    driving a tanker fresh out of school is no different than driving a van, reefer
    as long as u get the haz & tanker endorsements you are all good
    if you don't want to pull chemicals there are companies that pull food grade tankers
    GOOD LUCK!!!!

    It can be done, just have to be patient, I would even apply to the ones that say they don't hire rookies. I graduated truck driving school back in late August and I am now driving a propane tanker, well not quite driving yet as I am waiting to test to be certified by the railroad commission.
