Start With Schneider Bulk In A Few Weeks.
Topic 12318 | Page 2
How is the expected hometime? I am about 100 miles from where Schneider offer's their bulk regional , so I didn't think it would be worth it unless they have great hometime.
I've read about tanker positions. People talk about both how it's good to start in it so you don't develop bad habits from other kinds of trucking. They also talk about how there is much more to it than other forms of trucking, and how it's kind of sink or swim, to put it short. Just an fyi. Starting with chemical tankers is something I am very hesitant on, personally, but there are many different types of people.
Either way, I think that if you do well in it, it would open up all kinds of lucrative opportunities.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

They say home weekly, basically for your 34 over a weekend.

Well, if that's what you want, get Haz, a TWIC card, and a passport. Don't be "that guy" at orientation. Show that you have your **** together, and they'll get you moving faster.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
HAZMAT:
Hazardous Materials
Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
DUI:
Driving Under the Influence
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
