    Anyone been through there? Would you mind giving me a run down on what to expect? Any tips or pointers would be appreciated. Is it a "quality" experience?:biggrin_25519: I'm an experienced driver new to tankers.
    Thanks for any help.

    Been through there but it was in 2009. Was a comprehensive 4 day course. 10+ hrs a day. If you pay attention you learn a lot. Last day you'll get out and air and pump unload a trailer to get the feel of it. If you don't understand something, ask.

    Thanks for the reply kemosabi. I Just returned home from Houston. You're right, one of the most extensive orientations I've been through in my short career. The last day in full hazmat gear in 85 degree weather was fun...not. I'll be out of the Novirtus affiliate in Vancouver, Wa.
