There is a thread on here about Tanking the Schneider way.

 

Any advice on decent companies to drive tank with no-touch freight? I love driving tank. I started at Schneider a few years back and they were good to me, but I've done my time with driver loads and unloads (really tired of suiting up for hazmat in the heat). I'm great with customer loads/unloads and/or drop and hook. Would love to find something reliable with decent, consistent pay. Thoughts? Does such a job even exist?

 

Air products, Praxair, GE Betz, Nalco, Hazmat environmental, clean harbors. Are the ones off the top of my head. Where do you live. If your near a major city you shouldn't have problems finding any of the above listed. And all of these companies pay 75k and up

 

Been looking on info about GE Betz. You wouldn't know anything off the top of your head would you?

 

What would you like to know. They are being sold off to suez by GE. Because GE bought Baker Hughes .

 

Just really like what they do, basically just a run down like that. Pay, I applied for east Hartford. I'm guessing they are hard to get on with?

 

You applied to GE mobile water not GE Betz. And GE mobile water hauls mobile water filters to different factories water filtration. GE Betz is a chemical distribution driving job. Betz is hard to get on with. But mobile water is a bit easier
