    a lot of the "prehire" companies that will except you right out of school are non touch, just drop your load n get another.

    good luck with that tho!

    The only tanker company I can think of that might hire you is Schneider but there are complications . I heard their tanker drivers end up pulling vans when tank loads are slow . Would you be able to handle working with 3" hoses that are 20 feet long ?
    Have you though about cranking landing gear , releasing 5th wheel locks , and sliding tandems ? There's lot of physical work wannabes don't have a clue about .
     
    Baack Thanks this.

    Yes.

    What?

    Also, it doesn't have to be a tanker company. I was just curious if that would be a good option.

    I worked for Werner for 13 months or so and never had to unload the trailer. (well once I had to restack a pallet of beer that fell over because someone cut me off and I had to break hard). I had to option to unload a trailer a couple of times but I just chose to have werner hire a lumper since they hardly pay anything for unloading.
