Starting a new job with Schneiders tank division next week.

I do wish you luck. I am sorry if I cam across as negative. It's just that I can't understand why some companies don't pay their drivers for all of their time? I think if your work it, you should be paid for it.

I agree that 6 days off are better than 4. I understand that they are otr. Just pay the driver their time on duty. I think it is the least they can do to compensate them for being away from home.

I work for Airgas. We get paid hourly for all of our time. So there are good companies out there. I wish that you could come work for us. I still stand by my thought that if a company has to advertise, it is not for the drivers benefit.

Keep us informed on how it goes at Schnieder Bulk. Again, good luck.

 

I driver for Schnieder on a dedicated account, pulling vans. I like what I do, but I've been considering tanks. May take the jump at the beginning of 2010. I spoke to a Schnieder tank driver last week. He lived near Cleveland Oh. He stayed out 6 weeks at a time, by his own choice. He said he loved it. He only loads or unloads about 30% of the time. He said his miles were just over 2500 a week, as of lately. Please keep me posted on how you're doing!! Thanks for the thread!

 

I haul milk. It was great. The only thing wrong was the tank. no baffles. if you didnt time it right. it was hard to shift.

 

We get spammed so much from gmail accounts, I can see why they would be weary
Thats ok we like you here

 

Man i worked for them for 9 wonderful months! it was great!!! i will tell you that what they say is true about the six days at home a month. i wish i had never left!

 

Hey Bduke
We all wish we could get a job like the one you have ...

It is #### hard these days to get a job here in Florida without going OTR for weeks at at time and even if you decide to do that good luck finding a company that is hiring in Florida - it is near on impossible and oh yeah add to the fact that I am a female.....what can I say...

I have seen Schnieder Tank advertising a lot where I live too and to be honest have been considering it, I dont have any tanker experience and the add says thats okay. I am not afraid of hard work, have flatbed experience...just not sure what to do. I am running mail right now and it pays really good but one run every two weeks is just not enough.

Hopefully onetime42 can keep us up to date on what it is like...good luck.
