    Don't leave out that hazmat....o_O

    Sometimes those food-grade tanker fleets pull hazmat loads (e.g., booze).

    Those are good-paying loads -- don't miss them.

    Will Schneider hire me in Florida? Personally, I want to leave Florida so going out of state is no issue for me.

    Yeah, hazmat didn't interest me much cause I wasn't planning on hauling fuel and stuff, but I might get it in the future.

    I’d like to get to the north west/mid west such as Iowa, the Dakotas, Montana etc.

    What part of FL are you looking to work out of? If it’s the same as the zip code on your license just go to Schneider Jobs - CDL Truck driving, Diesel Technician, Warehouse, Office and enter your zip code.
    If you’re planning on moving, just go to Sioux Falls, SD. That puts you near your preferred area. SD is a tax free state, and SD is extremely easy to move to.
