I'm looking to switch to tanker after doing 1yr with a mega carrier doing non-hazmat dry van. Only issue is I keep finding jobs that either want experience in tanker or 2 years of driving experience.

I've been looking at oil field related work since im home-based in west texas but most of those companies want drivers who can do manual transmission.

Sadly cdl school only had autos and I dont know any truckers who own their own truck let alone willing to teach me. Plus im fresh out of a mega carrier so im broke.

Any suggestions. I already tried KAG and indian river still waiting on a response. I tried western dairy but they declined.

Trying to avoid prime inc if I can help it. But might end up going there like I should've in the first place when I got my cdl.

I looked at Schneider but it looks like they aren't hiring in my area.

Appreciate your help drivers
