    I could do dollar general and then transfer yep, that’s a definite possibility at this point. I’ve never seen a tanker job listed in Vegas from SNI since I’ve been checking which is at least a few times week for some time now. I’m just contemplating what’s my best move now, good news is I should have at least some options.

    I was just thinking about heading to Texas funny you say that. I actually would have gone today but had car troubles.

    My prints only took a couple weeks I just haven’t taken the tests.

    There was a disastrous thread going a few days ago because a guy job hopped a little and he was upset because nobody would hire him.

    What was the purpose of moving to Vegas? If it were me I’d do whatever I had to do to get somewhere that puts you in a position to do something with Schneider that will eventually get you into tanker work with them. Let them train you on tanks, stay there a while and gain experience, then after a couple years you could probably have about any tanker job you want.

    I moved to Vegas to escape the wage theft in Illinois (no state tax in NV). Schneider has plenty of tanker jobs open right now, just outside my current hiring area. I know they are at the top of list as far as training goes for tankers, so I’m considering moving again. They consistently have openings in Waco Tx.

    Yeah the job market is pretty much garbage right now, so I’m hoping to avoid being a job hopper. I bet that guy is going to have a hard time finding any jobs.
     
    77fib77 Thanks this.

    He was a DBag. Any suggestion he shot down. Always telling everybody how wrong they were. He was a troll.



    I started work I worked for a Chicago 1099 company, 9 months. They wanted me to run like 18 hours a day. Paper logs. Then went to Texas hauled water. Boss was in trouble with IRS, checks started to bounce. 8 months. Got hired by YRC NY state. They told me 4 or 5 days a week of work. I got 1 or 2. Went back to Texas hauled crude oil for 9 months. Oil went from 130 a barrel to $28. Bought a truck leased on to Mercer. 2 years??? Truck blew up did coal city Cobb(hazmat tanker company) for 3 years total, 5 months as a company driver rest as an OO.

    Then went landstar. Truck problems. After 3+ years.
    Went back to a company driver. AIR Gas. Including commute. Was 75+ hours a week. Too many hours left after 6 months. Hauled sheet rock, again around 75 hours a week including commute. About 4 plus months I left. Bought a truck went back to Land Star.
