    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!!

    • @MrBigR928
      @MrBigR928 Рік тому +12

      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 💰💰💰

      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.

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.
