Service Transport Company

I am getting the feeling that tankers as a whole no matter the company have been a rollercoaster this summer... seems like it doesnt matter what company is on your door everyone has said there up and down. Fuel excluded Obviously

 

It's slow in alot of places. Most of the tanker FB pages I'm on are all full of tankers guys complaining about sitting, several with superior.

 

Thanks for the response!

Like I was saying I'm going to be finishing CDL school in the next few weeks so I'm researching and applying to companies now. I already have an app in w/ Superior and I'll likely be putting in one w/ Service Transport as well since it wounds like they are a pretty descent company overall.

If you don't mind my asking, what's the starting /cpm for new CDL drivers at Service Transport? I looked all over their web site but couldn't find anything specific? Also, what is the training like at STC? Is all of the training done at the Houston terminal or do you have to go out of state for part of the training? I don't mind that, was just curious what the training regimen is like?

 

So I filled out an application online for STC but unfortunately I got an e-mail from their recruiter today that said:
"Currently we require at least 1 year 18-wheeler experience."

So that's - that apparently, at least for the time being. This is probably the result of the purported "slow freight" in bulk / tanker shipping these days. So unless Superior comes through looks like I might have to put in a year or so at one of the megas doing dry van or refer before moving in to tankers.

 

Wait until after the 1st of the year before making a decision~for the most part trucking slows down around this time of the year

 

What are the requirements and how is orientation.
