Tanker Work out of SE PA for New CDL Driver?

Do you plan on hauling hazmat? You may have to backup to a loading or inside a building. It is wise to be able to handle your equipment in all situations you never no what you may encounter in your line of work. As you stated tankers are a lot more challenging because of the liquid & as far (freight ) come apart a tanker valve came open a couple of years back on turnpike caused a million dollar worth of damage to cars & roadway. I would check with Schneider they have a tanker division or bulk hauling companies if you want to get into that type of work. I encourage you on your journey & hope you achieve your goals

 

i don't know of any companies that only haul one dedicated product.. and even then, i doubt you would get something like that with no experience. Schneider bulk is a good choice if you don't need a whole lot of money to survive, they're very slow right now but you will learn everything you need to know about pulling a tank.

i used to pull a tank and backed in to docks, they wheel over a pump and throw a hose down and you connect it to your tank. also, some of the chemical plants you will visit were designed back when they only had straight trucks.. at least they feel that way.. you will back in to some really tight places. but it's still more fun than pulling a box.
