I know there is something to do with pressures etc but I've also heard IRS not hard to learn just like chemicals

Is this a busy season for tank business overall. I just received an email from Dillion Transport asking me to fill out an application. I leave my resume posted on Monster.Com and Career Builder. getting alot of calls lately for some reason. I asked if I could talk with some of the drivers to get direct feedback from them. They are going to set it up for me. I am looking to retire from this job so I have to make the correct decision. It sounds like you like what you do. I just can't see have to hand unload a trailer every day when I am 58 years old or older. Should be able to do tanker I would hope.
