    Also look into Crete Carrier. I went with them after school. Check their approved school list first to see if yours was on it. They have a terminal right outside Knoxville. Good Luck.

    No, you can do better; much better.

    Are you interested in tankers?
    Do you have hazmat/tanker endorsements, TWIC ID Card, passport?
     
    Shaggy Thanks this.
