    Got my first tanker job after four years of hauling flats and vans. I'll be hauling ethanol. I'm flying to orientation today. Ill have 2 days classroom and then 3-4 days hands on training. This was my main goal since I started driving was to pull hazmat tankers. So I plan to keep this thread updated with what I have learned and the kind of things new drivers are to be prepared for And aware of when starting new in the industry of pulling chemicals. I won't say the company just because I don't know their policies on social media and such. You can pm me though if you have any questions. I'll be running the Midwest. I'm out of oklahoma. This is a regional run getting me home every 5.5 days out and a 10hr at home during week. Tomorrow will be day one.

    Best wishes, man. You'll love it. I haul asphalt, mostly 6122 and 3257 (non hazmat, just "hot") . . . and it's very rewarding ~ as are the extra toys I get to buy since hauling vans, LoL!

    Welcome to the club driver you won't regret it. I've hauled oil,chemicals,fuel and now cryogenics. I've loved every bit of it compared to dry van.
