So I am currently in school to get my cdl. I'm looking for a company that will not only hire me, but throughout orientation, help me with my hazmat and tanker endorsement. I'm currently located in Lakewood CO, but I'm not really worried about commute, as driving happens to be the job I am signing up for. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Getting your tanker endorsement is just a matter of reading the manual and taking the test. Hazmat is the same but is much more extensive, and a lot tougher. You also need to pass an FBI back ground check. I doubt any tanker company will hire you until you get at least two years experience. Good luck.

I was told differently by an instructor, although he couldn't give me specific company names because it would have been against the school policy. He did however direct me to this website, and said there were companies who hired new drivers for tankers in gas. He may have been incorrect, but I got on here with the hopes of finding one, so I could make good money, yet still remain home at night with my family.

Insurance is the biggest reason, that I've heard, companies won't hire less than 2 years experience. The biggest gas haulers in the area are Groendyke and Solar. I don't believe either will hire a new driver for tankers though. If you want to find some companies, go sit by the loading racks in Commerce City. SunCor West and Phillips are the busiest racks. 56th and Brighton, 56th and 6

The old "you need two years experience to haul tankers" crap is, well, crap. There are dozens of drivers on this site that have hauled HazMat tankers right out of school, including myself. -

I wasn't trying to suggest getting access to any facilities. Just stop for a few minutes in a good spot, and watch for trucking company names. -
Yup sit around by a refinery and see how long it takes the anti-terror guys to show up...
