    I’m in Texas looking for a company to work so can get my cdl and tanker experience. I’m looking to end up in a company that pays 3,000 or 4,000 per week home daily or home weekly.

    There’s no tanker companies that will touch you without at least you having your class a, tanker and hazmat.
    There’s companies that pay that, but you gotta have experience…like 10 years.
    Here’s how you get there….
    Find a community college that offers cdl school.
    Pay your way or get a grant to cover it.
    Graduate and get your x endorsement. That’s tanker and hazmat combo.
    While finishing school, apply to gas hauling companies in your area.
    Apply to a few flatbed companies too for good measure.
    If you are able to get hired on running gas, stay there at least one year.
    Current markets indicate job hoppers will have issues finding work.
    Things are thin across the board, yes, even in gas hauling.
    Expect to gross 1500+/wk or close to it.
    You’ll be home daily, good money, good times.

    Western Dairy Transport has their own cdl school in Texas. It's not hazmat, but you can still get the hazmat endorsement there. It's good tanker training also. You'll be set up well for hazmat/tankers for the future.
    Transportation, meals, lodging, hourly pay while attending the cdl school.

    I heard once you go from dairy to cryogenic they ignore your application. Because they don’t take you serious for hauling cryogenic or liquid nitrogen or whatever cryogenic is

    Well, you have to start somewhere. Unless you can attend a private or community college cdl school that's recognized by hazmat tanker companies, just do what you have to do to get started.

    Um, I realize you can't contain yourself, but this poster isn't even ready for ANYTHING. I'm not intimidated by their "handle", as it's not my religion, but this person, has no CDL, no idea what to do, doesn't even know what cryogenic is, unfamiliar with how pay works for a newbie, wants to be home daily and wants the best job right out of the box. Not asking too much. I realize this is an information site, but I did a LOT of "S" work in my life, and the luxury of this site eliminates that to some degree, but I'm sorry, people like this, that really don't have a clue as to what's involved, are usually the ones that come back here with a list of questions they never thought of.
