New driver, schneider questions

Tanker no question about it,
More money in the long run
More money out the gate

 

$920 per week hauling a tanker??
that's what $46k per year.......out of the $250k gross

did I Miss something?

 

If ya don't mind night driving do Walmart. Most stores should be extremely easy to access, plus wide open lots to back up.

I was on a Walmart account for around 8 months. Only complaint was adjusting the sleep schedule on days off.

 

that's just it.......Walmart deliveries are the easiest you'll ever do.........stores are set up for big trucks

 

Tanker will open up more higher paying doors for you in the future.
You made a great decision not going to crst , now make another and learn tanker.
If you don't like it you can always go back to a van.
I dont know personally but it's been said often on here that Schneider' a tanker training is really good. Pay on the low side but again this will open up better $$ doors.

 

For us, because we wanted the biggest paychecks, did extra runs. Our trucks went 65 so 260 miles (round trip) and 4 stops would be around 6 hours. Then head back and do another 100 miles (round trip) and 2 more stops for another 2.5 hours. Easy work, just be on time and follow some dumb things Mal wart asks of ya, like locking and sealing the empty trailer on the way back...

Most drivers at the DC where I was were lazy. They'd take the shortest runs, least amount of stops, hardly do extra runs and never work the weekend.

The plan hardly deviates and each day is pretty much the same, just different stores.
