    Fresh out of school with every endorsement not many options to get into the tanking industry other than Schneider and CTL. That's a little disappointing. Is it better to just get one year experience under your belt driving a dry van, reefer or flatbed before trying to enter the tanking industry? Done a lot of research and all the good companies want experience.

    Was your first job right out of school driving a tanker?

    Go with CTL then. Don't waste your time pulling dry vans or anything else, if tanker is what you really want.
    Take the CTL job.

    I was interested in CTL but I guess they filled up they're recruiting class. Schneider was willing the hire immediately and fly me out to Houston ASAP but after doing more research they treat their drivers like crap.

    Look into Trimac?

    Maybe Superior Carrier? They might consider recent grads, but I'm not sure.

    I looked into Superior and I was told by the recruiter that they don't have any trainers to train new graduates out of the morrow location
