I don't think Prime tanker hauls HazMat. If they do it is a tiny number of HM loads to food-grade customers, like alcohols. I never worked there, and don't especially recommend them for newbies for various reasons. Like CR England, to newbies the only trucking company they know are the biggest in the industry, regardless of quality or fit for a newbie. Because Prime is so big and so nationwide some people assume Prime tanker is a big player or widespread in the industry. It's nothing of the sort. It's the tiny boutique division of a huge company. They don't have hardly any OTR tanker type work, according to the Prime tanker drivers I've heard.

I think Indian River Transport and Oakely Transport do far more tanker business than Prime. They both seem to have a quality operation. They both operate almost everywhere.

 

Also, Idaho Milk Transport hires out of CO. The company is based near Burley, ID, IIRC. The only complaint I've heard about milk hauling is sometimes they make newbies start with loads at dairy farms, duh. And some dairy farms are just barely, if you squint real real hard, suitable for big semi-trucks. All of the dairy tankers have non-farm work moving product lots of other places.

 

Indian River has a terminal near Grandview, WA. I think Oakley's westernmost terminal is Iowa.
