    Check out this thread...Starting with Schneider bulk

    It's about company drivers but maybe they have a similar program for new OO's. Can't hurt to call.

    Try CBSL. It's a cross between Intermodel & tanker. They pull ISO & domestic. It's a lot of learning on the job, doing it yourself, but you'll make money if you don't mind working and are willing to invest in equipment. (I made good money there)

    If you can live on $1800-2400/ week, you'll get better training art Schneider, but the rates are low.

    QC..... That's a whole nother story. There is money to be made at either Joliet or Lansing. But they also have dog poop rates on some things.

    I've heard some good things about first choice logistics. They pull domestic & ISO tanks.

    If you want to run long, Trimac pays all miles loaded or mt.

    Coal city cob might be another choice.

    You'll need to invest in both a pump and a compressor to make max money.
    If you have one or the other you'll make a little less.
    If you have neither you'll make the bottom rates

    This! If you're going to pull tanks get a compressor & pump asap. It's not cheap, but I paid for everything through accessorial charges in 4 months at CBSL.
