    I live in the Columbia, SC area. I was curious to know whether anyone knew if there is such a thing as a tanker job with a company with no experience, straight out of school? I already have my CDL and Tanker/HazMat endorsements (Have not completed background check yet). Trying to avoid going OTR due to some health issues in family and needing to be home more often? Thought a company may want to train someone from the start who would stay with company for years to come. Have always wanted to drive tanker.

    Superior Carriers has a terminal in North Charleston, they just hired me fresh out of CDL school with no experience. I live 2.5 hours from the Lakeland, FL terminal. There definitely is such a thing :Tank truck::headbang:

    To add to this, there are a couple of ltl companies around. Estes has a terminal basically across the road from Williams Brice Stadium, with a training program also. Go gamecocks!

    Do some research on Univar and Brenntag. They are big tanker companies with local work. Also, Loves/Gemini will SOMETIMES hire newbies out of CDL school to haul DEF to truckstops.

    Schneider also hires new CDL grads for their tanker division. Looks like it is mostly OTR but there may some regional work.
