    do you actually need this health insurance or is it a want?? me personally im not getting any insurance till 40 or 50. Total waste of money at my age. I dont even have car insurance since paying the no car insurance police tickets are cheaper than the insurance haha

    Was told if the company doesn't offer insurance and your a 1099 (independent contractor) then the government offers subsides(money) to help cover monthly premiums (payments) depending on your net income.....Gucci25 if you plan on being an Owner Operator (O/O) then you better get your health insurance to cover your butt and your business. One real sickness or accident not your fault and your bankrupt real quick. Don't worry your young and strong but you will understand someday.

    Most tanker drivers running OTR make over a thousand a week. Don't know about local because I've never done that.
    Check these:
    Superior Carriers
    Trimac Transportation-new cdl grad told me he starts Monday at one of their terminals.
    McKenzie Tank Lines-a driver trainer told me they do hire new cdl grads.
    SVTN
    Tidewater Transit
    Indian River Transport
    Oakley Transport

    If you want reefers try Abilene Motor Express.

    Trimac Elite Fleet drivers make over $100K but you can't just jump it to that fleet. It may take a few months.

    And if you hit someone will you pay for any damages out of pocket, or just laugh about that too?.

    lol i thought about that but the problem is im otr. Car only moves 2 times every other month and since im young car insurance ppl try to rob me for over $300 a month full coverage so its cheaper to just not have it. So far i saved over $3000 since being otr from not paying someone for it
