Every time I see a Tanker, I just want to drool. Doesn't matter the kind. Dry bulk, food grade, supercooled gases, fuel. I stilll want to eventually get on WMPF, but. I think my first move will be someplace with tankers. I really, really want to drive a tanker. I already live in a mid roof anyway. I am used to that. Idk.... maybe I am just dreaming. I do already have my Tanker endorsement.

I know Brett has driven tankers. Anybody else out there ever done tankers?

There are companies that hire newbies for tanker. (Sorry don't remember if you're experienced or not). If you are new though, look into schnider, prime, comcar, tidewater transport and I think there are a few more.

I need to finish my first year anyways. But I think I will try to find a bigger company that has tankers and a Walmart dedicated. That way I can just switch within the company.

Yup. I work for Groen**** Transport. I got hired on there right out of school. I love pulling tankers, absolutely love it. Yes, I thought it was a very big learning curve starting out with tankers and no driving experience with the exception to school. Here it is 5 1/2 months in and I still am learning something new everyday. Just to give you an idea of what I do pull, I've been pulling a hard shell here lately transporting butane, the tank will also haul propane. I've pulled some gas/diesel, and we do a lot of asphalt in the summer time. Great outfit to work for, can't see myself anywhere else!
