Well I finally made the move over to tankers back in March. This is my first tanker, and now I see why so many say they'll never go back to pulling boxes lol. This is so much better in so many ways. I left Schneider for Tidewater Transit, working with @TaterFox and @RevKev. I'm also glad to see the truth about working for a smaller company......a million times better.

I'm slowly starting to feel more comfortable with everything that comes with pulling a tanker, but I will sometimes still get a bit nervous if I'm doing an unload completely by myself, or just going through horrible traffic with a hazmat load, like Atlanta or St Louis. I did however do my first unload where the customer pretty much leaves you alone a couple weeks ago, and it went perfect. All he did was come out to check my hookups and let me get to it.

I know some of yall have seen that I've been back and forth on going local, which was due to issues at home to take care of the boyfriend (was in a bad crash), but I think we've both decided it'll be best for us and my experience to just stick it out as he's slowly healing for the better and he feels much more comfortable being home alone now doing a few things on his own, though he is still limited on alot. Which also explains why I've been missing from the forum lately. Anywho, if anyone sees a short ### brunette in a TWT Volvo, holler at me on the radio!

Good Luck and safe travels to you! I'm moving back to tanker yankin' starting next week. Been flat bedden' Local P&D. They don't pay enough for that gig. I'll be back to OTR Liquid Tanker hauling chemical again. I've got ten yrs. doing that but wanted to try the "salary pay plus" pay structure. What lanes are you going to be running, I might cross paths with you. I'll be in the SE Region mostly but no tellin' where I might have to go......
