You work to make them money.  Just same corporate stuff as anywhere.

Culture
Good old boy place.  Old employees are in everyone else is whatever

Overall
By far the worst part about liquid is the equipment.  Everything is the cheapest as possible.  Trucks are small.  Stripped down base models.  Constant breakdown.  Trailers all have abs light on.  Everything is dirty.  Dented.  Something always broken.  Not even a cb in truck.  Not even a passenger seat in truck.  Only place to put fridge is where passenger seat should be.  Being in those trucks all day is depressing and demoralizing.  Terminal is gravel and potholes everywhere making everything dirty.

If you have some OTR experience this a good place to go for a hourly regional driving job in the Omaha area.

Pay is what is advertised on the back of the tanks and home time is usually more then a strict 34 hour reset then back on the road.

Time off is very generous if you give enough notice.

Anytime I have out run a load I got layover pay for all the time I sat beyond the 10 hour break.

Training is good, if you have basic mechanical knowledge and common sense learning to operate the tanks for unloading and loading is not to difficult.

Being paid by the hour is definitely a stress relief out on the road. Traffic, weather and other delays don't stress me out like it did when I was paid by the mile.

Promise you 1000 layover pay and 1500 a week for two weeks of training.  Let you go day four of week one without a valid reason and say they will only pay for two days of the four days you were there.  You quit your other job thinking you would get a fighting chance to learn.  Your trainer tells you they are lax on safety, but management says they are the safest.  Worst experience I've ever had with any company.

Driving for liquid was a lot of fun. Working out of the Plattsmouth yard you really did get the feeling of being a family.  I broke down in Montana one time and they put me up in a hotel for a week while my truck was getting fixed.  The only issue I had was getting me home a day latter then I had asked to for my fathers funeral.  Still made it home in time though.

Liquid Trucking is a small business, we have approximately 150 drivers, 190 power units and 300 trailers.  Here at liquid Trucking you are a person and not a number, we grill out for lunch, sign birthday cards, buy each other lunches, we are one big family not a number.  The owners are very much involved in the day to day tasks and actually work bettering the company each day for the last 30 years.

I've learned a lot working with Liquid Trucking, stuff I wouldn't have known otherwise. How pumps and liquid work and what kind of equipment is best for the different functions we perform around here. There's a lot of long time employees who are able to help me learn the ropes on the jobs since I'm not afraid to ask how to do something. It's hard work, but it's rewarding!

I haven't worked in the truck industry much but I have had my share of some places and I'm not just saying this to brown nose but this place is by far the best of the best, your not a number and they treat you with respect and they take care of you! I'm happy to call this place home! Also if you need home time they can help with that! Good pay as well!

Hourly pay means just because someone else drops the ball or is slow your not sitting around making no money. Get the respect your time deserves not just the spinning of your wheels

They’re honest with you from day 1 about everything from the pay, to the equipment, and the home time. they’ve always gotten me home and the pay is what is advertised on the back of their trucks. so long as you’re a driver who just does his job and keeps his nose clean you will like it here! 

Great company to work for, with encouraging management. Very family oriented atmosphere, where all opinions are valued. Management values all employees, and it shows. The culture is great, and the people even better. I would highly recommend working for Liquid Trucking.
