New CDL Driver for tanker work

I’m in Tennessee, 1.5 hourish from Nashville and Jackson the other. I’ve recently graduated a training program and recieved my CDL. I have a Tanker endorsment already, working on getting my hazmat to go with it. I’m trying to gather some information on companies,that will hire New CDL graduates, and possibly train in the tanker industry. I understand that getting hired on for a fuel job is probably not going to happen right out of the gate, but I mean what about non-hazmat, food grade, pneumatic, vacuum. I’m just trying to get in the door of the tanker line up. Not sure what companies offer that type of stuff in my region having a few issues, may have to broaden my spectrum a little bit. However I’m not really wanting to go some of these “welfare” “high schooling” companies hauling dry van if avoidable. Would love to stay in the region as well.

 

Thank you all for the responses. Definitely some more companies to look at and hopefully get started. Thank you

 

Thank you, I had tried them as well but unfortunately I need 12 months experience before KAG will take me
