Schneider Oil Field Truck Driver Jobs/ The Texas shales and beyond

they issue boots? So don't need a new pair? Saves me over $130 if I don't need to...

 

Rockdoctor: Will a DOT physical be done as well? Or, would I just need to show the medical card? Just had one in March thru the school.

 

If your DOT is fairly recent and you have the long form (7 pages?) they may accept that after you fax it in to the medical Dept. HTH

 

Lol I like the composite toe too lol

 

I am new to this thread but heard all the great things about the oil field. I was interested in tanker before I even started school. I am attending Truck Driver Traning at Napier Truck Driving School and will be done mid July. Was curious if there is a way to get an oil field or tanker job in Texas? I have always loved Texas. Being able to work and live there would be a dream come true. Does anyone know or have advice for a cdl school grad getting in on oil field tanker, if not eligible maybe just tanker job in Texas?

 

@Ajv1987: Schneider gives new grads the opportunity to drive tanker....Victoria/Midland/Odessa. Newbies don't get the relocation funds like the experienced drivers. But, they will put you in a hotel for up to 2 weeks to give you a chance to locate a place to stay. I know there may be other companies out there that give newbies a chance but so far, to me, Schneider seems the best choice.

 

I agree that Schneider is the best choice, just wanted to know my options. Being put in a hotel for 2 weeks is great, it will give me somewhere to stay while finding a permanent place to live. I will drive tanker in Texas then just to get my foot in the door. I am surprised that they give new grads an opportunity to drive tanker. Thanks for the advice!

 

Save your money that 2 weeks!!! Cuz you will be there awhile on your own dime. Everywhere here has waiting lists no less than 3 months out. I've been here since Jan and am finally getting an apt June 30!
