    NFI has been running ads all over the country for tanker/hazmat drivers, but it's a dry van company. Maybe check with them and find out what that's about.

    Chinatown really NFI down here I see nothing but dry vans I never seen a tanker by them that's strange thanks ill look into that. the company SVTN seems interesting because they look like they have recent model tractors. idk and kind of doubt it that companies give those recent model tractors to the grads I kind of figure experience drivers will get em and we get the old beat up ones. TMI came to our school to talk to us about the jobs they have for grads for there flatbed company. I already made the decision im not doin flatbeds or dry vans when my first job I want will be tankers hopefully with hazmat experience behind it. because I always hear tankers get paid more money then the others especially by the miles

    SVTN keeps good equipment so you will probably be assigned a nice truck. Stick with your decision to drive tanker trucks, you won't regret it.
     
    oneshyne Thanks this.

    thanks Chinatown that's like a extra attraction to me is having the latest trucks like you senior well veteran drivers. the mainthing I look forward to why I wanted Schneider is because that *6 preferred days off out of the month* that's more of working on the drivers schedule that not many OTR drivers especially dry van drivers have that advantage with a company. I see the SVTN tractors and im impressed
