    Try Crystal Flash also look at any tanker companies you see in gas stations and call. Believe I saw a FTT

    Tanker of Frontier. Also give Bulkmatic a call its obviously bulk but the drivers I spoke to are home everynite

    and make over 60k year.

    this would be my suggestion also...unless you want to move to tx, ok, nd etc. There should be some tanker jobs in MI....and once you learn the business and find your way around with the different companies, there are lots and lots of local tanker jobs in most areas. Just remember... great pay and home every night is not something that goes together unless the oil boom cranks up in your area.

    A lot of oilpatch jobs pay well and you are home every night....my problem with that statement is that... no, I'm out of the truck every night....my "home" is about 350 miles from here....would be a lot farther for you.

    Find a good tanker outfit to get started. Once you have a year of experience, doors begin to open. Two years, most all doors are open.
     
    Jamie414 Thanks this.

    I would apply online if possible, then call...or show up in person if possible. One thing I forgot to mention. Be patient as possible (i know that you may need to get to work). The best info you get on these forums...thats fits you the best... may come a week or a month from now. That info may come from somebody that doesnt check the boards but once a month. You have to remember that most are working and only log in when they have time.

    If tanker is definitely what you want...spend a LOT of time reading the tanker forums... you'll learn a lot. Spend a lot of time researching the industry as a whole. Use google...its your friend. Interested in a company... google their name... google xyz trucking reviews... you'll learn a lot.
