    Thanks for the Biagi Bros. suggestion- filled out an online app, and an hour later received an email with a "real app" to fill out and them wanting a 3 year old driving record..... wont get my hopes up because i THINK it was a computer generated email, but if it wasn't i JUST may have found the one gig that could/would keep me from doing a refresher with a starter otr company!... going to get a mvr printout, and drop off the "real app" tomorrow!

    Dude Fuel Delivery Service and Williams Tank Lines will hire you to haul fuel. Williams is always hiring it seems like. Both are hiring in San Jose and Stockton.

    Carry blows flour for con agra and delivers to bakeries. They pay percentage. Used to drive for them but didnt last. Job is boring and the percentage pay im not a fan of.

    Check ponder environmental in benecia or nrc in alameda. They might give you a go. Ponder has some nice equipment and they do alot of refinery work in richmond. Kag west, trimac in pittsburg. There are alot of companies in the bay to haul tanks for. Good luck with your search.

    Carry out of Stockton is a great company but they rarely hire. Check out Indian River Transport. They have a terminal in Turlock and would run you on the I5 fleet. You will hear good and bad about every company. I was with them for 9 months in 2012 until my old job called me back (non driving by the hr). I enjoyed working there, good equipment and they do not micro manage you. You won't get rich but they will keep you busy.
