    Miller Transporters has a Terminal in East St. Louis, IL and 3 terminals in the southeast quadrant of Texas. From what I've heard it isn't a big deal to switch terminals here BUT the 3 terminals in Texas are Owner Op only whereas the terminal in Illinois are Company driver and Owner Op.

    Well I put an app in with Miller and it got rejected. They said I didn't have enough tank experience, I have none just 5 years flatbed. Said there were better candidates, that's from the El Dorado manager.

    Where else would be a great company to go haul HAZMAT?

    Still looking for somewhere. Wife now says she doesn't want to move. Anyone know any good tank companies that hire out of the STL area?

    Just dropped my app in at pretty much all of them realsupatruka. Not Superior though, we've discussed them already. Called QC .because I put an app in with them yesterday. Terminal manager never did call me back after I left a VM. Guess I'll call again tomorrow...

    Got a call from Griffith's tank lines, subsidiary of QC, out of East STL. Anyone have any knowledge of them?

    Griffith's is based behind us at the tank wash in the old stockyards. Older trucks and trailers. They have a contract with Afton Chemical so you'll have to deal with that nightmare. Most of them are O/O but they might have some company. There are Miller, Slay, QC, CTL, Girton and Newman Carriers that are based at Tank Trailer Cleaning or next to it.
