Is Schneider's tanker training a good first step to getting into fuel hauling?

I'm currently driving for a different mega, almost at 3 months experience. I was thinking of staying until 6 months then joining Schneider for tanker training. Then after I have 1 year total, start looking for real jobs.

I didn't realize tankers would be something I wanted to get into until after I started driving, and I'm with a dry van/reefer only company, so I'm looking at switching. I have the endorsement. Still need to get my hazmat though.

Any tips in general for going down the path into fuel hauling would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: located in southern Arizona if that matters
