    I live in Northern Virginia area. Would like the option to do Heavy, Hazmat Tanker, or off-road conditions because 1) that is where the pay is and 2) gain more experience faster.

    @chrisdab
    You can start off with flatbed and maybe tanker right out of cdl school.
    Are you near Strasburg, where @Aamcotrans is?

    Do you run your own authority or lease to a carrier?
    edit: also are you automatic with the step deck? How heavy are the loads you carry?
