    Can y'all recommend any tanker carriers based out of San Antonio, TX that hire new grads? (Sage driving school, of that matters)

    Trimac Transportation (best to apply in person; that's what they prefer, but you can also apply online)
    Recent Driving School Graduates
    Trimac Transportation now has a Commercial Drivers License Tuition Reimbursement Program
    Eligibility:
    • Reimbursement will only be considered for programs provided through select Commercial Driving Schools approved by the Company.
    • Tuition cost will be reimbursed only if the program successfully completed within six (6) months prior to employment with Trimac Transportation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Dairy Farmers of America (hires only Sage graduates)
    Western Dairy Transport (www.wdtmilk.com)
    SVTN
    McKenzie Tank Lines
    Schneider Bulk
    CTL Transportation
    Superior-Carriers
    Tidewater Transit
    ( not positive they all hire in San Antonio, but you can ask. All these hire new cdl grads, even if the websites don't indicate it)

    Stevens Transport : has tankers working the oil fields. Usually require 6 mos. driving experience, but might cut some slack since you graduated from Sage. This is the same company that has the huge refrigerated division.

    Thank you for the list so far. Do you have any info on flatbed drivers that hire newbies in Texas (anywhere in state other than Dallas/Ft. Worth or Midessa)?

    I'm having trouble posting. This website keeps freezing and have to restart the computer. No other websites are doing this.
    Ok, flatbed that hires in Texas:
    Melton Truck Lines
    Paul Transportation
    Keim TS
    System Transport
    They all hire new cdl grads, even if website doesn't indicate it.
     
    hkchik Thanks this.

    I just graduated from SAGE myself here in San Antonio. I wanted to attend Schneider Bulk but they're not hiring out of this area for Tanker. Who did you end up going with?
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    The point is I linked Chinatown so you would get the proper response that you are looking for. Yet alot people post here expecting a response and dont get one until a friendly poster tries to help them out.
