    Suggestion: get at least another year of CDL experience--& THEN go hazmat tanker.

    In the meantime--stick with food-grade tanker work.

    If you talk to Indian River Transport (post #3 & #24, above)--and they aren't hiring in your area, then here's another food-grade carrier option:

    Foodliner -- Locations

    Note some of the listed locations for them in New York State.

    Looks like possibly a decent commute from Long Island. :iconbiggrin:
