    That's what I hear. Seems like a good company. Any thoughts about running out of Chatanooga?

    Eh, not the best place as its a tank wash so no maintenance. You might consider parking in Atlanta and commuting but only you can make that decision. Sure helps to have your truck in the shop on hometime. Firespock will have more up to date info. He is the guy for Schneider Bulk now, I have been gone almost 6 months.
     
    Cymro Thanks this.

    Would you happen to know if a passport is helpful/needed for Schneider or just the TWIC card?

    TWIC is way more important. Passport can wait. Or you can just not do it and that way you don't have to go to Canada.

    I don't mind going to Canada. I was just asking because I was curious if having a passport might help me get extra miles in.

    I don't have passport but I just got my TWIC finally but they do say TWIC will help no matter what and it's true I know drivers that use it a lot and passport not so much I don't have my passport. But like ethos said just ask any questions I will always answer when I can. Right now I am home and hopefully going to leave out soon because my home time isn't actually until 29th to 2nd so I don't wanna be here until the 2nd the whole time because as every one would agree that's money I am losing. So tomorrow I gotta call my dbl up and find out if I can get running for a few days to bring in some $$$
