Boo'sdad,

I don't consider myself an "old timer" yet but I do have a little bit of info for you.

I live in Los Angeles CA. I have no other experience in any other state. I do haul bulk HazMat in the L.A. area. Judging by the posts of others and the companies that are discussed here, I think that I am way ahead of the game. I suggest that you take the time to find a good tanker company. Please don't limit yourself to fuel and propane. Try to find a chemical distributor that deals with a variety of chemicals. That way, you will be well versed in many chemicals and the ways to off load them (pump, gravity and air).

I made just over $78K last year working Monday thru Friday and home every night. We can only work 60 hours per week. I challenge you to find any OTR company driver who has that type of schedule with that type of pay. Let me help you, it's not gonna happen. Good luck in your search.

Drive safe
