just wanted to thank everyone who gave me advice on tank and tank companies. I have decided to go with Quality Carriers and their affiliate company LMI out of South Point, OH. $50,000 my first year with a $1500 sign on bonus as a company driver. 25% of the loads to start with quarterly raises and bonuses. 1wk vacation after 180days 2wks after 365days. I will be in classroom training for a week, then hands on training for at least 3wks or until my terminal manager and I have decided I'm ready for it on my own. It will definitely be different from anything I have done and I want to be sure I know what I'm doing as well as he wants to be sure I'm sure. Thanks again for the help guys.
Thank You all

Good Luck with your adventure that was probably a wise decision. I always enjoyed working the tank side because I never had any trouble with consignees. You have what they want, no bunch of waiting around to deliver and for the most part was treated like a professional and pay was good to.

Great choice! Work less and get paid more, seriously doubt you'll ever pull a van again. A week's paid vacation after 180 days is a good indication of a great benefits package. You'll cringe and breathe a sigh of a relief anytime you pass a Wal Mart DC or grocery warehouse from now on.

I don't mean to be a downer here but 50k for a guy with 19 years seems low. Like 15k low at least. I know you don't have tank experience but man, 19 years is 19 years. Every man makes his choice and assigns his own value system I know and if you're happy great but I think you could do better money wise. Course you could always make a switch later on. In any event welcome to tanking, it is the best type of trucking there is.
