Inexperienced tanker driver

Hey firespock I will be in Houston on Sunday to check into the Red Roof to start training on Monday might see you around.

 

No problem there, I'll try to find you on day one or two.

 

I've been following you, harlycharlie and others so long that I've never taken the time to introduce myself. Pardon me. I am a recent grad currently going thru tanker orientation in Coraopolis. Thanks for this thread.

 

Man this thread has a lot of good info. forgive me for the hijacking, but for the ones that have been running tanker with sni for awhile.. would you recommend it? the tanker side... I live in Dallas and currently running intermodal reg. out of Haslet Im wanting something with a little more challenging and so tanker is what im considering. Thanks in advance....

 

Absolutely, I would give it a shot. Tanker is different from dry van but as long as you can live with the surge its pretty straight forward to learn. Even though I left snbc for another company I still recommend it, and Texas is a great place to be for tankers. A year or two with Schneider bulk and you will be a hot commodity with your choice of places to go that pay better.

 

Thanks for the reply... As of right now this site is the only way I can get like up to date info on the sni tanker side... so all replies will be greatly appreciated good or bad... Ive been with sni over a year now and feel like tanker could work for me just ready for a change from the intermodal side.

 

It's where I started, I also parked in Dallas but ran out of Houston. I left for way more money but it was good while it lasted. You probably won't stay after your year mark, the offers will be too good to let go.

 

Well, I figured if I stayed with sni for another year running tanker and I love it... thatll put me at 2 years running with sni. One more year and Ill be 100% vested in the 401k and it'll all be mines. Will probably transit over to the tanker side in about a month or so.. Thanks for the reply...

 

I'm in Houston now at Red Roof, SQT day 1 down!
