    how many hours hauling fuel?

    do you mean gasoline?

    you didn't mention if you had a hazmat endorsement. ...

    I also forgot to ask to the original poster,

    if you are paying money out of your pocket to get a license through a driving school, then I would get a class A.


    not all people who have CDL's had to pay to get them, but if you are forced to get one that way, a class A will give you more options. you might work for a outfit for a while with a bunch of rigs and they might get you your CDL license, maybe they might let you get a Class A if you stay long enough. some concrete companies have B and A trucks, and they are willing to train and get you the CDL of your choice.....​

    Most of the drivers at my company work around ten to 11 hours a day. We are payed by the load though so it really comes down to how hard you work as your hourly rate.

    Yes I haul gas, diesel, and home heating oil, and I also have a hazmat endorsement. I added it about two years ago along with my tank endorsement (already had doubles from a previous job) because many of the better paying local jobs required it. The more endorsements you have the more doors are open for you.
