Hello drivers 👋 , for those that have experience with tankers, what would be the best option for a newbie with no experience with a CDL with hazmat and tankers endorsement get a job ? I wanted to know if it would be best that I get 1-2 years experience otr then apply ? Any other company but Prime has a tankers division ? Also looking for a local tanker position and also can any drivers give me a list on some tanker companies ? Thanks

Since you want tankers; don't waste time with vans; go right into tanker work.
Comcar has two divisions, CCC and CTL. They have local and OTR.
Schneider Bulk
Trimac
Superior Carriers
SVTN
Tidewater Transit
Do the online applications and ignore any "experience required" on the websites. Some companies may require experience at certain terminals, but not the OTR divisions; this is why the online application is important because that covers the whole company, not just one terminal.HotH2o, Oaker and Christopher305 Thank this. -
Tankers handle differently then dry vans. They both have so many different qualities that Chinatown is correct, the experience do not really transfer. Go straight to tankers. Just don't taste anything that leaks. I had a Railroad foreman that did that. Would you believe he ended up dying of Cancer? True story.

Chinatown Thanks this.

The mileage pay may not be that much different from vans or reefers, but the assessorial pays are fantastic and add up to thousands a year. That's why experienced drivers tell new drivers to not focus just on mileage pay. -
