    Thanks guys. CHS has an opening, and I just applied. I dont have any tanker experience, so hopefully they will train. Anyone know of any others?

    I will give them a call soon. Thanks for the info. I am also checking out Cliff Viessman. I see a lot of their trucks on the road. I was at that truck stop in Sauk Centre today! I like to stop there every once in awhile. They have a pretty decent breakfast.

    Wayne transports in rosemount hauls petro tankers, chemical, and dry bulk. Don't know if they are hiring or not. There are a few others around that haul tank. Caledonia haulers, kane transport, buesing transport, also J&C out of Forest Lake does regional dry bulk for cement plants.

    Say i also saw that you were looking at Pioneer, i almost forgot about them. They deliver haz mat a lot to our shop. I have talked to Mike the owner before. He will make local runs every now and then. They seem like a really good family operation. The drivers seem to stay there a while. They haul haz mat in vans, tanks, end dumps, and flats. They run good equipment, all kenworth's and some pete's. I almost went to work for them but i decided to stay where i was.

    I was actually offered a job by Kane a few months ago. It didn't seem to be what I was looking for. The pay was a little too low. I also checked their SafeStat score and it wasn't that great. I'm dropping an application at Wayne this week, and I emailed Ryan at Pioneer. He said they aren't looking for drivers at this time, but to stop in and fill out an application, so I will. I am researching Caledonia Haulers. Having a hard time finding info about them. Thanks for the leads!
