    My spouse and I are planing to start a family by next year and I badly need suggestion for some local company that pays decent for tanker and offer good health insurance.

    We live in Chicago but I am willing to relocate in TX,IN or other state that can offer a decent local or few days out gig but not OTR.


    I have total of 3yrs OTR exp and some liquid tote in van. Endorsement MNT. I will get my X soon and TWIC Card. No moving violation.


    Suggestion is highly appreciated.

    Im local tanker here with your exp. You should be able to get trained, I got my start with Quality Carriers and had no complaints on the training or pay, theres a terminal in Lansing, Il. And theres 2 in Joliet.
    Also try Trimac also in Lansing.

    Don't know if you want to go in this direction but Bulkmatic may be a place you can look into. It's dry bulk, not tanker. Home pretty much every night and good medical coverage at a decent rate (I do not know cost for family coverage, I am single).

    They will train you and you can make decent money but it can be long days.

    The mother ship is in Griffith, Indiana with a transloading yard in Hodgkins, IL and a lot of loads that get pulled out of Argo, IL from the Hodgkins location

    Saw a UPT truck dropping gasoline at Sam's Club today in Las Vegas.
    That's another choice to think about for local work.
