I pull tankers for Prime, They pay .40cpm, all food grade, nice equipment. You would still have to go out with a trainer though if you've never pulled tanks before.

transport service co. has food grade also. -
I,m going back pulling a tanker, I might have to move to the Chicago land area,to get with one of the better co.s. The last time I pulled a tanker was 07, but I have 8 years exp. with tankers,including super tankers.

Any updates Groundpounder? I went with Martin Transport and couldn't be happier. They are looking for drivers big time and only require 1 year exp. You'd be out with a trainer but they put you in a hotel every night that you're with one. None of their trucks have 2 beds.
PM me if you want more info.wellbucket, groundpounder and jvar4001 Thank this. -
Funny you should ask today was the last day on the construction job !!

Good luck GP I'm also looking into getting back into tanker work but trying to stay local no gas companies.

Drivenaway is giving you 100% accurate info. I guarantee it.
One way to get tank time is to find a smaller, local outfit to work for. Even though the pays typically sucks, you get home a lot and can save all the increasing road expenses.
One example would be to work for a construction company pulling their water tankers (tractor-trailer). -
If want info about tank work. I can help with over 32 years intrucking
jvar4001 Thanks this. -
I applied with their local outfit Kenan Advantage Group for a local gas hauling job. Really good place to work but hard to get on with from what I've heard from other guys I know around. I'm considering Transport Service if its offered if the local gig doesn't come through.

I'm nver going back to Prime but do they still have that insanely long waiting list for trainers in tank and flat?
