    All the above pretty much trax with what I've seen elsewhere -- it's pretty much a carrier's job market right now; they can pick & choose as they like....:(

    You can also try the other area fuel haulers.

    But note that....if hired....they will most likely want you to work nites, weekends....& holidays....at least for a while.

    Fuel is really good experience -- & opens a lot of other doors, later (assuming you have a good safety record).

    Get some tanker experience with Bulkmatic. It's a decent company and the money is good.

    I think Quality Carriers still trains experienced drivers in Chemical tank. Dana sometimes does too.

    Thinking about it, but that long training process netting under 1000 a week for a whole month with the low training pay scaring me. A new account at jb hunt hauling doubles paying 1600 guaranteed for first 8 weeks, but if I get stuck there wont ever gain any tanker experience.

    Training pay is always lower - and it's only temporary.
