No, not difficult. It does require one to be more aggressive with the applications. Several drivers on this forum found very good jobs immediately after CDL graduation, such as with Loves Truckstops hauling diesel, CTL hauling acid, and other chemical tanker companies.

 

Smart move on your part. Food grade/tanker doesn't usually pay as well as hazmat/tanker annually; but, both provide a very good living. Once you get into hazmat, plan on making $60K + annually. You can do this within 12-24 months. If the only tanker job you can find right now is food grade, take it to get your tanker experience started.

 

Hey Chinatown what do you mean by "more aggressive?"
thanks.
