They treated me great. I got to spend a week in Florida for orientation and I was able to do my training locally.

I think part of it is that the company hauls a lot of acids so you had to wear the pickle suit a lot. I drive a haz-mat tanker and only had to wear the green pickle suit twice in 4 months.

It was horrible the first time, 95 degrees in Illinois in August at 1:00pm lol. But the 2nd time it was October in Toledo, OH and it was like 30 degrees at 8:00am, so it was quite comfortable.

Hey Corinthian, sorry that first idea didn't pan out but thanks a million for sharing that with us! I pulled a food-grade tanker for a year one time and I absolutely loved it! I've always recommended to people who are interested in pulling a tanker to go for food grade and stay away from the chemicals.

Who wants to wear a Hazmat suit, pull Hazmat loads like sulfuric acid, and spend your time in nasty chemical plants when for the same money you can pull orange juice, honey, and cream from places like dairies and orchards, right???? If you like tanker, speak with some of the food grade companies. Otherwise get some experience with dry van and see where life takes you.

But thanks again for sharing that information. It will be incredibly helpful for anyone considering pulling a chemical tanker!
