    So the wife interviewed for a position in West Columbia, SC, and if she's hired, we'll be moving to the general area.

    I'm looking for local home daily tanker work, preferably dry bulk. I know some of the bigger tank companies (Venezia comes to mind) have terminals and yards down that way. But I'd rather find a smaller, well run operation similar to where I'm at now.

    So anybody have any suggestions?

    I was doing some quick searching on the web, and found a few places, one in particular is Puryear Tank Lines. There's some other things I've been considering as well, but tanker work is my preference. And if I need to get HazMat, I'm open to the idea as well. Just looking for a good company that lets me go do my job and doesn't have all the nanny cameras and crash avoidance stuff to harass me about.

    Don't know if this is still current as A&R was bought and is called Quantix?

    could try local cement companies, they need bulk drivers.

    I think SEFA has a terminal in Columbia. I don’t know anything about them other than I see them a lot.
