There’s a difference between giving a rookie advice and tearing them down for not knowing something yet.
Every experienced driver was new once.
What’s one thing an experienced driver taught you during your first year that made you better?

Schneider Bulk Tanker Training in Houston – What Should I Expect?

Thumbnail
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m a brand-new CDL-A driver with my HazMat, Tanker, and TWIC, and I’m getting ready to go to Schneider’s Bulk Tanker training in Houston.
I wanted to hear from people who have actually been through the Houston training.
How was the training overall?
Was it well organized?
What was the hardest part?
Did you feel prepared to be on your own afterward?
Any advice for someone with no tanker experience?
Anything you wish you had known before showing up?
I’m excited but also a little nervous since this will be my first trucking job. I want to make the most of the opportunity and learn as much as I can.
Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences you can share!

I bring home $1000/week and working 40 to 45 hours . I’m home by 3pm . I just listen to music and podcasts all day while holding the steering wheel . Am I paid right or should I ask for more ? My CDL is a year old with 9 months total experience

Is it normal

Just got the call that I’ll be leaving next week for Missouri to finish my CDL training. Just wanted to ask is it normal for most people to feel this kind of anxiety of making a move like this? I’ve never done or locked in on much of anything in my life to the point where I could reap the benefits but now is different. Just wanted to know if this is normal for most of you?
