Tanker companies in AZ?
 

HI!

I'm in my second week of school at AIT and am looking to get into tankers.
Saw the other thread about Superior hiring rookies, but I'm in Phoenix (House is +2 hours from their terminal), so the chances of this newbee getting hired is even more iffy.

Schneider doesn't have bulk ops here AFAIK.

Worked 16 years at 2 good jobs in two different states, not a job hopper, would rather go straight to a place / job type to stay.

Seems like all the tanker companies posted about are based east of the Mississippi.

Already passed my HAZMAT & Tanker tests.
Really don't like flatbed. (messing with tarps and trucks once a month at the old company yard was enough to tell it bites)

Van sounds OK.
I may go with Crete or MTC if nothing in tanker pans out.
Werner has already approved me for pre-hire (your joke here) :lol:


Anyone in Phoenix I can talk to?
One of the teachers at the school mentioned there was a Aartman milk terminal in Buckeye that got sold to (???)

Ruan bought Jim Aartman.
For Phoenix area, fuel haulers try this company, http://www.htc-llc.com/. Read more about them at this link; http://www.classadrivers.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=32620. Decent company.

I don't know enough about the Phoenix market anymore, to give anyone else. Harris is there, because ARCO/BP is their biggest customer.

Your school should be able to get you Tank Transport names that will hire new drivers.

Knight is not a bad company it appears to have the least amount of fleas for van companies in the Phoenix area.

Thanks Orangetxguy, I'll give em a call.

BigDiesel, You read my mind!
I really was thinking about starting a thread asking why so many of the worst coolie carriers are based in AZ, but don't want to be labeled a troll or whiner.
