Very helpful brother! I’ve been driving for schneider on the Dry Van side, and just put a job change to be a Tanker. This encourages me to go thru it

Your channel is very instructive, I just had my Cdl, I also just passed my Hazmat exam, next week I have an appointment for the tanker exam, without any experience, I am almost ready to apply for Schneider, many good things that n your career.

I had only 3 months (total cdl driving experience) or so of dry van driving w/Schneider and went to the bulk training as an experienced driver. The only hard part about the training was that I went in July. It was hot as hell in Houston during that time! It was so hot, I almost quit the training. I'm a big guy so you can imagine the time I was having in that damn heat and humidity. Overall, it's good training. I'm still a local bulk driver working out of the Wilmer OC. Great video!!

starting with schneider on the 25th on their tanker division i know the pay might suck but i am young with not big responsibilities i want my training and after a year go with a better company

Thank you so much l.

I used to run dry van for schneider for almost 6months..I hated it. Their training was A+ is the only good thing. I hope your experience is better, it does vary. I do have my tanker endorsement, I'm still finding my way on the direction I want to go🙏🏽💕

When I was doing the tanker work for Schneider I thought that the tanker drivers got preferential treatment compared to dry van drivers in my opinion, so I could understand that. But I agree, as I always say your experience will vary and best of luck figuring out what’s next for you

Like he said, Schneider is an entry level company with some of the best training! I'm 30 plus years veteran Professional Truck Driver & I had a homeboy that got his CDL & tanker training at Schneider & then got his own truck & went to BRUCE OAKLEY & drove bulk tanker for a couple of years or long enough to pay for that blower & then he took his truck & went to Texas & made big money hauling frack sand! So it depends on where you're at & what you're trying to accomplish! Like I said, I'm 30 plus years Professional Truck Driver but I've never driven tanker! I've hauled lots of liquid totes but not tanker & so the training would be a win for me & i'm in Atlanta & good trucking jobs are hard to find at this time & I have all endorsements plus Twic so I'll make more than the bottom pay coming in the door! Hang here about 6 months to a year & get drafted to a better paying company or get your own truck. Tanker owner operators make good money 💰💰💰

Bro thanks for the valuable content. They only post OTR tanker positions in Houston lately. If I wanna do regional/dedicated do I need to wait or can I just apply under the OTR. Thanks man. Im subscribing

Thanks for this info bro. It sounds so positive. You still with them doing tanker, how is it ? I’m about to apply with them as I want an A class training start to a hazmat tanker career. Do they accommodate automatic shifting drivers ? my stick shifting is rusty.

I sat through the video and was interested in shnider all the way up to hearing what the pay was...i have 5 years in, never pulled tanker...but would like to get my experience with a respected company like schnider...unfortunately, there is no way in hell im starting out making 800$ a week " just to gain experience" screw that! I see alot of these tanker companies out here want you to have all this experience before they even look at you....if thats the case, then so be it...there is always LTL, and not tanker hazmat that pay great....you can make an easy 1800$ a week pulling a dry van with the right company.

I actually drive for Schneider, right now and my question is do they provide you with all the endorsement and hazmat?

You need your tanker endorsement first but they will let you deliver non-hazmat loads until you get your hazmat endorsement. I believe they give you 30-60 days after you complete school to get your hazmat endorsement.

I've had my CDLA since 2019. I have worked in the Construction industry since driving dump trucks and water trucks. I'm currently at $29hr and work about 60hours a week, paid weekly. I considered trucking but it's just not the right time financially. I can't work in a industry that isn't consistent with pay, home time and HOS.

You can run propane too locally 23/24 hr. My area they start at 25/hr no exp. Do your contract and get out. Thats what i did. 700$ a week otr is not the way to go. Do your research and have a plan.
