Hey truckers! I’m currently studying to get my cdl. I’m planning on going to us truck driver training school (Sterling Heights). The plan is to get into hazmat tanker. I’m going to get full endorsements before I graduate. I want to get 2 years of otr and tanker experience. Hoping anyone can bless me with some information on companies that will hire recent grads and can train tanker and offer otr in the metro Detroit area. Thank you for any replies! Stay safe out there

Yeah I’ll have to dig a little more in what they have to offer. Thanks

They're the only company that will let someone pull a tanker straight out of school

Hazmat tanker jobs in Michigan are mostly based around Midland and Dow Chemical. With that said no one is hiring you out of school to pull dangerous chemicals OTR. If I were you I'd try to get into Meijer or something hauling groceries down there.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I know it’s damn near impossible to get hired right out of school into hazmat. What I’m looking for is a company that I can haul anything with a tanker. I want to kill two birds with one stone. Get my experience with both tanker and otr in my first two years.
