Hi everyone!
I’m a newly minted CDL holder who has no experience. I’ve identified Tankers as what I’d like to pull, but I’m flexible. Today, I performed a road test for a smaller tanker company who takes recent grads from approved schools, but my results were mixed and I was told I was “green” and that it shows. I graduated 3 weeks ago, so this was my first action in a while. I knew that I was “green”, but it seems to be a potential hang up for them. I’m thinking maybe I bite the bullet and go “Mega-Carrier” like Prime or TMC, or wait it out and hope if I’m picked by this smaller carrier, that I would receive the proper training time to “ripen,” so to speak. Or am I just thinking too much?
Am I Overthinking It?

Did you test in a manual or automatic?

Well, that tanker company didn't give you a firm "NO" , so you may still be called.
Where is your location?
What type work will you accept, or just want to get to work for now?Last edited: Apr 7, 2020
tscottme and Cee El in Ess Cee Thank this. -
See if they'll call you back
Or just call them and see what they saytscottme and Cee El in Ess Cee Thank this. -
Flatbed work right now isn't great. You're gonna spend some time sitting between loads right now would be my guess.
Everyone is green when they start out. But if you show you have potential, you'll be alright. It's the dummies that good up all the little things, seem flustered and can't get it together that these companies want to weed out.tscottme and Cee El in Ess Cee Thank this. -
