    You want tanker south.

    All the family dollars in our area require you to totally block a divided road and then aim that 53 into a parking lot full of random cars, all of which will love the insurance payout if you mash one. Then there is the high threat of robbery when unloading for hours. All of our family dollars within 15 miles get hit several times a year.

    I urge you to go tanker south. Be happy and prosper.

    My biggest concern was them losing his BOL and taking 24 hours to get him one and a few other pointless delays he had but that trucking, just as long as it doesn't happen too often.

    Newbies do get kept on a short leash.

    Hell I was. For a long time even. For good reason. Or many reasons. Expensive ones.

    Hang in there. You will run Donner in two feet of snow someday free as a bird once they cut you loose.

    Yea
    I agree, I would not like that backing environment, did that hauling gas. Now going to a Target or Freds would be ok

    The sad thing about that is Schnieder probably billed that plant $30-$40 per hour for the 48+ Hours they held up your truck.

    You might want to give Superior Carriers a call. The have a terminal in Memphis that stays pretty busy.

    Your best bet is to call the Memphis terminal manager and talk to her. It's 1 year but they also take students right out of school. It pretty much depends on need. They can train you a little longer if they have to.

    Go Tanker. The short time I did Tankers before I quit driving, were the most interesting and profitable of my 12 year career in trucking. If I ever came back, there is no way I could do OTR excet tanker. Local work,,, depends on hours and pay lol.

    SNI Bulk has has some gigantic SNAFUs the past couple of years and I believe that they are still recuperating from it and the fact that they are still trying to do it as a training company is beyond me. I was actually very interested in yanking a tank out that OC, but couldnt get anyone there to ever answer any questions I had whenever I would stop by.
