Looking to get started in Hazmat OTR tanker hauling

Currently i have 10 months OTR flatbed experience including OverWeight (86,000),OverLength (88' 6"),Overwidth (11' 1") as well as experience in all of the lower 48 and Canada. Mountain and winter driving as well obviously.

Experience in trailers is
48' steps
48' flats
53' steps
48' mechanical stretch RGN

I have all endorsements but no experience with hazmat or doubles/triples.

No moving violations in life
1 written warning for failure to dim lights
1 written warning for lane control
1 citation for a trailer air hose not out of service
3 clean lvl 1 inspections tractor and trailer
1 clean lvl 1 inspection tractor only
2 clean lvl 2 inspections tractor and trailer

My goal here is to reach 60k gross annually (roughly 1330 per week gross) within 6 months of experience including training. I live in San Jose,CA but don't really care about being there more than once a month or so. I just go back to visit family as i hate that big city life.

My preferred territory is no East or west Coast except for Alaska. Everything else is cool.

I would like if this job had some growth opportunity so i don't need to change companies when i'm ready to advance my career, but that's not mandatory.

I may be able to get some training with my current company before i quit by switching over to their tanker division although whatever new company i join will probably want me to go through their training even if i do so that may be a waste of time. Maybe if i ran my current company's tanker division for a bit before i quit?

All advice is appreciated here guys.

 

I'll work on getting onto my company's tanker division and get through training and some solo experience under my belt before i go look to change company's.

I actually lived in Los Gatos for my childhood, but i never tell people that because noone knows where it is lol. I'll start working on my TWIC card and i appreciate your experience.

 

We'll my company made me an offer i can't refuse to stick with skateboards so I'll put this thread on pause for the moment.

 

Do you guys know anything about long haul tanker opportunities. IRT and Oakley both have long haul, but their pay is worse than what I'm getting right now. It seems like all the really good paying tanker jobs are local/regional.

Might have to talk with Schneider?
