    I would go ahead and apply to Schneider. I started out with them in 2018 and found them to be very understanding and helpful. They might hire you, they hired me back on in 2023 when I had a less than 2 year old speed ticket (19 over in a cmv). Go ahead and try. The worst they can do is say "no".

    Oh ok. You won't need a refresher i don't think. You can get hired on somewhere for sure. You want only tanker? Or does it not matter what type of trucking?

    It kinda doesn't matter to me, I know there's a local tanker outfit right close to me. Thinking about trying to apply for them, and if they kick it back, applying to Schneider instead.

    Western NC, about an hour west of Winston-Salem, and hour north of Charlotte.

    If its not on the MVR or PSP, it does not matter. Seatbelt in our world is not a big issue
