    Correct, but again, you are still in a better position as you will leave earlier.

    hey guys im a newbie at trucking kinda...I worked for crowley liner services for 7 years jockeying all sorts of trailers/tanks on barges and through their yard i just never needed a cdl because it was on private land.... i have my cdl A now with hazmat/tanker/ twic.... Im hearing a lot of good things about Schneider tanker division... what can i expect from orientation? costs? what to bring? how many days? etc..... what can i expect driving with them? is it local or regional? i live in south jersey in the middle of philly and AC? I need experience and the company that i want to drive for is only hiring drivers with 1-2 years experience? i need as much info as possible because i want to make the right choice and the right company? any replies are much appreciated

    Well they do offer regional or OTR so that's one thing umm orientation isn't bad at all it's actually fun 9 days in school basically then about a week to two with a trainer the trainer could be local, regional or OTR whatever they got available and u would probably or at the Pittsburgh training center
