Does anyone know?

The Bulk Haulers around me are tied to the concrete business. Not great pay, but all in all ok I guess.....I'd still hold out for Maverick if you have that choice....

Perhaps I can shed more light on Mavericks's "bulk" division.

Right now it's approximately 15 or 16 trucks and about 35 drivers dedicated to hauling sand to gas rigs here in Arkansas. To be in sand haul you must live within 30 miles of North Little Rock. The drivers put in long days but are home every day or night, depending on your shift. It's the closest thing to being a local driver that Maverick has.

I just finished orientation and begin working in sand haul beginning Sunday. I'll be with one of the established sand drivers for a couple of days for hands on experience then be on my own. I've been in trucking for over 22 yrs.

 

i have only talked to a couple of schneider bulk guys one guy did nothing but praise how great it was but he went from otr van to tanker the other was an old hand at tankers and said the mileage was ok but they didnt pay much if any( i cant remember the details) loading and unloading tank wash delays etc. most tanker guys get all hours paid while on bottom line..but if your a student id say most bulk haulers prob wouldnt be intersted in you...but as soon as you get some time in somewhere id start looking at the tanker bus. its is the best of the best...esp if you get into hazardous...better money and better working conditions..you wont regret it...after you get a year or two in start looking at the tanker jobs...

 

they have a high turn over rate here in Chicago area , rates aren't all that great either , but you get a unlimited amount of orange duct tape !! and alot of the ones I have met are ledgends in there own mind ..
