Schneider National Tanker Drivers

Yes you can float them. It actually causes less surge in the lower gears. Helps to skip some going up as well. The bump can actually help you grab a higher gear. With experience you learn when its coming and develop habits to work with it. It also settles down on the interstate.

 

Schnieder is one of the few tank companies that will take a new grad out of school so if you know you want tanks they are a good place to start. Before doing that however I would knock on a few doors af the better outfits.

A face to face and an attitude of wanting a career rather than a stopping off point on the way to something else might get you hired. Terminal managers often have a lot of pull. If they have 2 applications on the desk, one pulled a box and the other pulled a tank for Schnieder guess who they will hire all other things being equal.

 

Officially no.

I did talk to a new driver not long ago out of the Spartanburg SC terminal who got hired out of a truck driving class in Greenville SC a little over a year ago. Its no coincidence that the training academy is located at that terminal.

In NJ I doubt they would. The problem is extended training and trainers. The NJ terminals are based at tank washes without shops. Keasby is a trailer and has very little going on. Paulsboro is at the Dana tankwash and would be the best place to look in NJ.
