How do I get loads for a tanker?

I doubt that any chemical company will hire you to haul their product without you having some kind of specific training and a track record of moving chemicals.
@Cat sdp is right...hire your truck on to a company pulling tankers. They'll give you some training and they already have a customer base established.
You might have to wait a couple of years...most tankers want a driver at least 21 years old.

 

What bout the dump truck

 

All Good points. The standard requirement I see alot is 23 years old, my company included. I know of a few outfits that are 25 and up.

 

Okay, SNOOKIE... LET GO OF YOUR.... whatever you call it. CatSDP and I made a killing pulling asphalt. WAS NO busting chops, a'hat.

@Regional ...Cat and REO gave you some good advice. Who needs a 'snookie' anyway?!?

 

Chemical hauling costs a lot more to get into than dirt hauling........call progressive and get a quote.....

Here is the link ..just be sitting down when you get the quote......

Yes 5 million for haz-mat bulk

Plus you need at least $2000 dollars worth of stainless steel fittings, reducers etc. And then how about 4-5 20 foot hoses. Another $1,000 .........

How about your tractor pump and compressor....... another 10K if it’s all new and hung so it looks/ functions well......

 

Pretty sure I know how to get it done.......

 

HELLLLLKK TO THE EF TO THE YEEEOOOOP~! My MAN!

 

Our insurance calls for a minimum of twenty five years old and they prefer prior tanker experience and a squeaky clean driving record.
LOL...no problem, our youngest tanker driver is sixty.

Side note,,,some times I feel like the insurance company ought to pull up a chair and do some of our office work or maybe go out in the shop and help fix things since they darn near run our business for us anyway, End of rant.
