    Indian river is up on my list for food grade, but I'm looking to make better money with chemical/hazmat.

    I pull flatbed right now. I would have to be trained on tankers. I'm under the assumption most companies will train the right candidates?

    Check out Quality carriers website you will find all term. locations with all their affiliates see if one is close to you, they'll train you, Each affiliate is run different. I know here they are hurting for drivers

    Trimac (chemical)...driver named Ethos on here works for them. There are a bunch of good food grade companies in the Midwest that pay well and....pay detention...no gimmicks...home everyday.

    Yes I did, I heard the same about different Affiliates, I worked for Triangle trans. and was happy there, was treated good and made very good money. I just hooked up with a job that pays hourly w/ot after 8 and home every night and its 5 min from home

    I have spoken to ethos about trimac. I think they're incredibly hard to get on with, but doesn't hurt to try. Are you talking about Caledonia Haulers and such? Or smaller based companies?
