Starting with Schneider bulk

As to the question about chem gloves, i use these from home depot. They have different sizes and fit better than the crappy ones from snbc.

Grease Monkey PVC Coated Cleaning Gloves, Large/X-Large-24203-08 - The Home Depot

 

I will be heading home tomorrow till Tuesday. All that is left is for me to do a road test and take the Schneider hazmat certification test.

When I come back I'll be reporting to the main bulk terminal in Houston.

 

Been enjoying the read, I'm looking at returning to Pumpkin, but finally putting my tanker endorsement to use. I don't want to hijack the thread, but if you get the chance I'd love to ask you some questions in regards to the whole process your laying out.

 

I don't know if you can say anything, but is the orientation pay livable? Got a wife and child to tend to. Also, would you say this work is less strenuous than say flatbed? (If you have any experience dealing with that?)

 

It's like your Johnny Carson....you answered most of what I had in store, lol.

Yeah, I'd make a way to last the first week, as I'm literally broke as a joke, have been for over a year and unemployed due to medical. Hoping this next year will be a different chapter. They provide just lunch, right? Planning ahead. I can

I guess I should state what happened; I had two discs slip while working on a flatbed load, ended up without a job but eventually got the surgery done, eagerly awaiting the removal of restrictions so I can resume my life. It's just been pretty trying, and part of me feels my "play hard, work even harder" outlook on, well, work, is what landed me in this shape, so figured tanker would be a happy medium between flatbed and dryvan. I use to run out of the Atlanta yard, was a trainer under Gary, had no complaints. Just not sure if I'd consider dryvan again. Thank you for all the insight so far, if there's anything you'd think would be useful, I'm all ears. (Aside from all the useful info you've already indulged me with)
