    I searched but found a lot of old threads, so I'm hoping to get some more current information, from drivers with knowledge of this specific terminal's operations. I am in the process of determining if I am going to make a move from OTR dry van (with a different company) to the regional tanker division out of Reserve, LA.

    How long does the orientation/training in Houston actually take (they told me 2-3 weeks)?
    Is the recruiter's estimate of a 1500 - 1900 miles a week average accurate?
    Can I really expect 25% of my income to come from loading/unloading/clean outs/etc, or are they exaggerating the amount?
    Are they good about getting you home on time?
    What type of equipment are they using (new/good condition or raggedy/beat to ####)?

    Any other useful/helpful things to know before committing to the move would be much appreciated. I don't expect any job to be all roses, but I'd like to at least have a realistic expectation of what to expect if I make this move official.

    All I can say is lots of current tanker yankers here at SNI that I talk to complain about lack of miles. Lots of sitting.
