Hi, I’ve not posted in a while, but I’m still out here driving. Just passed the 4 year mark. I’ve been with my current company since leaving Millis transfer at the one year mark. I’m happy where I’m at but I have been wanting to try something new. I’ve done dry and refer vans only but I’m interested in trying out a tanker job. Any good suggestions on a company in Ohio that would be a good place to go? I’ve got tank and hazmat endorsement already and I had the automatic restriction removed just because I wanted it off my cdl. So no restrictions, all the endorsements and a clean record. My current company is great, they just don’t have any options besides van and refer. I feel like at this point in my career I’m making decent money but i could always go higher and I think I’ve got enough experience to be able to go wherever I want.. I just don’t want to job hop so that’s why I’m asking for suggestions.

I've heard Gemini Transport is a good one, same with PFJ. Me personally, I'd take a look into Sheetz. I've heard they're a really good company to work for in terms of driving, but I'm not sure if there are any local to you.

Thanks. My cousin works for Gemini and likes it. They have local to me but not many openings. I’ll check those three out.

I've seen Clean Harbors trucks in many areas around the US. I looked them up, they require Hazmat for their class A drivers.
