looking for a good tanker co in midwest...... prefer kansas city area

Elliott Truck Line out if Vinita, Oklahoma. I've been here since July. It's a mix of liquid bulk and dry bulk. Custom Commodities, Gilmer TX, owns us and loads can crisscross once in a while. I like it. - Elliott Truck Line

 

Call wynne transport in Omaha.
Good people .

 

Might have to jump though some opps, being off that long I went though it.

 

Kenan Advantage Group, KAG. I've been with them for four years now, and have no intention of leaving until retirement (I also am an older man). They're great, and working hard top to bottom to continually improve. They are a big company, but most of the "feel" of the company, to the drivers, comes at the terminal level. Pay and benefits have been very good. Quality of equipment is very good, and improving as they limit all trucks to five years or less. They have a fuels terminal in Kansas City. Or do anhydrous ammonia, running between TX and IA. Terminal is in Great Bend, KS, but they might let you park the truck at that fuels terminal in KC for home time. Great gig. Good money, easy work. It's mostly just about how many miles you can knock out in a day. Apply at TheKAG.com for either position.

12 years out of the saddle might be a problem. No way to check your recent driving record, which all trucking companies want. But might try applying to KAG and see what happens. If you keep getting rejected, might have to take any trucking job you can get, just to get a year of experience on your record, then try applying again for hazmat tanker. Maybe you could spend a year with Swift or similar company -- bypass the training (since you already have your CDL) and go straight to ride along with another driver, then solo. A drag to have to go through that, with all of your experience, but just to get yourself back into the system it might be necessary.
