I do have some experience with moving trailers. I am a backup yard driver at one job. We drive yard trucks and my other job is going to let me move trailers in a day cab. #I don't have cdl or otr experience. #Also am really wanting either flatbed or tanker. #

With Millis you either go through their school or have one years experience.

Forget the food grade stuff and go Hazmat tanker
Trimac, Superoir and Scheinder will take new drivers -
Yeah I have read a lot on the Millis section of the forum. It's one thing I don't like about them I would rather pay myself. That way i can get a job with cdl in hand. But the people on the forum seem happy with them.

I have looked into Superior Carriers the closest yard is to far away. Also I thought Schneider was food grade only.

Go with SCHNEIDER tanker...They'll give you great training...Those food grade companies are gonna want to see safe driving and steady work history for a few years.
