If there was a company that wanted to put me in a truck pulling a tank trailer full of fuel down the highway there's no way in hell I would accept something like that with my lack of experience . That would be insane. From what I've seen online none of those jobs are open to anybody with less than 3 years of experience.

No big tanker or anything like that. Just a "small"delivery truck, which is still pretty big compared to the vehicles I usually drive. Will be with a trainer for two or three weeks for 8-12 hours a day ,5 days a week. I think driving takes up less than 50% of the he work day - which will be fine with me.

Thanks again for all the information and insight. As soon as I pass their physical and UA I will be driving a fuel delivery truck.Fortunately all their trucks have 10 speed manual transmission so I will still be able to get that experience.

Thanks for all the information. All kinds of things to learn, and there's more and more with each branch of the industry.

I just got my class A CDL, and I have no interest in being cooped up with some weirdo in a truck for weeks at a time to be trained over the road. Are there any companies that would train drivers on the highways and mountains within a 600-1200 mile radius of their home area? I'm 50 years old and living with some stranger in a small area on that person's terms is not going to work for me. I'm in western Washington and finished CDL School a month ago. I would appreciate any information I could get on this subject. Thank you.
