Should I pursue tankers w/ hazmat

Best of luck --

Most hazmat tanker gigs I see want you to be at least 23 years old.

For fuel -- most want at least age 25.

Your biggest barrier (besides the job market itself) will be YOUR AGE.

Insurance will typically require age 23+

Premiere OTR Flatbed Trucking Company - Melton Truck Lines
This is a good flatbed company to get started with and hiring age is 21 yrs. old.

 

Sounds like your on the right path. No Felonies, Rollovers, Speeding 20 over, Hit and Runs, Keep working hard with safety, and i Think you`ll do GREAT. The Trucking Industry Needs GOOD drivers like you, Its going to be your age of Truckers that will decide on how Corporate america`s going to pay you.The ones that work the hardest at there job, do the best in life. Good Luck

 

Since you've already made a name for yourself in the ag business, try getting your hazmat and hauling anhydrous ammonia, liquid fertilizer, etc. Once you turn 23 you will have 5 years of driving with 2 years of hazmat tanker and that'll make you look pretty good to most carriers.

 

Northern Illinois?

In an economy that is flirting hard with a recession (& trucking is already there) -- BE SURE to keep this carrier in mind (they will take you at your current age):

For hauling food -- they can't be beat.
