    I have just passed my CDL A testing at motor vehicles. I am looking into Schneider bulk / tanker. Is there anything I should do to prepare for their school (I have heard some call schneider tanker boot camp). Is there anything I should get prior to going to training and what should I expect it to be like if I go to their school. The company looks like an excellent place to get started and learn.
    Thanks for any info.

    If you post this (copy and paste) in Schneider thread, you'll probably get more replies. I have no clue on the subject; I haul tankers and love it. Did you get your endorsements?

    That article is several years old. SNI changes weekly. I don't know how much of that is valid anymore.
