    The Houston OC is a Qualawash, it's just attached to the OC. Reserve is the only company tank wash.

    What did they involve? Spotting trailers at customers or were you moving loads for drivers to relay? How stressful was it? I hate running local in towns other than my home terminal where I know the roads and customers well. Part of my training with Superior was doing just that for the first month solo but I was at home and knew most of the customers. I can't imagine doing that around Pittsburgh as a new driver and never living there. That is not an easy area to navigate with a tractor trailer but at least it isn't winter.

    Superior has a few tank washes but not every terminal has one. Often times a terminal consists of an office trailer parked at a tank wash with a dedicated area where they drop tanks.

    It wasn't that bad honestly it was mainly take a clean trailer for tank wash to a customer and pick up a dirty from them to take back to tank wash

    firespock, I am interested in Schneider Bulk OTR. I am happy to know that they hire newbies. Thanks for starting this thread!

    Did you get your hazmat endorsement yet? If yes, did you pay for the background check or did your company help out? My instructor advised that some companies will help out. I already have my tanker endorsement and have been studying for the hazmat.
