    How is Superiors training?
    How about the equipment?

    I am going tanker, and need to decided who will train me the best. Also, chemical tanker gets slow in the winter?

    I went to Superior right out of school. My training was pretty extensive with 3 trainers over 6 weeks. They also ran me local for a few weeks once solo before turning me out into the system. This was overr 10 years ago.

    Ethos who came in with 10 years got 1 week with a trainer. It depends on your situation.

    How busy you are depends on the terminal. Out of High Point we slow down from Thanksgiving until mid Feb or so.
     
    Termite20 Thanks this.
