Any GOOD Non Haz Mat Tanker Companies?

You might try Indian River or Oakley. I believe they are food grade haulers.

 

hi pawpaw My husband is signing on this week with johnsrud transport out of des moines ia, Their package looks really promising, all food grade no hazmat and a great pay package. they require 5 years over the road and a clean driving record no accidents or tickets in the previous three years.and everyone we've talked to there including the bosses wife has been great. they have about 100 trucks and run everywhere but say you don't have to go to nyc. If you like I can keep you updated on how he's doing in the next couple of weeks

 

Actually it does say that they(Johnsrud) prefer a hazmat endorsement-Also you may want to check out their per-diem package (5.5cents of your pay is pe-diem, and I dont see anything that say that you can opt out of it)anyhow here are their qualifications off their webpage:

A. At least 25 years old.
B. 5 years commercial tractor trailer driving experience with at least 1 year
over-the-road. Prefer tanker experience.
C. Must have a valid Class A CDL from state of residence with Tank
endorsement. Prefer HazMat endorsement also.
D. No more than 3 moving violations in last 36 months, nor more than 1
moving violation in last 12 months.

E. No serious or disqualifying traffic violations in last 3 years as follows:

1. Reckless/careless driving.
2. Driving while intoxicated or under influence of drugs.
3. Hit an run, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to report an accident.
4. Excessive speeding (15 mph or more over the posted speed limit).
5. Improper or erratic lane change.
6. Following the vehicle ahead too closely.

F. No preventable DOT recordable accidents within 3 years.
G. No DUI/DWI convictions.
H. No felony convictions.
I. Must meet all Federal Motor Carrier Guidelines.
J. Due to nature of food grade products, pets are not allowed.

 

Indian River is with North American Tank Lines

 

I'd rule out Indian River . Their high driver SEA score gets them an INSPECT rating at the scales . They have also dropped from over 1,000 power units to less than 400 .

Didn't Indian River get themselves into a world of trouble a few years back? If I remember right (and I may not be) they ran alot in Florida.
