Congrats i hope we are all well and on here in 10 years

They are owned by Schneider now if that makes a difference to you

I took a 40hr refresher course and went to Schneider bulk February 2015, the training is good and you will know how to do the job. The pay is low for chemical tanker work, lots of relay loads and low weekly miles. It is probably easier to learn to drive a tanker as your first trailer because you don't have any bad habits yet( they are not bad habits to guys pulling other kinds of trailers) and pulling a tank is much different then anything else.

My advice would be to have all your home bills in order and as low as possible. Have a great credit score and about 10,000 in open credit. First time buyers need about 20 percent down for equipment. 5 to 10,000 cash after you have all equipment in the bank would be a big help.

You should make at least 700 a week your first year.

I left Schneider bulk after 7 months. Not enough miles and some other reasons. My loyalty is first to me and mine not to any company. I just lp at Bp express, I believe in trust but verify. I have no dues to pay. I do this for money. Door signs are only as good as Friday's pay.

Schneider hires out of Alaska. not sure what the qualifications are. check your zipcode on their website

Does anyone know what happened?

Hope all is well with you, can you give us an update please.

72% is great without your own trailer, good luck
