    Lot's of tanker companies will hire with 4 mos. experience.
    Ignore any "experience required" on the websites and apply anyway.
    Two drivers recently posted they were hired right out of CDL school to work for Indian River Transport.
    I worked for a hazmat/tanker company that required 2 yrs. tanker experience, but hired two new CDL grads while I was there. Those new drivers were just as good as any of us.

    Schneider Bulk
    CTL Transportation
    Tidewater Transit
    Trimac Transportation
    Superior Carriers
    Coastal Transport Co.
    SVTN

    Probably several others also.

    A new CDL graduate posted about a month ago that people were telling him he would have to go OTR for a year before getting a decent job. I told him to apply with Trimac even though the website has 12 months experience required. Well, he applied with Trimac and was hired for local work making over $60K per year.
    It's worth a few minutes filling out an application even if the odds may be against you.

    Yes, get your HAZMAT endorsement. Not having it will only make your opportunities to get hired much worse. If you have a Passport and/or a TWIC card it will open even more doors. Good Luck.
