    Hello all
    This is my second post and from all the research I've done I decided to go the tanker route.I have the tanker endorsement and will have the hazmat in 30 days or sooner(was finger printed this past Friday).I live in Sparta Illinois which is 50 miles southeast of St.Louis,Missouri.Sparta is also the home of the big amateur trap shooting yearly 2 week event.What I'm looking for is a good trucking company that has a good tanker division with hazmat,and or a good bulk hauling division as well.Any advice or help would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time

    Schneider has a bulk division now. You might want to check them out. They don't always have tank loads for their drivers to pull though, because the bulk division is fairly new. I've heard that when they don't have tanker loads they have their drivers pull an occasional van load to get them some miles. On the down side, I have also heard that tanker drivers don't get paid as well with Schneider as they do with other companies. Still, they might be a good place to start because they do have a good training program. Good luck!

    Quality requires 2 years OTR as do most other tank carriers except Schneider .
