I been driving for two months. I just got approve for my hazmat endorsement... I'll like to drive tanker. Do anyone know a good company to apply for? I'm in the Houston Texas area. I don't want to drive OTR. I talk to Schneider but they train in manual, I believe I forgot how to drive that. But I did tested in a manual...Any suggesting on a good company because i do need the experience???

So you forgot the manual transmission,is there any reason why you don't wanna relearn?With only 2 months exp I would suggest OTR and if they only have manual so what learn it.
TruckerPat Thanks this. -
If they will let me refresh myself with it I would definitely do it @pattyj

Pretty sure SVTN uses automatics.(SVTN.com)
Best to call each company and ask if they have automatics.
Try these also that hire new cdl grads:
CTL Transportation
Tidewater Transit
Trimac Transportation
Superior-Carriers
McKenzie Tank Lines
All the above have terminals in the Houston area and hire new cdl grads.Last edited: Mar 11, 2017

You'll need more than hazmat endorsement to pull a tanker. I'm assuming you have your tank endorsement?
-
Yes. I been had the tanker when I got my licence. I also just receive my Twic card as well @HotH2o

Right on brother! Tankers is where it's at

With only 2 months driving experience, i suggest you stay with your current company. Changing companies too often will limit your opportunities with the good companies. Any company desperate enough to hire a new driver with multiple jobs in the last year will not pay well nor treat their drivers well.
I have friends that haul hazmat tankers right out of driving school but they only drive bobtail with no trailer and class B only. If you want local, you might consider hauling waste or recycle oil for the local companies. As for fuel , chemical and propane hauling with tractor trailer, they all wants years of experience.TruckerPat Thanks this. -
