I work for Foodliner and haul sugar using the gauges on the front and back. front gauge goes to 50 and back depending on the trailer 62 or 74 usually comes out right at 50-51k which is either right on or few hundred over axle but under 80k gross.

 

What's been your experience so far, with Foodliner ? What lanes do you run ? What is your hometime like ? Do they pay well ?

 

I've been with them about a month. So far been home every night living in Kansas City most of my run's load sugar up here and deliver to Dolly madison in Emporia,ks 2 load's a day. So far all the run's ive done are paid flat rate like the emporia run is 127 a round trip. The pay has been 800-1k a week. They can send you out for weeks at a time if you want. Depending on where you live they prolly will have enuff work near by. All and all I don't have many complaints.

 

With chemical (liquid bulk) tankers....you use a "strapping chart"....that gives gallons per inch through the depth of the tank allowing for curvature. They know the weight per gallon of their product. Hopefully they will. Other than that, we sometimes are loaded sitting on a scale, or scale in empty and get the tare weight, then scale loaded to get the gross and net for the product.

Axles are fixed, but the product is "self-leveling" 8)
