    Yeah I know. Didn't figure I'd have a lot of options. I did throw apps everywhere though. PTL, Superior, KAG, Cox, Williams/Golden Bear, etc. only people replied was PTL. I just don't know about their new ABP (Activity Based Pay). Why can't they just pay by the hour like normal people lol

    Ok young buc your in a tuff spot right now with the limited amount of seat time and no tanker experience. For right now your gonna get what you can get for tanker work most of the top outfits want 3 yrs of driving experience. Some even want that and five years of just tanker work. You have listed most of the big common carriers around.so you know what's out here. Don't sell your self short there are still chemical companies as well as cryogenics.

    I was also looking at Thompson and Harvey but can't seem to find a website for them or any online application. All the locations I find just say Santa Maria. Don't see anything for Sylmar.

    Well to be honest I'm kind of set on doing fuels, but I guess you're right, there's still some other HM I can do. I only know of Air Liquide around here, can't think of anything else I've seen. Only other chemical co I know is Brentag, but they also require 2 years. And are pretty strict on it.

    Just call the santa Maria office that's their main one. Ask about a position in sylmar they have a yard there.

    Also cmac, vista, mohsen, southwest trails, g&g, shamrock, mike roche, and more I can't think of either

    Haven't found anything yet. PTL now rejected me, without giving reason. Had an interview with CMAC yesterday, should have an answer by Friday they said. Dwindling dreams of driving a petroleum tanker. ☹️
