What to expect with your trainer/ bulk division.

I didn't know schnieder had a school how does that work ? You pay upfront or they take payments out of your check? How long?

 

Well they don't actually have a school from what they told me they sponsor the school so they are paying for me to go to school and I have to sign a year contract with OTR bulk but they didn't tell me anything about paying for it which if they reimburse for school I don't think I need to but they just won't pay me for the 3 weeks I am there so I have to cover my gas since it's like 28 miles from me.

 

Ethos I had question about tanker which is how long are the trailers and we don't have to deal with stuff like sliding the tandems right?

 

Tankers don't slide tandems. Normal tanker length is 40' but can go up to 48' in some cases. Normally as long as your below 80k gross your good. They don't care about axle weights cause your product is always moving.

 

Thank you that will make it so much easier cause I keep reading dieselfuels forum and it seems so hard to slide tandems since they don't always want to work and thank u for the size cause I was curious if they were smaller then van

 

So I had a random question that I have been curious about, after we are done training with a trainer and they send us back to do the final testing what happens do we get our truck and they send us home for a day or so to get or stuff set up in the truck and get clothes for the next few weeks or do they send us straight out on loads?

 

so basically after all the testing and stuff we go home for a little bit till they get us a truck? cause they will be sending me to Houston, TX for orientation. But i live in Atlanta that's why i was curious. But if they send us home for a few days before getting tuck then i could definitely bring my stuff with me but other then that i wouldn't be able to at orientation.

 

When I went with Schneider it was a couple days before I got my truck and a couple more to get my stuff. I slept in my truck for like 3 weeks with no mattress. It was awful.
