Soon to be rookie Tanker Driver!
So...I will try to keep this brief, Ive had my CDL A for almost 3 years but straight out of school I landed a job driving a front loader garbage truck and today I put in my notice to leave. I will be going with Schneider into their tanker line. I went and got the tanker endorsement yesterday. Im supposed to start orientation in 2 weeks, of course I am having to do a refresher and then training with a trainer for another couple weeks. I come from a family of truckers, my mother has been driving since I was a child also her 2 brothers drive, so im second generation. I love being alone and my mental "safe space" is behind the wheel of a truck so I feel I may be ok with going out there. This will be my first time going out OTR.....ANYTHING helps lol
Any advice, any other tanker women(i never see that, i see flatbed women drivers but no tankers) and things I need to bring for the first time out on the training as far as clothes, boots, etc. Thanks!
