    Where do you do your grocery shopping when out on the road, or what's your advice for healthy eating?

    A new CDL grad posted yesterday he was hired by Trimac.
    See, it pays off sometimes to ignore the "experience required" on the websites and apply anyway.

    Schneider Bulk is good because it's tankers.

    I am planning on putting in as many as 20-30 applications, and will definitely be taking your advice on the "experience" suggestions

    They are both at the top of the list. Werner being the worst of the worst.

    Good to know, Schneider seems mostly respectable and a decent place for new guys?

    I'll be honest. I would never steer anyone towards a mega company. Ever.... I will say that it appears their reputation has improved. Be cautious.

    Hey @Chinatown how did you like that. Lol

    I understand. I wouldn't go with Schneider except as tanker driver and have never recommended Werner even though some are content there. Homeless people standing in a soup line are content too for the most part.

    Fair enough, good advice, I am planning on looking for other opportunities for sure, it's just overwhelming to try and learn who is good and who is not, without help from guys and gals like you.
    Thanks for the insights.
