Yeah not too worried about the road life. Superior is definitely on my short list as well. You're on a good pace income wise! I really appreciate all the info, I'm sitting in CDL class, doing the required book work, pretty boring, looking forward to getting behind the wheel & doing some real training.
Superior Carriers, my experience.

I'm thinking about applying at the exact location you're in (Markham). Do I need to have my Hazmat and Tanker endorsements before applying? Or do they give you a certain amount of time to obtain?

I spoke with the Terminal Manager for Superior Pasadena, TX location. Told me to send him my school transcripts (I just finished 30 days ago). He also said that I would need to relocate within 75 miles of the terminal. I live in San Antonio which is about 220 miles away. I really would like superior to be my first company.I also do not mind staying out longer, especially for my first six months. I've done tons of research and they're exactly what I'm looking for in a company.I hate to lose out on this opportunity.
Do you think the terminal manager would make an exception?Richierich76 and SurfBaker Thank this. -
I'm in the same position pretty much KENNE1982, just about to test out and wanting to drive for Superior. I'm outside the hiring area as well, about 2 hours away from the terminal in Florida. I called & spoke to the Terminal Manager who told me that the only time they hire outside of the 50 mile radius is if I was willing to go OTR. I plan on driving over to the terminal with CDL in hand and introducing myself in person, shaking hands and letting them know I'm here and ready to work. Good luck Bro!
Lonesome Thanks this. -
Now, a friend from orientation works at Carry Transit, our food grade division, and he says that's not the case for his terminal in Ohio. He is getting tons of miles and while the pay is a bit less than chemical he is making more because he is moving! Maybe check and see if there is a Carry terminal around if you're interested. (I'm considering a move when I relocate to Florida)
It may depend on division and needs of the terminal.Suspect Zero and SurfBaker Thank this. -

And definitely try Carry!! I'm tempted to make the switch but our dispatcher is awesome so I'm gonna stick it out at least a year. But some days....air off in full PPE in the blazing sun. Phew...it will test you for sure!
