Down To The Short List

Anne is rather sure…

Pretty sure G'Town meant FOOD grade. (Not saying that SNI isn't 'good grade' too, hahaha!)

Indeed. Yes meant Food Grade… thanks for watchin’ my 6 Anne.

It all has been said already, G is absoutely correct. There are several various tankers out there, plus ISO’s which are even more dangerous because of their high center of gravity. Pulling a fuel tanker is far different from single compartment tankers.

Anne is right on the attire. Those chemical suits are miserable. Not all loads require them, but any haz stuff does. Also most plants don’t allow passengers or pets. For obvious reasons.

TWT is a fair sized company, known a few of their drivers. They do a good job.

Howard Transportation never heard of. Howard Shepard Inc is based out of Sandersville Ga. They seem to be pulling more containers than tankers these days. Good company.

Scheinder has a good training program on tanks. That division has had major ups and downs over the years. Last I’ve heard more of their tanker stuff is in the nottheast.

My best advice is too go to a company wether schneider or prime where you can start in something other than tanker, learn the industry and what driving a civilian truck is about, then transfer to the tanker division if you still are intetested.

I’ve recently left tanker work and pulling a flatbed. I’ve run a few loads and still haven’t really gotten used to not having surge effect me. I was that used to it after 5 1/2 years.

All the mid size to large chemical haulers are all over, including the south.

Check out Mesilla Valley Transportation. Epes out of Greensboro takes new grades depending on school you graduate from. Check out fleetdirectory.com. Some links are outdated but you can look at some state by state companiesz

Just shot them an app.

Always, G'Town!!!

You've ALWAYS had MY back !!!!

STILL ... Always DO !!!!

Travis, another 'smaller' place you could check out, is Witte Bros. ~ our own Kevin started with them, and he has a bit of a diary, in that section.

Since you DO have your CDLA; have you tried HERE?!? >Apply For Truck Driving Jobs

Have you looked at Melton? (Flatbed; quite popular with some peeps on here; do a search.) Keen ? Keim ? How about Hogan ? There are SO MANY great places to start. A few of our TT peeps are with May; Pianoman did some hauling for System Transport, too! Heck, have you read Old School's posts? He's even got a Word Press Blogspot, in his profile.

I JUST thought of another one! Cardinal Logistics / Redbird. They have vans (reefers too?) and CERTAINLY tanks, as you move up the ladder! A great pal of mine just joined their ranks!

Hang in, and hang on. PJ knows the HECK about tank hauling. It's not a starting gate, as we ALL have said. Can't explain/emphasize, enough.

Wish you luck, good sir. Kick it with the skateboarders, you may NEVER wanna TANKl~!!

Best always;

~ Anne & Tom ~

ps: Hope the new family is doing AWESOME!

Looked at Melton, got a "pre acceptance" and email. Then that following Monday a "we selected other applicants". I'm guessing that was probably my lack of any work history as I have nothing on my MVR or criminal history at all, ever. I tried contacting the recruiter since to ask why but always get voicemail. I can always revisit them once I've got work history and especially driving experience in a year or so when my wife and I are looking to move.

Dang !!!

Any other flatbeds on your short list? Ya know, Old School had a 'helluva' start w/Western Express. Try them? Their app is on here, too... I think.

At Schneider your eligible to transfer after 3 months if you wanted to get some dry van experience under your belt before moving to bulk.

Now you can get MY six, G'Town, and fix my prior(s!)

Back on topic . . . (Before my overdue bed time!)

TRAVIS, what's up??? Any new companies/prospects in your near future ?!?!? It's been awhile; hope all is well with your family dynamic, too!

Best always!
