Looked at Melton, got a "pre acceptance" and email. Then that following Monday a "we selected other applicants". I'm guessing that was probably my lack of any work history as I have nothing on my MVR or criminal history at all, ever. I tried contacting the recruiter since to ask why but always get voicemail. I can always revisit them once I've got work history and especially driving experience in a year or so when my wife and I are looking to move.

Travis, another 'smaller' place you could check out, is Witte Bros. ~ our own Kevin started with them, and he has a bit of a diary, in that section.

Since you DO have your CDLA; have you tried HERE?!? >Apply For Truck Driving Jobs

Have you looked at Melton? (Flatbed; quite popular with some peeps on here; do a search.) Keen ? Keim ? How about Hogan ? There are SO MANY great places to start. A few of our TT peeps are with May; Pianoman did some hauling for System Transport, too! Heck, have you read Old School's posts? He's even got a Word Press Blogspot, in his profile.

I JUST thought of another one! Cardinal Logistics / Redbird. They have vans (reefers too?) and CERTAINLY tanks, as you move up the ladder! A great pal of mine just joined their ranks!

Hang in, and hang on. PJ knows the HECK about tank hauling. It's not a starting gate, as we ALL have said. Can't explain/emphasize, enough.

Wish you luck, good sir. Kick it with the skateboarders, you may NEVER wanna TANKl~!! confused.gif

Best always;

~ Anne & Tom ~

ps: Hope the new family is doing AWESOME!
