for sleep and wake up for work the next day
Lol first XPO and now CFI is behind you. Your on a roll being around the former Conway Freight divisions brother.
😂🤣😂😏🤔
Thank you sir
Chris c 😋😊
$22 HR. Is no money men you can make in a bicycle delivery and no need CDL A and hazmat endorsement
Maximo White Yo thats more then I ever made my life bra $22 is good money.
Depends where you live too. 45k 50k isn’t that bad if your expenses are low you can win with it.
I seen signs for FedEx in the big cities paying local drivers 23.75 an hour. The pay for local drivers have gone up last 10 years ago
That's probably starting pay. FedEx Express top out well over $30 an hour and pay OT over 8.
I don't shop there but I hear Wal Mart drivers make $80k/yr
Hello everybody
I would like to have your opinions please. Do you think it might be appropriate to pull a 2-axle or 3-axle chemical tank with a cascadia 2015-2016 with the following characteristics:
- Motor: DD13 of 470 HP
- Transmission: 13-speed manual,
- Differential ratio: 3.58
- Wheelbase: 228 ‘’
- Front axle: 12,000 lbs
- Rear axles: 40,000 lb
- Suspension: Air 40000
Thank you for your opinions.
You’re usually getting loaded on a scale and not over 80k, shouldn’t be an issue.
@@blauer2551 Thanks for replying
I was expecting to make that type of money but w/ like 210-240hours a month not 280
Old dominion is $27 hr or 65 cpm running otr
Gear Shifter 27
Niceeee
Thats team running pubs
They never hire,people never leave.
Old Dominion pays over time after 60 hours. XPO in Jersey is 29.45 with O T after 8 hours. 100% touch freight though. Im used to that tho. Since my ccx days.
More info then the evening news paper
capazontwo 😂🤣😂
Good money local= work like a dog
I moved to Texas and make 90k sitting on my ass. Driving 1 hour AT A TIME. And physicality working 30min AT A TIME
What Company U @ ?
Haul crude oul
Texas here I come. Good Mexican food there too.
Video starts @ 3:22
Hey Alex ! Great vidoes man. With the risks, involved , I thought these guys were making atleast $ 30 an hour.
Depends on the branch but some do pay $32 here in the Midwest.
I made $24.50 per hour moving ice cream as a spotter!!!! All the benefits! Home on the weekend. No night work. Only problem? Company management sucked!!! It was so bad I had to leave. Playing mind games everyday is not healthy for me. But my point is; performing such a dangerous responsibility with Airgas and to recieve that pay is embarrassing.
sentinel is where it’s at
crude oil starting at 30 34 working nights with experience
i’m at 34 hauling crude oil . made 110k last year
New England loco companies drivers who deliver fuel to gas stations make 93-95 and they are home every night
I drive a propane tanker but am looking to drive a fuel tanker.
Very,very,very hard to get into. Was in it an cant get back in. Been doing this 14yrs and own 2 Truck.
Thanks for the videos! So helpful you are helping so many truckers thank you 🙏
You can make that at home depot
🤣🤣🤣
Here in Bay Area, no hazmat, local, $27 Dollar per hour plus over time. JB Hunt. But need to load and unload the truck. Any way, this video tell us, what is the around payment at Tanker Industries. Thank You so much, here is my like.
CARLOS PALACIOS 😊😋
Cost of living over there is also high
Do I need experience??
Start drive truk 7 am stop 6 pm?
Just a heads up, if working in Florida, anything over 10 hours in 1 day is considered overtime for that day, irregardless if you have passed 40 hours yet.
is it pretty easy to get into tanker divining? im kinda new don't have a cdl, interested in the field
That driver is lying. Airgas doesn't pay nearly that well.
Arguing With Stupid People why would they lie?
I recall something called Ice Trucker?? I hear you can make 80K in 2 winter months driving over frozen water to towns that need stuff.
If you want to live in Alaska. Burrr!
$21/hr is not that good but atleast he gets alot of overtime and great benefits
remember its $21 to start!? My man been driving 30 years so he up there!
@@dontblink572 $21 to start is okay money just because he has all the benefits and OT.
Too much responsibility for $21 hauling DG
The OT is what makes it worth it in my opinion
22 an hour is not really big money, especially haz mat
Been driving fuel tanker for 5,5 years now. Hazardous goods ain't much different than anything else. The thing hanging over your shoulder is the consequenses if something goes wrong. But if it does, you run like never before!
That’s not no money
K.I.M. TRANSPORTATION double negative
I need help to figure what division is best I only have 18 month local experience no otr Schneider next week I go but they have regional but ppl say tankers is where is at any advice bro please
Reading some of these comments,I gotta say,some of you guys sound really bumbed about having to work hard to earn a good living. Sorry in advance if I'm wrong. Be safe out there truck drivas.
