    Indian River Transport. Sometimes their ad has "1 yr. driving experience required" and sometimes "2 yrs. driving experience required."
    Call and ask which is correct.

    Rogers Cartage is probably ok. They're owned by Tankstar. If they haul hazmat it's probably ok. If it's just a cement terminal the pay won't be great.
    I worked for Schwerman which is also a division of Tankstar, and the Rogers terminals had a much better reputation than the Schwerman terminals.

    It is liquid Hazmat or that's what was advertised working in the endorsement now.

    Where I worked we had liquid and dry bulk hazmat. If that's a hazmat terminal, give it a try. Good chance to gain tanker experience.

    I think in the long run you would make more money doing chemical (hazmat) tanker. Lot of good companies will take you with 1 yr al long as your mvr and psp are ok. Where are you located?
