There’s a big difference between having driving experience but no tanker experience and not having driving experience and no tanker experience. I think you glossed over that. If you’re new to driving, the only company I know of that will train for tanker is Schneider. Now if you have driving experience that’s a whole different story. A clean driving record helps especially if you want to do hazmat tanker work. TWIC card is also helpful to have. If you go in already prepared that shows initiative and interest and most companies will be willing to train you. The last thing I’d say is pretend you’re hauling tanker and drive like it. That means things like looking way further ahead than you probably are when pulling a van or skateboard. Slowing down more for curves and corners. Ultra smooth shifting and acceleration and braking. Habits developed now will most certainly carry over and follow you. I did smooth bore doubles and I absolutely loved tanker work, but it’s not for everyone. It sharpened my driving skills to a whole new level. Just know there is some tanker work where you don’t get second chances and the margin for error is slim to none.

Thanks for your feedback bud but I will have to say you are correct to an extent there is plenty of companies desperate for drivers and they’ll train you for either or. It’s just all about applying yourself🤘🏽

Spot on man I’m switching from skateboarding OTR for the past few years and I’m going local. Needless to say I know I need to slow it down and drive like a grandpa for now on bc this outfit I’ll be pulling crude oil for is said to not give second chances 🤷🏾♂️

Dev the man, I tried reaching out to you via email twice and no response. The ambition I have within me to be a tanker driver is unique and like no other. Safety is the most important thing to me and that is one thing I don’t play with. Add that to my strong work ethic to get the job done, ambition to get a tanker job and succeed in that role, and dependability to get the job done, you got yourself a hell of a driver. You said you’d help me get a tanker job with no experience, is that offer still up?

@sappy4happy448, you hit the nail right on the head. You're dead on & I love the last part. No second chances and the margin for error; "slim to none." There was a driver I remembered who worked for P hauling fuel. Unfortunately, it went BAD as he tried to over correct when someone cut him off. The tanker he was driving hit the guard railing as tried to avoid them. Long story short, whenever diesel ignite it's like lava from an volcano. He crashed and his load of It burned down most a bridge. It was somewhere near in Tampa, but I want to say Tampa. This was like over 20+ years ago.

Lately, applying but getting turned down for opportunities. drove school bus for 10 years and upgraded my license to A. Did driveaway for 6 years OTR - Bobtail of commercial vehicles deliveries (no trailer). Just tryna get in without having to go OTR. thank you for sharing information.

I’ve got 38 years driving experience, 15 as an owner operator. Pulled everything but a tanker. Got hazmat, tanker, Twic etc and NOT ONE company I’ve talked to will take you without TANKER experience. I’m NOT selling my truck and trailer to apply for Prime or Schneider to pull a fricken tanker. This video is rattling BS. 👎

Checkout Penn Tanks the have a few owners. However, KAG which is Kenan Advantage Group have plenty owners. When I ran for Pilot I sold my truck a few months after I started. If I knew, what I knew now then, before I sold my truck I could've put two drivers in it. There was a Kenan driver I met back in the day had like 10 trucks. Live and learn. 😅

Hey man i got a question thats been on my mind for some time. so, ive been a class a driver for a year and a half and ive been applying to all hazmat tanker jobs that i met the minimum qualifications. i have all my endorsements and twic. i was wondering if i were to get a class b fuel tanker job driving a bobtail for 6 months or a year then going back to class a jobs, would that increase my chances of landing a class a tanker job or should i stay pulling 53ft refer trailers and waiting? any advice?

Nowadays they want experience before the pandemic you didn’t need any. No point of hauling tankers or fuel if you not doing it local. Unless you want to work for low paying job that pays 25-29 dollars an hour. And a lot of these companies make you sign a no competition contract if you quit you can’t go to another fuel hauling company. I wouldn’t haul anything under 34 dollars an hour. Especially minimum wage here in Cali is already $20 and you want me to haul a bomb for $25-29 ??? Especially what’s at stake with all the other stress and complications of truck driving has. Hell to the no !
@drzebraАй бұрын
Huh? I hauled fuel for 10 years for four companies and never signed a non-compete or heard of anyone else signing one. It's extremely common for drivers to move around between companies.

Trucking experience in general or just tanker experience? Two completely different concepts. If you don't have trucking experience at all, go to a driving school or get on with a major carrier that will do the training in house and put in your time as an over the road driver. It sucks, but it's the only sure fire way if you have no other way to break into the industry. I don't recommend tanker as a first job because there are too many other things to learn that you don't need to be worrying about when you're still learning to drive. Any tanker job is going to come with a LOT of product specific knowledge required. Learn to drive the truck first, then worry about that. After a couple of years of driving experience, the easiest way into tanker work is hauling fuel. They're always hiring and mostly your only competition is from other fuel drivers in the area moving around between companies. If your record is clean and you've got the proper endorsements, someone will hire you.

How do I get a class a tanker job with no class a experience? I have a year + of 4500-4700g tank wagon experience, twic, (tanker, hazmat, doubles and triples endorsements), clean record, carded for motiva, Valero, and citgo, port id etc. Not sure how to get out of the pigeon hole. Any recommendation? Would prefer not over the road.
