I drove for Schneider Bulk as my first driving job too. Why aren't you looking into some of the other tanker companies we see at the tank washes?

All the companies you listed pay well. Look into TMC and Maverick for flatbed, very good companies too.

I actually got a call from Sherman Brothers tanker division. He told me they normally required 2 years, but knew the training Schneider puts you through. After making up my mind and final decision was WEL, I chose Sherman. Small company, time for new experience.

Old School... I had originally posted in Ladies forum, just copied and pasted. Forgot to edit for everyone. But thanks for your feedback. Those three have offered me $0.41+ as well. Trying to get 2 years in for even more options to open up. I may look into Hunt, but that 2 years seems to be my issue with heavy haul. Other options that I'm considering are local work that gets me home at least every other day or tractor moving/relocations (but they seem to definitely require 2 yrs). Not going back to Schneider, my time is up and time to move on.

Daniel B....LOL

I drove tankers with Schneider National for my 1st year. Now I'm ready to move on and expand. So, I'm looking into a new company. After several phone calls and emails, my top 3 are Crete, Wel and Marten. But I'm so indecisive that I can't make up my mind. Can you ladies help me by providing some perspective on any of these companies? Or if you have others for me to consider, they will be appreciated.

BTW ~ Although I only have 13 months OTR experience, I do have my HAZMAT, doubles/triples, TWIC and, of course, tanker endorsements. I wanted to get into heavy haul and over-sized loads. I also have a min $0.41/mile with somewhat decent home time requirements.

Thanks in advance

Welcome cRiderzGurl.....glad you found us. Redgator drives for WEL...and she really likes it. So I'll let her fill you in on it. I'm not sure of the pay scales on most companies, since they change all the time. But I do know that Schneider pays very well, and they have a tanker division...so they may be worth checking out. I'll do a little research, and see if I can get back to ya with any more info..Check around the site, and feel free to post here, or on the general forum...the guys might have some insight on Maten and Crete...

Thanks for the response. I just left Schneider and although it's a great company, the consistent money isn't there. I will repost for the guys to respond.
