    Yes, it's definitely why I appreciate this forum, I've learned a ton here! I have a couple nibbles from Superior Bulk and Tidewater Transit so I'm hoping thing will be better at a smaller company such as those versus the "big orange".

    I’m sure there’s Schneider tanker drivers that make decent money, but the ones I’ve talked to say the same thing they’re not making money and they sit waiting for loads, you go to the tank wash in Coraopolis there’s days that so many Schneider trucks are there you can’t find a parking spot

    What I think happens is that they hire too many people and they don’t have the freight to keep all of them moving. They are the only tanker outfit I see is hiring everywhere 365 days a year

    Yep, still here and still enjoy working here. The only regret is that I didn't sign on earlier!

    A little slow during the holidays but since then I have been kept running. Moss doesn't grow on our wheels that's for sure.
