As a small company, PTC began transporting fuel oil and later catered to the textile sector. Now, PTC is a significant carrier for gasoline retailers, providing product delivery, logistics, and inventory management throughout the Southeastern United States. In 1985, deregulation enabled PTC to broaden its services and scope. PTC strives to be the top refined products carrier in the industry by concentrating on three key areas: our personnel, safety, and information management.

I’ve been with Petroleum Transport Company for over a decade, and I’ve seen firsthand how much we’ve grown. Love here
Can’t help but admire how PTC has adapted to the changing landscape
I hope more companies in the industry take a page from PTC’s book
It’s clear they’re not just resting on their laurels
Poor driving choices. Truck gets in fast lane on I95 south, gets side by side with another semi, then proceeded to drive side by side for 15 miles, going 65 mph . Long line of traffic building up . A lot of angry drivers
Frank and his guys are a real professional bunch. I would truly recommend PTC to anyone needing their service
A great place to work I love my job
Excellent company.
Poor management
Stressful workplace; the management isn’t very approachable. Team members seem overwhelmed, and scheduled lunches or breaks are not guaranteed despite being told otherwise. Dealing with truck drivers is also challenging.
Terrible workplace with nothing positive to mention. Management is poor, the hours are dreadful, and the pay is low. It’s a revolving door of employees. The manager is rude, and there’s no support. Drivers hesitate to call in issues like flat tires or equipment breakdowns, as maintenance isn’t handled properly. Most drivers share this opinion.
They provide good training, and pay will come either through the pay scale or management. You’ll need to learn the job first, but once you do, you’ll gain valuable experience.
I enjoy the job. It’s my first experience as a tanker driver, and they trained me well for it. The pay and bonuses are good, and while there’s some physical labor, it’s worth it to be home every day. The safety department is supportive and easy to work with.
Stressful workplace; management isn’t very friendly or approachable. Team members often feel overwhelmed, and guaranteed lunches or breaks are not provided, despite being promised. Dealing with truck drivers is tough.
I love my job, but we struggle with ordering the supplies needed for the store. The safety standards could be improved, as could the support from store associates and management.
Logistic coordinators are well-compensated, which provided financial stability while I worked there. I enjoyed most of my dispatch duties, even though I faced challenges. Disrespectful drivers were frustrating, often refusing to follow instructions. The most difficult part was the long hours, which could easily stretch to 14-15 hours a day.
Working here has its good moments, but recently management has become arrogant and dismissive of drivers’ concerns. There’s little willingness to listen. If this changes, PTC could become a better place to work again.
I noticed mentions of low pay in reviews. Can someone clarify what is considered low pay for this company? I’m trying to choose between local petroleum companies and would appreciate insight.
This company is very disorganized. Training is inadequate, and new hires are expected to figure things out on their own. Asking questions won’t get you answers, but mistakes will earn you criticism. If you stand up for yourself, you’ll face retaliation. If you don’t mind being cursed at and receiving mixed instructions, this is the place for you. Don’t expect breaks during your 12+ hour shift unless you’re “special.”
I worked at this company for seven years and gained valuable experience as a driver, along with practical insights into logistics. Management was supportive, and work was consistently available. I’d recommend it to drivers.
It was an average job, similar to many others with some favoritism involved. The pay was good. You’d start with a pre-trip, fuel up, run your routes, and head home.
What is the best part of working at the company? If you have prior gas experience, you can earn a decent income.
What is the most stressful part of working at the company? The equipment is in terrible condition. The terminal manager in Selma has lost many drivers due to neglect and frequently messes up paychecks. You don’t get paid for breakdowns or extra work. Numerous stressful issues arise.
What is the work environment and culture like at the company? It’s manageable as long as you don’t require help from the terminal manager.
What is a typical day like for you at the company? Handle 3-4 loads daily—load at a terminal, deliver to gas stations, and repeat.
What is the best part of working at the company? The freedom and opportunities provided.
What is the most stressful part of working at the company? Managing traffic and enduring long hours.
What is the work environment and culture like at the company? It’s competitive.
What is a typical day like for you at the company? Deliver around 4-5 loads daily, which takes about 10-12 hours.
You’re expected to complete 5-6 loads daily and are paid per load. Without extra shifts, the pay is low. You only receive seven vacation days annually. Slip seating causes issues like trucks not being returned on time, and equipment often needs repairs. Considering the hazards, the pay isn’t worth the stress. I wouldn’t recommend this company.
What is the best part of working at the company? Steady work. The high turnover rate ensures job security.
What is the most stressful part of working at the company? The pay is significantly lower compared to other fuel hauling jobs. Unless you’re at the top of the pay scale, you’ll earn $18-$22 per hour on average.
What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Management rarely intervenes due to the high turnover unless you give them a reason.
What is a typical day like for you at the company? Check your loads, head to the refinery, load, deliver, and repeat.
I enjoy working for this company, but the schedule is difficult. With 12-hour shifts five days a week, there’s little time for a personal life. Rest is all I want on my days off. The pay is fair, and the trucks are modern, but the schedules are exhausting.
It’s a good place to work overall. Dispatchers are reliable and easy to work with, and the tractors are new Macks with automatic transmissions. There’s plenty of work, keeping you busy running routes through TN, VA, KY, and NC. Shifts are 12 hours long, and you’re home daily.
This company is highly cutthroat, with management focused solely on themselves. There’s no opportunity for advancement or raises. Favoritism is evident in how loads are dispatched.
There’s 24-hour video monitoring, constant control over drivers, and manipulative tactics reminiscent of used car salesmen. If you need work, take the job, but make plans to leave as soon as possible. Pray for a better opportunity beyond the PTC family.
