I hope there's people watching this that the lightbulb goes on. For a few thousand dollars of CDL school (or free!) you have a pretty clear path to six figures in a short period of time. No college debt, just be ready to work. Start on food service, work hard, get experience then drive a tanker if you want. There are a lot more difficult jobs that pay less-you don't have to keep working them. This stuff could change someones life for real.

Got my CDL at 21 years old. 34 years old now. Driving here in Dallas, Tx. Driving for a company locally taking home 6 figures. Sounds pretty unheard of. Have drove for a lot of big companies over the years. My advice would be to get all your endorsements especially Hazmat. Don’t be afraid to leave a job if you’re not happy. I’m on my 4th company this year til I got what made me happy!! Take advantage of having the upper hand in this field. You don’t have to settle!!!

This is a good job. Also another slept on job many drivers have probably never heard of in tanker is admix chemical tanker driver. I’m making 120k here in Florida , weekends off and every holiday off and they let me choose my bday as my floating holiday. I control my own schedule for now , I’m home every night and sleep in my own bed , the work is easy on your body … the hoses use an electric hose reel y’all!! Cmon I’m female and I stand at 5’3” and weigh 130 lbs. I’ve been doing this for 14 years and I promise y’all not one day do I ever dread going to work. Me and my coworkers are truly blessed.

Before you even get into a truck, once you got your CDL, go get your Hazmat, doubles and tanker endorsements and a TWIC. As long as you keep a clean record, you will never be without a job!

Messer Gases, Linde, Air Products, Air Liquide, Genox, and the list goes on. All the cryogenic gas haulers make great money 80-130k easily. I was on a team truck for my last trucking job, it is VERY EASY WORK.

I got in at 20 with a free class B license (company paid training), then got my class A for free (state grant) at 23. I'm 25 now and have twic + all endorsements and pull fuel local with no college debt. I gross around 97k a year

I work in cryogenics and it's very slept on. This is NOT a field for reckless drivers and most companies in this field have front-facing cameras and you're not allowed to use your cell phone while you're driving at all. Not even hands-free. We also can't take all of the routes non-hazmat trucks can take so it takes some trip planning. But I honestly can say I love it over here. No bumping docks. I do straight drop and hook but most local jobs you WILL be loading and unloading even with AirProducts, AirGas, Air Liquide, etc. So don't all come running over here at once thinking you're just gonna pull up and someone is going to unload for you, that's not what that description meant. Just that the heaviest thing you'll lift is the hoses. Take the time and consider if it's a right fit for you or not.

I’m saving up for CDL school in NYC (50 classes for $5k). I’ll be ready by December/early January. I’m 27. Ready to change my life around. Haven’t had anything close to a 6 figure salary job and I am willing to sacrifice a lot to get there. Plan on trucking for 4-6 years while investing in stocks/ real estate. But I am excited for trucking nonetheless, thank you for these videos. Please keep it up

Damn Anthony you gonna be killing the trucking game. You definitely can't go wrong getting your endorsements. The sooner you get it the better off you are.

Thank you for the work! Changing peoples outlook on different opportunity's out here!

This is what I'm talking about... fresh information! Thanks Brother!!!

Thats true my kinfolk makes about $2,300 a week home every night off weekends

LTL is pretty sweet also. I work R&L carries, by far the best job in my 20 years trucking.

Thanks bro straight to the point 👏🏼

I appreciate the information on hazmat tankers. I look forward to hearing about more hazmat tankers companies in future videos.

Im currently hauling bulk cement and chicken feed locally/short regional. A lil over 3 months in. I have all my endorsements but it wasnt required for this job in particular. I am getting experience with a pneumatic tank trailer. After 1-2 years I’m looking to haul fuel or perhaps chemicals. Just trying to enjoy the ride for now!

Another division idk if you've covered yet is hauling from a feed mill to farms. I used to do that. Switched to gfs when I moved to another state because of better pay and exercise. But I really enjoyed grain hauling and still miss it.

Great video! I dispatch but my son is interested in trucking. I'm going to share this video with him. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

I appreciate you for making this video. I shared it on my FB page.

Thanks! great video as always. Just wanted to mention that for tanker jobs, often time they require to have the TWIC card along the endorsements you mentioned to be able to get in some plants. I left Performance food group and found me a tanker job and I love it!

Got my CDL at 21 yrs old now 75 still driving and hazmat also

I am a construction manager for Air Products and I travel all over for them nationwide. I can confirm that they do make good money. They also get breakfast and lunch at the plant. Fuel and DEF is onsite as well.

Currently in the process obtaining all 3 endorsements and it definitely opens up better jobs. I’m definitely going to look at some tanker jobs real soon

Appreciate you Good Brother and the information the more you know the more you grow

Crazy tanker is top of the line in trucking to make solid money I’ll be getting my hazmat here soon in a week or two

I’m about 2 months in to the Trucking sector working hard but it’s paying off so well. I love doing it too

I haul cryogenics as a company driver (not with AP) but do it OTR. Love what I do...been in it about 4 1/2 years. Last year I made 6 figures. Working on becoming an O/O next year.

Great video, very informative. I'm in Cleveland also, west of the city so listening to you makes it even more interesting. Still considering whether to take the plunge into trucking or not since I'm north of 50.

Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

29 years old, 5 years in law enforcement and 7 years in the military! Still broke af! I need this job in my life

Very nice video almost like the best kept secret. Great advice on adding endorsements you'll always be able to eat👍

Great content bro! I got my CDL in February, got all my endorsements and TWIC and in 10 weeks landed a tanker job, even though I was told that it wouldn’t happen without two years experience. Never going haul anything else 😂

Anthony, I think I saw your videos about a year ago on foodservice. If I’m not mistaken you had about 1,000 subs. You just popped back up on my feed and I’m glad to see you killing it my man. Keep doing your thing.

Great video & topic your right about the endorsements I have all of mine plus my twic card! I will have 2 years with schneider in January & blessed but looking to take the next step & use my endorsements to separate myself 🙏🏾

Brother, you’re really out here doing your thing. Keep up the amazing work 💯💯💯

I started with tanker luckily. I drove everything but flatbed now and I want to go back to tanker. This is a nice job listing. Too bad they don't have it in Dallas.

I work for a contractor that airproducts uses sometime when they get overloaded with work and this is easy and clean work, and whenever our compnay runs with Airproducts we would be home almost every night depending whats going on

Bro, thank you so much for this video! I watched this video a few months ago and couldn’t believe it. I’ve been driving for over 4 years. And when I watched this video you motivated me to stop procrastinating and finally test and get my Hazmat. Skip forward a few months and I’m on my way now to sign an offer letter for employment with a competitor of this company doing the same job. I’ll be starting with Matheson Tri-Gas here in Irving, TX soon. Id love to fill you in on the training and every day work life once I’m deeper into the job. Again, thank you so much for motivating me to take a step for something I’ve been putting off from the beginning of my trucking career. Keep doing what you’re doing brotha.

Air products has an academy mainly focused on veterans. I stepped out of CDL school into air products fresh out of the military.

My brother I have all my endorsement except passenger and having all endorsement you work wherever I work for Air products it's great job.

Thank you, brother.

I just found your channel and subscribed. Very informative and helpful channel you have ...thank you for all the information that you put out.

I work in this industry of transportation. It's called cryogenics. The companies out there are pretty much owned by the same group. Linde, Messer, Airgas, Airproducts, Praxair etc. I currently make around $120k to $130k a year. I work 5 days a week and only work about 10-11 hours a day, sometimes 8 hours. We have a 55 hour work week, anything over that is overtime. Training for this job took about 2 months. You also have to have Hazmat and Tanker Endorsements. You have to have 2 years minimum of driving experience.

Getting into it next month. All signed up with a local school, full scholarship through a government workforce grant. Going for my hazmat endorsement as soon as possible. I've got plenty of experience driving straight trucks, living on the road (camping in a converted truck bed), driving manual for a decade, no spouse or dependents... I think it'll be a good fit. Excited for this next chapter of life. Cheers bro, thank you for all the info.

I actually just got on with a similar company 3 months ago in tx. I’m loving it. Very easy work and very good money. I’m making about 90k just starting out. Definitely recommend this type of work.

Have one of these companies about 30minutes away from home. Just picked up my hazmat and tanker today. Definitely gonna try this company

I drove diesel at $37 an hour monday to friday around 11 hours per day so overtime was sweet some guys were doing 13 hours day i left it to drive days less pay but more quality time.

Great content & information brother!

I had an opportunity to work for them through another guy that works for them but I passed on it. I was waiting for my authority to be approved, but otherwise I would've rolled with them.

Great content bro keeping me motivated

I worked there as a driver less than a year. They do make good money, but if you’re ok with being off on a set schedule. That’s good job for you. But it will be a long long time before you have a weekend off. Was not for me. Went back to fuel as an owner operator.

Planning on getting my Hazmat as soon as I turn 23 but in the mean time I’ll rack up my driving experience

I work cryo. 5 days a week, home every night and did $134,000 last year(2022) Don't like wearing a paid for uniform? Then stick with freight and sticky showers..lol

Just have my Hazmat last Friday very easy imma get my tanker too .. great video bro

What these people say is true about pay but it comes with draw backs. There's really only 5 cryogenic gas companies in the US that'll pay over 120k to start. But people never really mention the negatives so I will: 1) forward/ rear facing cameras 24/7 record 2) no phone policy "I keep mine in my lunch box". 3) quarterly safety meetings mandatory 4) 4-6 sec following distance @all times 5) cones out when backing 6) safety- spy checks (someone follow you making sure driving/ unloading procedures are followed). Done randomly 7) must drive below posted speed limit 8) no eating behind the wheel 9) no cb radio 10) annual ride alongs Some rules can be bent. But if you break no.2 you're terminated on the spot. If you break the others you may be coached but multiple offenses you will be terminated. These jobs have higher turnover rates bc of their safety policies but if you can follow them you will enjoy your job. F.Y.I Linde or now in USA called (linde plc) pays the most! On the ASU side any way.

you may have load your trailer before and after it depends on what terminal you assigned to they have cameras inside and out to monitor your driving conditions and habits, the pay is sub par it’s okay if you don’t know any better, also you’ve have to do positioning of the truck and trailer to connect the hose to the tank you’re required to fill, also your required to wear fire retardant clothing year round!

You forgot the best part. APCI Cleveland is a union shop; Steelworkers. They mainly haul LIN LOX and LAR. Middletown is also a union gig Locol 100! Good company. If I had my choice I’d choose Middletown. Also, this gig isn’t for everyone. It’s Hazmat for a reason. You can get seriously hurt or hurt others. They also are very selective with who they hire. They want the cream.

I worked for cryogenic companies(Cryogenic transportation and Airgas/Air liquide) and they have the best insurance for their employees. But they are anal about safety cameras everywhere. Not that it's a bad thing. A lot of older truck drivers work for most of these companies so you'll be at the bottom of seniority for a few years. But if you have a young family this is the way to go. Leave full come back empty. But it's hazmat for a reason cryogenic means colder than anything you will ever experience.

Work on providence area...made a125k last year for a 5 day work week ... hauling fuel...home every night..good union shop...easy work.. little stress

I worked for them. Good company.

This is true information a very Great company.

Appreciated bro, new subscriber 🙏🏽

Thank you for the intell I'll check that out.

I just started following you but I’m getting my Cdl soon

Got my tanker and hazmat endorsement a fee month ago best move I ever mademad I didn't do it sooner

I'm a woman and I'm a little fed up with all the office jobs, call center jobs, social work jobs, I'm seriously thinking of driving

Establishing a consistent work history is very important. Three years of experience does not mean you have had five or six jobs in three years. Those kind of drivers are called job hoppers and a good company won't even consider you.

Great video and straight to the point just subscribe

Also that company called GENOX they pay pretty gooddddd 💪🏾 nice VIDEO 💪🏾

Good info appreciate that

Thanks bro

Great company , great job

Do your due diligence on the trucking school you are looking to attend. I lost 5k for being naive and not doing this. Met this guy who works for a school and he said he had his own company. The guy kept calling me, urging me to get my permit and sold me on this idea of obtaining my CDL. I obtained it last December and I had a few training sessions. I took my first test in January and failed my pre trip. Took my 2nd test in April and failed due to parallel parking. Every time I called him so I can practice there was always an excuse, truck broke down, the clutch broke, I’m out of town. I finally just took it as a loss. Here I am today, 10 months in and no CDL and paying off a 5k loan. Do your due diligence guys, men today no longer value their word. Growing up I was always taught that as a man our word is our bond but unfortunately today those days are long gone.

Salute bro

I’m a 29 year air products driver

Passed my general knowledge and p and school bus endorsements next is air brake tomorrow 🙏

Those 12 hour a day driving jobs suck. Find a company where you average 10 hours a day. You don't have a life working 12 or more hours a day, five days a week. It's not bad if you are working 12 hours a day if it's a 4 day work week.

Yup a guy I worked with at JB went there. Said he makes 6 figs

Don’t forget Rail Road jobs like freight conductor starts 100k, $5k to start! Union job, No social security payments only a large pension! Must travel no drugs and must have high school diploma 👍🏿 CN rail and CP hiring! I love it❤️ This job is great if u are right out of high school and want big boy bucks. U wanna get away from your baby mama or like traveling. Don’t want to stay in parents basement forever! Don’t want to join military this is the job for you! Many women work there too not only for men! Downside you won’t be home much, no hanging out with friends or hanging with girlfriends. But if u don’t have money in your pocket what does all that matter. Once your pocket is full all that will be waiting for you 😁 There are guys here who drive Porsche’s, Lincoln’s and Ford Raptors everyday to work and they have only been here 5 years. Think about that!

I did cryogenics and the money is amazing.

I pull tanker fuel hauling I make 32.50 an hr time in half after 40 I make 90k + a year

I just started with Air products. I’m working out of the Butler Indiana terminal. I’m in the process of training. I spent the first week on the computer training learning about the company and what they expect and the rules regulations. The driver are regulated by the FDA because they haul medical and food grade liquids. I also have to have a passport and able to cross into Canada from time to time. It’s a slip seat job. No assigned trucks or trailer you just get what you are assigned for the day. 100% safety. Zero tolerance phone usage while in the truck and driving. They will terminate immediately if they catch you on the phone. They do have driver facing camera and all kinds of stuff in the truck to make sure you are being legal and safe.

With your tanker and hazmat endorsements, and at least a year experience, you can go anywhere in the country and drive local.

I haul Liquid Nitrogen everyday. The easiest money ever. Ģross around $3200 every week. Tanker driver hauling Nitrogen & Oxygen are in very High Demand right now.

I thought about tanker. I have all my endorsements and thought I could do it. However, thanks to all the tanker drivers out there who put their "day in the life" videos on YT, I realized it's not for me. It is a younger mans job. You are right though. It is very seldom mentioned out here and you can make some serious $$$$$. You may have to work some nights and weekends but, after stacking that cash, it will be worth it!

Anything local TANK or FOOD or LINE HAUL is going to pay good

Just subscribed to your channel bro.

I drive commercial garbage trucks in Louisiana I’m between 75-80 yearly

When I was with KAG, I work about half the year and made 76k a year for two years.

Back in 80's they got pay by the load only the top driver got the good drop. While I hit the small tank, it could be up to 7 tank you have to top off. Time are show different. What they paid today

Air gas, air products, Matheson, linde, Gen ox, LGT and the company I work for southern pines we all make 130 a year but potential for more for hauling Lin an Lox with sign on bonuses. Great all great companies mans ain’t lying of course you need X endorsement cmon cmon

I’ve been driving tractor trailers in the food industry for 5 years without my endorsements. I’m definitely about to get into tankers. I’m out here tearing my body down 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dang man,great vid here. Just got my class A in August,this job sounds hella good. I’ve been doing fedex ground for 17yrs,and looking for something different. I just need that 3yr experience 😞 Is it hard to get endorsements?

Your channel is dope thanks. If you happen to know of good paying and local class A job in MD/DC area please do video on that if you don’t mind.

Damn, I'm from Cleveland too. Just live in ATL. Would've been nice.

Nice video

Get the endorsements if and when you need them. Get a Haz-mat when you go out for a job that requires it. I dropped my haz=mat when I was informed that without it I could get my license renewed by mail - without tickets. Haz-mat and TWIC are security clearances. Get them when you need them, and have your (potential) employer pick up the cost.

Just got on with AP I start 03/20/23 I'll be on the team driving side. Said they 125k/yr plus 10k sign up bonus.. can't wait to start I heard really good things about the company. Very low turnover rate. Less then 10% and half of that is because the drivers retire.

They’re 5 minutes away from me. Currently haul fuel with a year of experience but they want 2 years which is odd because I’m practically doing the same thing.

Yeah don’t go to Pepsi unless you want to work 16 hours a day in the summer with subpar equipment and a lot of tractors with no AC.
