Call the terminal manager of the yard you're planning on working out of directly. Or, better yet, go and see him in person. The TM's do all the...
Yep. Sitting at a Walmart in Massena, NY waiting to deliver this load of transformer oil to a sub station just down the road at 10:00. Then it's...
Yep. I've been back for about 3 weeks now. Just finished training and will be on my own Sunday. I have a load with a three hole going out to...
I would imagine oil field work is taking a beating right now. Jbond and I are from western Pa and it's all Marcellus gas work around here. Not...
The truck was a standard 10 speed. As far as oil/gas field work, you're going to find it hard to land a job with no experience. Very few will...
I went there in October and tuition was around $5300. Add in another couple hundred for testing fees so figure around $5600 total and it'll take...
I went to Sage in New Stanton. I took tanker, hazmat, doubles and triples.
It's been a few days since I last posted so here's an update. We finally got the wax unloaded Tuesday around noon and we stopped by the Markham...
I'll see if we can swing that when we get out of here. It's always nice to have someone show you these places instead of wandering around looking...
So much for getting unloaded early. Not only can't they unload early, they said it wouldn't be until 6 pm or so to start. We talked to the...
Well, I'm currently sitting at my hotel in Maumee Ohio. We got in here just before 1:00 pm with 5 minutes to go on our 14. We have a load of wax...
Cold is one thing but this -24 F crap sucks. I'd be happy with 30 right now.
I did my first load yesterday. I had to be at the terminal at 4:30 am so we could pre trip and get our paperwork done as we needed to be on the...
Starting pay is $100 for the fist 8 hours then $13 per hour after. Once you go on your own, all drivers make the same so you'll be making the...
Ok, day one is in the books. Lots of paperwork and I watched a hazmat video. My trainer is a great guy and we hit it off really well. He's been...
I finally finished up the hiring process and start tomorrow. It's taken almost a month to get through the on boarding process and I'm confident...
I just took my dexterity/DOT/drug test today and hopefully start work next Monday out of the Karns City terminal. I would be willing to post here...
I have a pre hire with Schneider tank division but if I could go straight to Superior that would obviously be the better route. However, I have...
As the title states, I'm going to be graduating from Sage around 10/20 and was wondering if I should go ahead and contact Superior now or wait...
I'm pretty sure that you can't have riders while pulling tanks for Schneider.
