    Foodliner specializes in food grade. I would see them all the time making deliveries at the Bakery Company I use to work for. Can't comment on whether they're a good outfit to work for. From what I heard, they're out 1-2 weeks at a time and make around $60k a year. Here's their website and list of locations....

    One company you should look into even if you're not interested in doing HAZMAT, is Trimac. They seem to pay really well. You'll forget all about that food grade nonsense when you see your first paycheck =)

    Agri Mark has a cheese factory or whatever in W. Springfield. They are food grade tanker. I can't speak on the pay or hometime, I just know they are there.

    Since you were with Caledonia , you've probably seen AG around?

    They seem to be ok if you're only interested in food grade. Equipment looks decent (from the road anyway). They say 65k, but depends how often you go home. I think home time varies from every weekend to every other weekend, depending on where you're located.
