    My dad likes his job than what he earned on dry vans. He would be gone a 1-3 weeks and spend with family a month or so. No forced dispatcher. He had been working on dry bulks for 4 years.

    Hauls frac sand for local ng wells. Loads on rail yards. He normally goes to northern Pennsylvania. We use specific pto air blower to blow the load off the trailer. It takes half hour to unload depends how the hoses are. Schneider used hydraulic blowers and it took them 2 hours on short pipe to unload. Everybody hated it.

    Chinatown,

    Do you know of any other tanker companies that hire new CDL graduates in NY and/or PA: preferably NY? Thanks. I have looked into these companies, but didn't know if you knew of any other companies.
