    I was wondering if it was worth trying for it.
    Ive recently been looking at usa trucking and venture logistics, but i want to make a little more and i dont want to do a contract! That and i need something a little closer. I dont want to go to dayton or indiana for orientation.
    I saw a few threads with oaystubs and pay seems good.
    I want to run regional. It would be nice to have my weekends off but i also under that its not usually possible to have both those days off..

    I've talked to several Schneider drivers when loading/unloading. They seem to have been well trained and most were just trying to gain some good experience before moving up in the chemical tank industry. I understand completely wanting to be there for your little one. Most companies have local/regional runs and tanker pays decent. Also pretty easy, once you get the hang of it.
