Tanker companies that hire with less than a year of experience?

I was out of driving for 2 years (oilfield) and came back to it. I did 7 months at a small company then came here to A&R. I know you need 6 months driving to come here. All they trained me on was how to operate a self loading pneumatic

 

Best I can think of is find a smalll company that will give you a chance as a stepping stone, and then come over here. This is a good place to work. I think Dart has a returning drivers program, AND I have seen a few Dart tankers and pneumatics. I don't know much about Dart though.

 

Brain fart, that was a Bay & Bay pneumatic I saw. But Dart does have a return to driving program

 

It's harder than it used to be. The post 9/11 days added background checks and such. It just takes more time really. I don't have X either. Only N for me.

 

What is orientation pay and training pay? Can't find it on the website.

 

$800 for you orientation, $800 per week training. They gave me a rental car to go to Atlanta (Morris IL for se folks) put me up in a nice hotel, and provided a big lunch.

 

A little know fact is if you do a 34 hr restart on the road they pay $300, and you have a $800 minimum pay as long as you were available all week and didn't turn down a load.
