    Insurance requires you to be 25 or over for fuel purposes. Generally.

    You have to have Hazmat.

    Also Tanker endorsement.

    Also combination vehicle.

    Also Airbrakes, as fuel tankers generally have air disc brakes and other applicances.

    also you will be trained in a company situation specifically fuel after you get your schooling done and these things with your new CDL. Not one minute before.

    You generally will have to either make it to 25 with no accidents etc etc etc or you have to spend some time working for a bottom feeder until you accumulate a good record that is flawless, no incidents, accidents, fatals, injury or suits etc etc etc before you are considered for tanker work.

    It's worth the grind to use a gaming term to get to fuel tanking if that is where your heart is.

    Is it very difficult to move into the fuel hauling business after attending a truck driving school ? Quite a difference in training

    Are you located in South Texas? I know this company Coastal Transport hires some students right out of school. They have automatic Volvos and are home every day. Get your TWIC along with your hazmat.

    A guy in Jacksonville graduated from cdl school and was immediately hired to haul fuel for Comcar. Yes, Comcar requires you to graduate from cdl school.

    My mistake; they guy told me he delivers to gas stations around Jacksonville. That would still be a good place to get started.
