I would have gone into tankers right out of the gate, Theres some really good money to be made look into private fleets, Univar, Nalco, Nexio, airgas, ect... the list goes on.
Get that 1st. yr. under your belt, take it slow, easy and safe keep your lic. clean and great jobs can be foundJustWannaBeComfortable, G13Tomcat and Moneyhungrytrucker Thank this. -
For tankers, Schneider Bulk is a good place to get started.
Here's some others that hire new cdl grads, but not sure which hire out of your area. Keep in mind, just because a website has "experience requried" doesn't mean it's so. Apply anyway.
Schneider Bulk
Trimac Transportation
Superior-Carriers
Tidewater Transit
CTL Transportation
SVTN
McKenzie Tank Lines
Girton Propane Service

If tankers don't work out for you, try Magnum Ltd. which is refrigerated. Those drivers make $1000 - $1500 weekly; that's what they tell me.
Freymiller is another good refrigerated company.Last edited: Apr 21, 2017

Some company do have a guaranteed weekly pay. I work for one and we can only get about 2,500-2,800 miles a weeks.
Running as a trainer you could do it easy because they run then as teams. 5,000 miles a week *36 would be $1,800 but that 1,200 miles and two guys in truck. It's no easy job, I did that also it just not fun. Students wake you up and says they are at the end highway and on a two lane road and have no idea were they are. -
Some tanker outfits pay the driver extra to fuel the truck, pre-trip inspection, post-trip inspection, layover pay, 34 hr. reset pay, detention pay at tankwash, and other things.Last edited: Apr 21, 2017
