    a30dan1,
    Are you looking at Schneider bulk? Im in Valdosta, GA. Did you get a prehire from them for the tanker position?

    I have prehires for both schneider bulk and prime tanker but still having a hard time deciding. Prime has better equipment and pays 10cpm more but having to train for 40000 miles seems long especially when you are team driving with a stranger. I am concerned about complaints from some drivers about sitting too much.schneider tanker seems to have more miles and hauling hazmat should help you get in the door with someone like superior

    I agree, if offered a position I may choose Schneider. The training seems excellent in Houston and if used as a stepping stone for someone it would be a very reputable company.

    This is what I did. I called the TM shortly before I finished school, and then kept in constant contact once I had my CDL. I don't believe I would have got hired on if I would have only filled out an application and made no phone calls.

    Tidewater was one of my top picks, but the recruiter said I would have to move within 35 miles of the terminal. Apparently, their drivers get a lot of home time. I see their trucks a lot now and always liked that blue color.

    I'm reading some pretty poor recent reviews with bulk drivers at Schneider. Some are saying they are making 300-500 per week b/c there is no miles to be driven.

    Pretty much what I did as well. Nice thing about that is you develop a relationship with your boss instead if some recruiter you will never talk to again.
