"Takes around 10 years experience to get one of these jobs and they all pay around 75k now."

Bummer cause I'm just getting my foot in the door. I have all my endorsements but never drove a tanker. Got 3 years with 53ft box and a daycab Would like to haul fuel.

I would love to do chemical tanker, I relayed a load of acid today for my company and that was great.

My freind does food grade tanker and loves his job hauling sugar.
