    I've got a good question, I've had my class A liscense about 7 months, I've driven some class B locally under the table and I drove class B for a year before I got my class A. I've got a good freind who I've known for 16 years (he's my best freinds dad) who went to school and got his CDL at the same time I did. He's ran OTR and is really close to his 100,000 miles but he's out 6 weeks at a shot. I saw schnieder's tank line needs teams with 6 month's commercial exp. Me and him get along great and we thought about doing a team operation but hometime is a concern, and is there money to be made with 2 men, where the money is going in each of our pockets? I also wonder if schnieder would accept me even though I don't have 6 month's OTR?

    I turn 21 in a week, I'm going to take my hazmat test on my birthday, I'm pretty sure I'll pass no problem, then Ill go get fingerprinted asap and hope it hurries along. He needs to get his hazmat also, so it would be a bit down the road until we try, but most likely I'll still have no OTR experience, due to I'll just end up running tri-axle under the table until then.

    You would also need a TWIC card for Schneider. Plus with no exp, your chances are not good. They have been only bringing on exp drivers for a while now. Also, much of the new business seems to be more of the regional or "out and back" (leave terminal, make del and back to terminal. gen in a 600 mile circle or so). You also never mentioned where you live, that also would be a factor.

    One big problem with teaming like you suggest. Pay is not split 50/50. Usually there is a "lead driver" who gets about 60% and a "second driver" who gets 40%. That can lead to some pretty serious problems and resentments. Think about that first.

    I applied and was contacted by a recruiter. I live 5 minutes from the Gary terminal.
    Thanks

    What are the weekly average miles with their regional tanker fleet ? What kind of earnings can one expect ? Thei website says that 6 days of hometime are guaranteed. Does that include 34-hour resets, or are they in addition to the resets ? Thanks

    average miles per week : 23-2400. You don't have to have the TWIC card when you start but you will need to be in the process of getting it.

    They are always looking for Regional tank drivers. Every time I have gone to their website it has been posted.
