You could always do cement. TriMac, Southeast, Ready Mix Concrete Co., East Coast cement, Coastal Concrete, Argos (tumbler truck), or if you really want to do hazmat OTR, then CTL for a little bit and start applying to Florida Rock and Tank as soon as you can. Or Kenan, or Eagle. There's also SFT out of Savannah.

I'm assuming alot, though. You are hot on Superior so you are looking to go OTR hazmat. Not interested in daycab work? Heck, you could try to sign on with one of the drayage companies in Savannah running cargo tanks out of the port.

I will check into the cement companies you listed. I am not opposed to daycab/local work but I would like to do OTR for a while. If I ran across a local job that paid well, then yeah I would jump on it for sure.

The companies that run out of Savannah, do you have to live in that area to work for them? I am a long ways from there and don't plan on moving.

Transport Service has a terminal in Winder, and that's not far at all from Jefferson. Enterprise and Groendyke are also in Winder, and I don't know if Superior has any facilities there but their name is on the sign out by the street along with those other tanker companies. I know Superior loads a lot out of Winder, as do some other tanker outfits that may not have a terminal up there, but given the freight may still be interested in hiring drivers that live close by. I've seen several Transport Service trucks parked at that same tank wash. It's late spring, so most tanker companies should be hiring right now.

Oh, and Airgas is hiring bulk tanker drivers out of their Jefferson facility. Don't know if you have enough experience, but showing up and making a good impression can often mean more than experience when it comes to hiring.

I will check into these companies as well. Airgas is right around the corner from me. I will personally stop by there and ask. Actually I need to just take a day off and go around to all these places.

Appreciate the information.

Superiors Terminal is in Morrow Ga. Most the Winder stuff runs out of there.

Was told I would be parking the truck in Winder if I got on with Superior. Not looking real good at this point though but not dead in the water yet

Enterprise doesn't hire fresh meat.

Driver (to be), there is a heck of a lot of security in working for a company the size of Schneider. The arse kissin and favoritism that goes on at some of these small/mid (superior size) sized trucking companies can drive a person nuts. At Schneider you are a driver on the board and you get the next load - it doesn't get pulled from you and slipped to Donny the Dispatch Sucker. The dispatch shenanigans at some of these smaller joints is sickening.

If you want to work out of Savannah or Jesup ga Mckenzie has terminals there.

Got cleared by the safety department with Superior Carriers and went and took the driving evaluation this morning. Did really well on it. The assistant terminal manager is suppose to go ahead and start the paperwork to get me on.

Hoping this all goes through as it has been 3 weeks already since I graduated. I will keep these other companies posted in here on my list though as a "just in case".
