Diesel Direct

What is the best part of working at the company?
Diesel Direct gave me an incredible opportunity right out of trucking school. They made sure I was fully trained and confident before sending me out on my own. I truly enjoyed working there—the environment is positive, the management is supportive, and the team is friendly and welcoming. There’s real potential for growth, and I would absolutely return if the opportunity came up again. I highly recommend Diesel Direct to anyone looking for a solid, well-managed place to work in the industry.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One of the most challenging aspects of working in this industry is dealing with extreme weather conditions—cold winters and hot summers can definitely take a toll, especially since the job is physically demanding. However, the physical nature of the work also has its upside—it keeps you active and in shape. You learn to adapt and push through, which builds resilience over time. It’s hazmat as well. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at Diesel Direct is fast-paced but supportive. The management genuinely cares about training and safety, and they make sure you’re fully prepared before you’re on your own. The team is friendly, and there’s a real sense of teamwork and respect among coworkers. It’s a place where you can grow and feel like you’re part of something bigger.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical Day Summary:

A typical day at Diesel Direct starts with a pre-trip inspection, prepping paperwork, and fueling the truck. You plan your route, check weather and traffic, and head to your stops to deliver diesel or DEF. After each delivery, you print receipts, complete paperwork, and move on to the next stop—usually around five per day. At the end of the day, you may refuel at the refinery, do a post-trip, and return equipment. It’s physical work but well-structured and pays $28/hour with overtime available.

First job ever that I dont have someone over my shoulder saying "go,go,go" it's more about safety and avoiding spills, not skipping trucks. In reply to the comment above or below inregards to the gallon pay, they dont force you to accept gallon pay everyone starts hourly, and once you have a set route they average everything out and offer you a gallons package. Its actually suppose to make you more money which 99% of the time it does. From my understanding is they evaluate your route and offer you a base pay which from what ive heard is about what you make regularly just incase you dont meet your gallons quota. The quota is derived from the averages over about 6months of your route. And from what drivers told me theyre base pay is about what they made everyweek, but most drivers fill their quota in the first 3-4 days leaving many drivers  about 7k average over their quota. The upside to this is you can hustle, bang out your run in 7hrs instead of 11 and when you do the math youre actually making like 10$ more an hour. I havent been here long enough to get offered gallons. But in all honesty I havent made this much money in a long time. Even though they dont pay top rate(pretty close too though), but there us overtime to who ever wants it.

Was promised a sign on bonus at two different dates, health insurance at a certain date, a raise at two different dates before my first year was over. I received my first raise, the main office changed their minds and changed my sign on bonus dates, I’m not completely sure if I received health insurance.  At one point I was filling the commuter rail trains at two different locations. But according to my manger I had to do some work before I went and did them. Because I could only fill the trains real late in the night, I talked to my manger about not doing them because I was extremely tired, and didn’t want to fall asleep behind the wheel. Mangers words was don’t worry about it, you will be fine. I always found my hours a little short then what I knew, magnet didn’t do anything about it. This company is very cheap. As long as the job gets done they don’t care about the drivers. Drivers don’t last here very long. I was the 7th driver in almost two years. There was always a conflict between all the other drivers. No driver really got along and didn’t help each other out just because they got paid by the gallon and not by the hour, multiple drivers will say they wouldnt help out because they don’t get paid to help each other out.

Former Delivery Driver for 1 year. They provide excellent training and support. Plenty of hours and a busy work schedule. Work is somewhat physical but will keep you in good shape. You have a consistent customer delivery route. The pay is by the hour or by how many Gallons you pump each 5-day work week. Overtime is available. The pay is very good and there is advancement. The delivery trucks are clean, well maintained and of the best quality. The hours are afternoon until early mornings. You are delivering mostly diesel and it is best to work when traffic is lighter on the road. They have a 401K plan and offer competitive health insurance. The management is top notch. Anthony/Jon are awesome guys and are very supportive. They put there drivers at the top of the list. If your looking for a Career! Then Diesel Direct is a Great choice.

Diesel Direct offers a friendly and outgoing office atmosphere. Everyone here is very approachable and respectful of one another’s time. Collaboration between departments happens often and team building is important to the company. The nature of the fuel business is long hours and difficult work, but this company makes an investment in their employees that far outweighs the challenges. Overall, my experience here has been wonderful. I have even encouraged several friends and family members to apply, which seems to be common practice. It is common to see family members of legacy employees joining the Diesel Direct team. This is true across all departments from operations and drivers to admin and billing. This is a company I highly recommend applying to. 

Working at Diesel Direct Night Shift is easy going especially if you do not mind working in all weather conditions set route overtime good pay

Working here, I’ve learned a few things about the fuel delivery industry. I already had prior years tractor trailer in straight truck experience good job to get your feet wet for hauling fuel.

Management doesn’t micromanage pretty good starting salary at least compared to other companies. The hardest part of the job is honestly just working in all types of different weather. The most enjoyable part of the job is when that paycheck hit your bank account.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hard to trust other people to do the job duties that are required to make things run smoothly. No accountability for problems that rise during the shift.  Training isn’t efficient due to management styles. Work hard and get very little recognition.

Putting up with management personnel’s anger issues that stem from outside the workplace.

It’s good some days and terrible others.

Once I leave the fuel plant, it’s pretty chill and helps me focus on the job with ease because there’s no supervision to put up with.

Great opportunity if given to be employed at diesel direct and make a career. Did not to many bad experiences at diesel direct other than long hours and requesting time off because of "possible" under staffing. Pay is reasonable. If you want good pay you might get overworked and overlooked (with my experience). Management is respectful and understanding although do not communicate with drivers to often which can be kind of a good and bad thing depending on how you look at it.  

Diesel Direct is the best job I’ve had so far. I was hired as a Truck driver helper. I work with some of the older guys who had trouble carrying the diesel hose. I did this for about a year and then moved forward to working as a customer relations coordinator. This was a big change but the people I was working with treated me very well and was a great experience overall. Now I work at the main office in Stoughton MA. Looking back Diesel Direct has been nothing but helpful through my career process. Looking for a job wasn’t easy but when I found Diesel Direct it was made simple. Great place to continue your career path.
