Schneider sand cans

Well that's probably so, but I figure its worth sharing the real dope about what Schneider is paying people. So it's just an added piece of information. Do I want to go work for them? Not if I can find someone else to let me train on tanker, or at least find something with a decent company who will hire a "recent re-graduate" like me to to do water hauling or a vacuum truck or something else that's at least partly driving, just to start out somewhere. My experience is too old to be of any use to me, so, it's an option, not the best option, but an option. That's one of Schneider's few advantages. Won't make me popular with the "real truckers", but it can get me paid to learn, at least for a while. I never had any "rose colored glasses" about what it is.

 

Forgot that I'd done a vid on my run from the stripping pit to the breaker when I was running coal last winter. This is a good illustration of some of the back roads of PA, although maybe not as severe as some of the roads in the western part of the state. The first uphill pull was listed at 12%. The downhill descent was probably similar, but not posted. Then there is a one lane bridge and another pretty good hill to pull. All in about an 7 mile stretch of road.

They would probably be great pilots. You never have to back up a plane.

 

When you look at the Schneider job ads, the way you can tell it is equipment moving/sand vs crude is one of two ways. If it states you must have Hazmat it is crude. If it states $60k+ a year it is crude. Their crude account is the 2nd highest paying account they have.

A lot of people like to "claim" they know Schneider will not pay $60K+ per year but you don't know what you are talking about. Schneider has to pay the drivers oil field wages or they will head on over to the competition. I know for a fact they lost drivers to Sun Coast, realized this, and they doubled the quarterly bonus. Sun Coast drivers start out at $18/hr so you do the math. Guess Sun Coast is driving down the oil field wages too, LOL!

 

I think it's highly possible. You do know they are all over south Texas hauling crude oil and water?

 

Is Venezia hauling frac sand? I was leased to them a couple of yrs ago hauling oil.
