    Hello. I'm new to the whole trucking world. I recently started a cdl program with the local community college. Once I graduate I hope to find a regional job. I've been in contact with Schneider and they actually seem like they might be for me. Well it's good to be here. Y'all have a good day.

    Schneider has some pretty good regional stuff.
    Where is your location?

    Western Dairy Transport has local/regional/OTR opportunities and hires new cdl grads. They're a milk tanker outfit headquartered in Cabool,MO and have terminals spread around.

    I've never heard of them before. I won't have a tanker endorsement when I graduate though. Are they hard to get?

    Tanker endorsement is a simple multiple choice test. Maybe 30 questions.
    Google : Free CDL Practice Tests Missouri to see the test and answers and also the tests are on this TTR website.
    Go to the DMV and take the test before you graduate so they can put it on your license. You'll love tanker work.
    Scroll to the top of this page and click on the 3 small horizontal bars, then click on "CDL Practice Tests."

    I took the 10 question practice quiz on this site for tanker. It all seems pretty easy and common sense stuff.

    This one, the ad says 1 yr. experience needed, but in fact they do hire new cdl grads on a case by case basis. It's well worth submitting an application if you like the looks of the company. Check the pay for this outfit and no hazmat to start; later they will pay for hazmat endorsement.
