Tanker - schneider vs prime

When you are new and not experienced, it is sort of up to you to do the follow up. Companies get applications submitted every minute. You have to make yourself known to them.

 

I'd push Superior; that's the best of those options.

Stay as far away from prine and especially Schneider!!!

If you cant wait or dont hear from superior. Then try Trimac they hire cdl graduates.

And also I see you mentioned local. You can apply to some local companies now. Why wait if you dont want to be over the road?

1 yr of OTR doesn't mean that you will automatically get a local job.

 

Where do you live?

 

Spending three months in a truck with a 'trainer'. By the time it's over. You'll be planning how to kill him.
Schneider don't allow intelligent life forms in the truck.
I'd beg Superior...

 

Definitely hold out for Superior. I applied to them just before I started school at the end of September. Called them the day I got my CDL at the end of Oct. and didn't start until mid January. Should be finishing up my training by the end of the month and everyone has been nothing but helpful. Things are a bit chaotic with the merger going on, but if you stay on top of things and ask ask ask to confirm everything you won't have any problems. The only downside with the company right now is with the hiring spree trainers are in short supply so you may have to travel to get to one (I've got to drive 700 miles this weekend to get to my OTR trainer).

 

I would put ALL of my focus on getting hired at Superior. We have a long-time Schneider driver working for us. His complaint is there is a LOT of sitting and waiting. They do go everywhere, which is nice, but miles are not big and certainly not steady. Prime tanker you will probably wait and wait to get on with a trainer. Their tanker division is tiny compared to the rest of the company. There is a good guy John Ogren on YouTube that is a dedicated tanker driver with Prime. He has lots of info about the company. Watch his old videos. It seems like newbies click on a YT video and then start firing questions in the comments instead of actually watching the videos. He answers most anything you could ask, but YOU have to watch. He doesn't have time to replay the video in text format.
