    Quick question. Do you still have to call the Nalco loads in after hook up before starting the unload?
     
    Juanthehumanoid Thanks this.

    I started at Schneider bulk 12 yrs ago. Your first 10 to 15 Nalco loads had to be called in before you could turn the pump on.

    I've yet to unload but from my understanding after some spill into the wrong tank, you're supposed to call every load. But I'll give you personal experience on it when I get one

    I used to have students say it looks like Shangri-La but I explain to them that if you really thought the terminals were nice you weren't doing your job correctly or were broke down a lot.

    I for some reason only got a few of those Nalcos. Ran a lot of stuff for water treatment plants. A few for the city of Phoenix. Loved heading to Arizona around this time of the year

    Well we made it to the Gary OC, but we got some truck engine codes come on and it's packed here at the shop. Plus understaffed. Well be here 2 or 3 days waiting. Sigh

    I highly recommend it, Schneider is very military friendly, it would be good imo
