I leave for cory in a couple hours and im really having 2nd thoughts i know you dont get paid 1500 a week just starting but 2000 miles a week should be minimum why keep hiring for bulk and your drivers are starving for miles

 

I would say go for it...even if u don't like the money. ..when you put down you got training from Schneider bulk on your other apps it will look real good

 

I'm not trying to disuade you from going, I have been very happy with my decision to go with snbc. There are things I don't like of course but overall its been a good experience and I do recommend it to any new drivers trying to get into bulk hauling. My totals reflect all home time, breakdowns, training, slow periods, and general noob #### ups. Your experience may vary.

 

Hang in there, not alot of choices for a newbee to start out in tanking, get your year in, if it don't get better move on.
I'm seeing $1100-1400 a week, home almost every night and weekends off.
I could stay out or work the weekends and make alot more, but I like being home watching my kids grow up.

I agree with the others..the training you get will pay in spades later in your career.
I was a long time tanker yanker..it's good work and IMO makes you a better driver(due to surge and unloading/loading).

Do your time and move on if it's not paying enough.
Cryogenics is where the money is..best money I ever made as a company driver.

 

So did u make it? I am at Cora now. A lot of people, tall, short fat, slim all kinds of people.

This will be interesting for me lol. For someone that has only drove a 6 speed at school, and never drove really drove apart from school. I am looking forward to this training.
