    Who ever pulls the fuel for wawa in the area.

    #### I'm drawing a serious blank here. I see about all tankers working philly every work day, but I can't remember beyond this list.

    I've looked up Venezia since they're about 4 miles from where I live, but they only hire experienced. I'll look up the others as well - thanks!

    Put in an app anyway with V. When I first started tanker, I applied with them with no experience and ended up going to a different company. Well their recruiter did just about everything but break my front door down trying to get me to come over. Even though I had zero tank experience.

    I have a good buddy of mines who drives for Bynum TRANSPORT. He lives in South Philly off of 29th & Snyder. He's runs the NE on a dedicated fleet from Mass to Allentown. He also p/u out the port of Wilmington too. Short runs they pay percentage. I would look into them...

    Good luck. I wish the best for you.

    If any companies say "no". Don't let it get you down. Keep on keeping on.
