What to expect with your trainer/ bulk division.

Thank you. I am working on Hazmat now. Had it in the past so should be no problem. Since Charlotte is not Bulk OC do you think they would require me to move? I am hoping to go OTR on the tankers.

 

I doubt it. I park in Dallas and that is not a bulk OC. If they have no more need for Bulk drivers in Charlotte they simply will not hire you.

 

OK. Thanks for the help.

 

Hi everyone..was wondering if anybody could shed some light/ specifics of the pre work screen for Schneider bulk division?

Iam very interested in joining Schneiders bulk division; however I'm nervous to go all the way to Houston just to be sent back home. I have one year otr flat bed experience, but have not been working for 8 months....and unfortunately put on some weight(50lbs?).....I currently weigh about 285 at 6'1" and not in the best of shape; I get winded fairly easily.

I have heard that a number of people get sent home out of every class on day one for failing the pre work screen; mostly because of heart rate being to high.

Again.....just looking for specifics about the test and any advice, tips and/or hints you might have.

Thank you in advance for your time and any knowledge/advice

 

you will be lifting weight for up to 60 lbs....3times and you will be asked to climb up to the tank and walk along the catwalk to check your domlid.Just breath normaly and you will be fine.
In our group ,just one was sent homefor height on top of the tank.
Good luck

 

Thank you PALOU for your response.

What did you mean by one person was "sent home for height on top of the tank" ?

 

Probably means "afraid of heights" when getting on top of the tanker, Alot of people are afraid of heights

 

yeah i meant height fear...not to mention that he was a little old

 

Oh ok....that makes sense. Thanks

 

A little old, thats like being a little pregnant or a little drunk
Just having fun-kinda like jumbo shrimp or military intelligence
