Sure. class A Work second shift 3 days guarantee everyweek of 12.5 hours shift. My routes are going to 8 differentstates in the northeast. Class B- I’ll be working 10 hours every days second shift. Both are home daily.

I guess it boils down to how many days you went off a weekend home daily for either one sounds awesome. Are the benefits the same for both?

Wethose I’m assuming. It sucks but it’s considered fuel hauling experience. Do it for a bit then get into gravity drop fuel hauling.

I would take it because experience is king in this industry. Get some valuable experience with gasoline and then you can apply at another company for a class a position. Or if that company does class a too then work your way up.

You only have 9 months of experience, for someone like you, this is a god send. Don’t waste it.

I think I’d def take the fuel delivery job. Looks good on the resume having experience doing different things, just don’t get in the habit of only staying 9 months on each job.

If you're looking to maximize money I'd take the class B work for the 25% raise and never look back.
