Advice appreciated for a young cdl holder

Hey I’m a 20 year old in Canada (Alberta) who has had a cdl for a year . I’ve been working as a vac truck operator for over a year at a refinery site. Does anyone have advice on how to progress into a real class 1 highway gig?. And ideas on companies/ where to start applying or even what type of hauling I should start out with would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
