Been really thinking about flatbeds, but you just about have me convinced to try tankers instead . Maybe I'll do the flats for the first year. try something else the second.
Am I outta my mind?

If your just looking for opinions, tank work is about the best driving job out there. If you can that's where I would start with Schneider bulk or someone. Once you get a few years under your belt you can land a local job if that's what you want. With gasoline and oil your very limited to the number of other people you have to deal with during loading and unloading which was my favorite part.

Attend a 160 hr. CDL school. A few days before school starts, submit job applications. Don't wait until graduation. This will give you time to sift through the job offers and pick the one you like best. Ignore "experience required" on any website and apply anyway.
Enjoy your new career.Last edited: Feb 12, 2015

How about companies who hire tanker drivers, do you know a list of good companies for that? -
When I retired out of the Navy, I turned down a $250.00 a day ocean towing tugboat job as a engineer. I had already took & passed the 10,000 HP and under exam. I went trucking instead.............go figure! I had been to 53 countries, and had only seen 13 states during my time in the Navy. I wanted to see what else there was.
All my friends told me that I was a ##'n idiot for going trucking.
I have no regrets. I miss all the good people I met out on the road, and still wonder how they are all doing today.Danvitt Thanks this. -
