Yes I have used the study materials here and aced the permit test. Very good setup here for test prep. The air brakes were fairly easy for me since I already work on them and have a bendixen certification. :)... Sent Brett an email thanking him for setting up such a great resourceful site. And I would like to say thank you to all helpful advice you guys and gals put up here.
Congratulations!
Cheers,

Well got an opportunity during school to go to Schneider Bulk. Did some research on them and couldn't really find anything bad. So I took it, they are paying for my tuition reimbursement and I'm currently about to start fourth week of training with SNBC.
Oh boy, That is going to be rough. I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but tankers are a totally different animal. And the chemical business is in its slow period. This year is even slower than normal. Pay very close attention in class. Schnieder has a very good class program, but still tanks are not for new drivers. Many more challenges.
Be careful and safe.
I think he might be in the dry bulk division. Country boy, are you hauling dry goods in the bulk tanks?

I'm not sure they have a dry bulk division.

Oh, that may be. I thought they did. I just looked on their website and I see nothing about dry bulk.
Hopefully he does some fast talking with PAM or start with the dry van division. This is a bad time of year to learn to drive a truck with an olympic sized swimming pool behind it. Or best case scenario I'm completely wrong and they do have a dry bulk division. That would be great.
Dry Van:
A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.New Reply:
