Tanker Route ? Ugandan Utah To Vancouver Canada

Has anyone driven this route or one like it. I'm interested in apply for it at Schneider. I would like any information any one can add Pros Cons. What its like driving for Schneider exct Ty.

Well, as a new driver, we never, ever recommend pulling any type of tankers.

UGANDAN??? Do you possibly mean Ogden Utah?

I have run that route regularly up to Seattle and not gone north of that. However as a beginning driver, I would not recommend running a tanker over that route for any company until you get more experience. Eastern Oregon is mountainous with Cabbage (goes into Pendleton) being a 6% for 6-mile downgrade. Then you have Snoqualmie in Washington. There are a couple other 5% for 2 to 3 mi downgrades. Until you have run those kind of mountains, especially in winter where you have to chain up, and learned how to control your truck, it would be best to drive a dry van , reefer or flatbed.

I know nothing about Schneider. There are a couples guys here with Schneider that may chime in.

USA/Canada border crossing will require a jab passport/paperwork next year. You will have to keep up with getting all of those shots and staying up to date with the latest new science they create to fit their agendas.

After taking into consideration everyone's input im going to steer away from this one. Ill focus on Getting my Hazmat endorsement and check into CRST, or Schneider atm. I live near by their terminal's, it's not too far of a drive for work. The other carriers are not self-insured and require 6,9,12 months of Driving in my area.

CRST is essentially team only driving.

I'll make sure and ask the recruiter again. She and I talked about Home weekly and solo Driving. After my 28 Day's of driving with a Mentor. If this company has a clause where i can not drive for anyone but them im out. Told the Recruiter im not in a big rush atm and i want to see what their offering on paper. So far i have found they may pay 32 cents cpm during my 28 days. After that 35 cents cpm after 3 to 5 months and 41 cents cpm after 6 to 11 months. Seam's a bit way too low for me atm if its trues what i found on their pay. If it's 35 cents after my 28 days with a mentor and i run solo lets say week 2200 miles Avg a week . That's $770.00 if that's the case im out.
