Tanker firm rewards safety with big boost in driver pay

摘要

Crestwood Transportation, a Houston-based tanker truck company, said it is rewarding safe drivers with a dramatic increase in pay in its central region. Though the firm transports natural gas and crude – not refined petroleum products – petroleum marketers likely will compete for the same drivers. The March 21 increase brings tanker drivers’ starting pay in this region to up to $80,000-$85,000 per year, and drivers with 10 or more years of experience start at up to $95,000.
