    I had asked for info on these two in another post but did not get any so I thought I might get a better response if it was in the title. I am located west of Atlanta, have my hazmat and am taking the tanker test this week and planning on putting in applications. Looking for out and back runs and weekends off. Any info on these companies would be great or other company recommendations. Thanks for your help.

    Rogers Cartage is a division of Tankstar. You can make a good living there, but it's a cheapskate outfit. They run Elogs. The big boys in Milwaukee have a habit of firing terminal managers, office people, etc, to cut costs, but don't mess with the drivers.

    Superior Carriers would be much better than Rogers.

    Florida Rock & Tank probably be home daily or weekly, but from what I understand the pay isn't too good.

    Most tanker companies pull out of Savannah; Superior Carriers, Trimac, CTL Transportation, SVTN, Miller Transporters.

    A&R Transport is an excellent company & drivers make $65K - $72K per year. Terminal in Atlanta. Good website to look at.

    In case anyone is looking for info on MC tank they are firm on 2 years experience. It sounded like a good job. Oh well the search continues.

    That kind of surprises me. They have the crappiest equipment I have ever seen. I can't recall ever seeing a new truck of theirs. I have been to many of their terminals too.

    The recruiter told me the insurance would not let them take anyone with less than 2 years. Said they just bought out another company in Dalton, ga and needed drivers. If there equipment is bad maybe I dodged a bullet. Thanks for the reply. I hope to get more applications in this weekend.
