Tanker Trucking in Vermont
Vermont trucking is rural and dairy-heavy on I-89 and I-91; narrow roads and mountain terrain mean shorter regional hauls toward New Hampshire, New York, and Massachusetts. Tanker demand in Vermont is moderate, with fuel, chemical, and food-grade liquid work tied to terminals and plants actually located in or serving Vermont.

Tanker Trucking Jobs in Vermont — FAQs
How much do tanker truck drivers make in Vermont?
This page does not publish a dollar pay band for tanker drivers in Vermont. The figure that used to appear here was an unsourced regional multiplier, and every state in the same region showed the same band. Ask the carrier for the rate. Sign-on bonuses are widely advertised in this market, but the amount, the qualifying period and the clawback terms differ by carrier — read the offer letter rather than the recruiting ad, and ask when the money actually lands.
Do tanker drivers need a hazmat endorsement in Vermont?
A tanker (N) endorsement is required for all tanker positions in Vermont. If hauling hazardous liquids like fuel or chemicals, you also need the hazmat (H) endorsement and a TSA background check. Fuel hauling positions in Vermont are the most common tanker roles and typically require both endorsements.
Are trucking companies in Vermont hiring tanker drivers in 2026?
Yes — tanker driver demand in Vermont is moderate heading into 2026. The tanker segment in Vermont is expanding, with carriers adding routes and increasing hiring as freight volumes grow. Check individual carrier listings for current openings and application requirements in VT.
