Schneider tanker for a newbie

Absolutely,tankers are an excellent choice, this part of the industry is always hiring, seems like not a lot of drivers want to do this type of work and I don't know why because the money is excellent.
You should contact Schneider and ask if the school your looking at is n their approved list.
Stick with them a year and keep your license clean and you'll be amazed at what money can be made.

Can't answer about Schneider, I'm regional and home at least 5 nights a week, maybe 1-2 overnight a week, pretty much everything I do can be turned in the same day I have a dedicated route so its load out straight back empty

Yes, go tanker, good money. Here's some more that hire new CDL grads, but Schneider Bulk is a good choice. After 6-12 months experience you can find a local job if that's what you want.

Trimac
Superior Carriers

I almost went with Schneider tanker after school. At the time there was a nice sign-on bonus (paid out in increments over a year), & they said you could pick 6 days per month to be home. Was talking with one of their drivers the other day. It was his first driving job, & had been at it for about 4 months. I asked him how true to their word they were about letting him pick his 6 days for hometime. He said that so far they'd given him the 6 days he wanted each month. When I was talking with Schneider, the recruiter in the area I'd have been driving out of said that most of the drivers picked 3 weekends & as far as she knew it wasn't a problem; actually worked out well.

 

Everything I've heard and read it would be a great way to start, pays well especially for your first driving job and is a great way to open some more doors as well.
