    I graduated in January, but have just been doing local beer delivery for a couple months.

    Looking to get into Food Grade Tanker (I don’t have a hazmat.) Would prefer regional/weekends home.

    I’ve debated on Prime, but their training time is astronomically long

    I’m in Central KY area, kinda in between Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington

    You're in Ballard Trucking country.

    Try them, all they can do is say "no".

    You'll need a hazmat endorsement for them, though. They run a lot of grain alcohol for the whiskey industry.

    thank you very much, I called Foodliner and currently they don’t have their training program open. So I’ll have to get a year of experience or wait till it does open! But they said to keep calling and checking

    food grade pulls haz too ya know. For instance Coca cola syrup is flammable, I think? Some of them haul whiskey as well. You can look into Indian River. Think they have a training program.

    Those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head that sometimes hire recent graduates. If I spot someone I forgot I'll add it to the list. Good luck, keep hammering!
