Switching to tanker question

I just recently switched over to tanker from van hired on with Highway Transport did orientation for a week in Knoxville went out with a trainer for a week in Florence, Kentucky been on my own for a year now most loads I’ve done are customer unload occasionally I hook up a couple hoses or run a airline or climb the ladder to open the dome lid~one thing I can say about it is take your time don’t ever feel rushed 1st few months was ruff getting used to the surge after awhile you’ll figure it out~IMO the thinner the liquid the more surge you’ll have but overall I’m glad I switched

 

Two years experience; you're golden for tanker outfits.
Look at this one that requires 2 yrs. experience. "No Rookies." I think their tanker training is in Florida.

• All tractors are assigned and are less than 36 months old.

This particular tractor is part of the pump division which is why it has no fairings. The sleeper berth is slightly smaller, too. I've not seen any of these tractors on the west coast.
And all the pump division tractors are equipped with that dangerous automatic braking radar crap.

Indian River Transport hq is in Winterhaven, Florida which is southwest of Orlando. Bring the kids because Legoland is in Winterhaven. And bottled water, too. Florida water tastes like it came from the swamp.

 

Plenty of better tanker yanker jobs out there than Schneider. If you live in the southeast, good tanker jobs are in abundance.

 

Trimac Transportation has an OTR division and can make over $100K.

60 cpm multiplied by 12,000 miles per month equals $7,200.

$7,200 X 12 months equals $86,400.

Promises, promises. Why do I believe?

 

Heed these folks advice and use your two years to get on with a better company. I have friends that have slowly been exiting from SNBC over the last two years, and from what I’ve heard from them, and read on here, SNBC is a complete mess. It’s just not worth the aggravation for the amount of money they pay.

Find a company near your home as most tanker companies are out loaded and back home MT. I’ve never once picked up a backhaul while pulling a tank although they do occur sometimes. It’s just a whole ‘nother world. Very few aggravating miserable customers and virtually zero downtime. Just do a job and get home.
