I'm currently with Schneider Bulk Division. I've been here for 3 months now. I can tell you that their training is GREAT & very THOROUGH. You will learn ALOT over the course of 2-3 weeks: yes there is a Bulk training center in PA, one in Houston, & I forget where the other one is. But yea $800 gross is VERY possible. I myself have had like 2 or 3 weeks where I grossed $1000. If you put in the work you can make decent money in the Bulk Division.

Woooooooo (ric flair voice) Thanks for that insight because i was getting kinda of scared, if u dont mind me asking what is your average miles a week? do you go home every weekend or do you keep running? What year is your truck and did you get to pick your truck or was it already assigned to you. The accessory pay does it really equal to about 30% of your weekly gross? Where do you usually unload and haul for the most part. I know you stated you have been with them for 3 months, do you see yourself staying with them the full year or after? Last ? What made u choose snb out of all the other companies?

1750 is the average miles, I go home Every Friday @ 18:00 sometimes earlier & return Sunday @ 06:00, my truck is a 2015 Freightliner Cascadia automatic, yes the accessorial pay does equal about 30% if not more, we unload at most plants & water treatment places then when your done unloading you take the tank to the tank wash. I can definitely see myself staying here for a full year for sure. I love it so far. I chose Schneider because like yourself I didn't have many choices & they were the first to reply & didn't hesitate to get me on board so I rolled with it. Not regretting my decision what so ever. They pay .40 cent a mile, $25 loading pay (which you most likely will NEVER load) $35 unloading pay. $20 trailer shuttle (moving an empty trailer to another location) & $50 bulk short haul (hauling a loaded trailer a short distance) I think maybe 200 miles & under? Not sure.

Sounds great Joshua! Glad to hear things are off to a great start. I pulled a food grade tanker for a year one time and that was a really cool job. Never pulled a chemical tanker though.

What was the training like at Schneider for that tanker position? How long was it?

The training at Schneider was Great! It was looooong too. Physical, drug test (hair follicle) then they have you do a pre work screen (walk a balance log, & kneel down as if you were checking the wash out cap on the truck, carry 50-100 lbs about 20 ft then back, basically checking your heart rate after each activity & if it exceeded a certain rate you were disqualified. It was about 3 weeks of training total. Lot of practice learning to unload the tanker using air unload & pump unload, a bunch of computer testing, as well as road training & backing. It was great overall & I would reccommend it to anyone.

Rookie Driver for SNBC

Hello everyone. My name is Joshua. I've been browsing these forums for about a year now. I used this site to practice for my CDL permit & I passed with flying colors. I went to a local school to get my CDL & afterwards I joined on with Schneider National Bulk Carriers. I've been here 2 months & I've been solo 1 month of that time. I enjoy it a lot. Tankers isn't as bad as I thought it would be & the surge is not horrible but you KNOW it's there. I just wanna say hello to everyone & Thank Brett for this site & helping people succeed in this career. If anyone has any questions about Schneider or their Tanker Division I'll be glad to let you know of any information that I know of. I'm still a rookie so I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. thank-you-2.gif
