    I’ll see if I could get my hazardous and tanker endorsements with my cdl since those two interested me the most. I’m not that well informed on flatbeds, but I’d be willing to look into it. Again, thank you for taking the time to reply!
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Let’s see…

    ExxonMobile has a refinery downtown BatonRouge right off of i110. Between NewOrleans and Baton Rouge, there’s tons of refineries. Morgan city to NewIberia. If I lived in south Louisiana, I would position myself to be in a tanker because those guys make bank.

    What are the names of the trucking companies? I don’t know, but they all frequent all the little mom and pop truck stops instead of the big chain stops. Go to a place like Truckers Path that can highlight all the truck stops with sit down restaurants in your area. Here’s an example of the truck stops in the places I mentioned. IMG_2269.png
    These guys run day cabs. All local. I have been to many of these places in south Louisiana and southeast Texas because I was hauling blast resistant buildings from Houston to the refineries.

    The money is OBSCENE, but they do have stupid rules, like clean shaven, nomex suits…etc…
