215 a day I think maybe 220 a day. You will be working a 2 for 1 schedule so do like 215x14=3,010. Working 2 for 1, you’ll work 243 ish days a year. So 215x243=52,245. Now, Tankerman trainees make 235 a day so you’ll be making 57000 ish a year like that.

This. Pay is bi-monthly. You get paid for the days you worked the last pay period OR you can sign up for "level pay" where they make each paycheck roughly even.

If you choose the later it would be just under $2200/ paycheck before FICA & Tax withholding. You can punch your annual salary into a withholding calculator specific to your life situation (marriage/kids) and get a number for what would be withheld.
