Local tanker/hazmat jobs for new drivers

12 months exp. Would be your best chance to hook up with a tanker co. To be trained

 

What state/area do you currently live in? It is always easier to find a job in the market you live in verse trying to relocate.

If relocation is a big plus to you tell us where you want you move.

Edit: some ideas you can look at...Saftey Kleen/Clean Harbors. (Any enviromental waste company), The obvious local fuel hauling class A or B. Septic, who ever has the contract to haul the leachate water from your local landfill. Airgas or equivalent. Some construction company’s have their own tankers to handle rain/run off water when doing work near wetlands.

Not to sound cliché, but when you see a daycab yanking a tank write the company name down & google them.

 

I'm not saying it can't be done, but with only 3 months experience you're going to have to work to find a local tanker position. Try applying to QC, might hire & train you. I would stick to regional for at least a year. After a year, more does will open.

 

Loves aka Gemini hires cdl graduates but its totally up to the manager of the area. Some managers only want ppl with experience. And others will give a new driver a chance.

Loves has fuel, crude oil, LPG, or tire hauling to choose from depending on the area your in. But the tire hauling position is SOLID LABOR!!! Fuel is about the best but you will slip seat trucks. Crude and LPG hauling is hit or miss.beceuse loves is a third part carrier in these areas.

But they have more LPG work in LA, and MS than most other areas. And they have finally brought back the layover pay. And increased the minimum daily pay to $300 in some areas.

There is a big 5yr bonus if you don't have any safety issues. But I feel loves will phase it bbn out as most guys take the payout and quit. It ranges from $18k to $45k depending on your yearly earnings over the 5yrs.

 

I work for TWT. We have a terminal in Channelview TX (Houston). Those guys are mostly local.

 

Try Dupre Logistics in your area, they will train you & they have a sign on bonus along with benefits starting on your first day.

 

Check with local fertilizer companies hauling liquid fertilizer to farmers they are probably pretty busy right about now I know we are using 2 semi loads a day on my farm right now

 

Sounds to me like you could’ve made a better career choice. Maybe you’d be better off going back to whatever you were doing for a paycheck 3 months ago
