    Thank you gdyupgal and thermos bottle for the advice and encouragement.

    Btw, thermos bottle there was already a girl who was suing them because an instructor was making racist comments. Just not a good school overall I think.

    He pretty much nailed it. I think you left out stupid plant safety videos though.

    Good for you!! I get the "you don't look like a trucker" all the time. I guess its because I look very young for my age and I am a skinny guy. Everyone told me not to drive a truck and I would hate it..... but guess what? I love it! its the best job I have ever had! Keep on rollin' and never let anyone tell you that you can't do it!

    Guess I'm pretty late to this but have you tried prime or miller transport. If you went to a CDL school try calling the terminals for what is in your area sometimes you get lucky and they will take on a trainee never hurts to try good luck and be safe

    I'm sure some of the low paying milk hauling companies are itching to get their hands on someone fresh out of truck Driving School

    Hey yall! I know this thread is super old but AI just wanted to say I'm finally entering the tanker world! I start with Groendyke tomorrow. Wish me luck!
    Btw, I revisited this thread when I decided to rejoin the thought of driving a tanker. So thank you to everyone for the information you posted here. Drive safe!

    I know it's like a year after your post but that's exactly where I'm going. I have 2 and a half years now. I hope I have a better experience than @rubberducky68.
