    CTL Transportation is an affiliate based off of Comcar, just an FYI.

    Superior Carriers would be an excellent choice, if you live within their hiring area. How close are you to Westville, Indiana? Based off the map and your location being in Indianapolis, I'd say too far. It wouldn't hurt to call; the worse they can say is no.

    I'd look into Schneider Bulk.

    Unfortunately as you've found out or will find out, not many tanker companies will hire newbies. I know, devastating. Have you given flatbed a consideration? There are a lot more opportunities to chose from for newbies!

    Generally, you only need 1 year of verifiable OTR experience (as long as you are above 25 years of age), to go and move on to a better company that will suit your needs. No, I'm not saying lower your standards, but rather find a company where you can settle/meet in the middle with, until you get that golden ticket, that will meet and/or exceed your expectations! Hell, depending on how much time you have, you could more than likely land your ideal dream trucking job, if you play your cards right: by this, I mean going and talking to companies (yes, in person - based more along the lines of local companies).

    Best of luck to you!

    Thanks, Haunted..

    So far Schneider Bulk looks like the best option.. They are the only company I can see that works with the VA.. That way I can use my GI Bill benefits..
