thoughts on these?

Hi Avenger, of those, I'd go with Millis. You could try H.O. Wolding, JJ Transport in Jackson ( they do a lot of Quad Graphic stuff), or there's several in the Fox Valley area, ( Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du lac). Btw, If they have forward facing cameras, it's just as easy to have driver cameras and not tell you about it. I think cameras of all kinds will make their way into all trucks eventually, as it's the only evidence that holds up in court. Good luck.

 

Good Choices.

Better than most noobs pick.

Good Luck.

Merry Christmas !

 

If it were me I'd go with Schneider tanks.

How old are you op? If you're already retired, I'd say go for it. Otherwise keep in mind you'll obviously take a paycut most likely.

Realistically you'll probably make maybe 45,000 with those companies you named your first year.

Also in this industry, health insurance really is a joke despite what some ignorant people claim. I mean we're talking 1k deductibles and $35 copay on average. Rates for a family are pretty high too, that's something you have to keep in mind. Good luck whatever you decide and may the force be with you

 

Same to you, pup

 

Many reasons to go with tankers and pay is only one of them.
Usually, on average, takes an hour to load/unload and the customers are glad to see you.
You'll meet lots of smart people and in many cases well educated people at chemical plants as opposed to the village idiots and town misfits at grocery warehouses drivers have to deal with pulling vans & reefers.
Accessorial pays are usually much better with tanker outfits. Schneider Bulk is an excellent place to start and in a year can move on, if you wish, to even better tanker companies; some paying over $100K.
