A new drivers tale of entering trucking

Schneider bulk division


[Comments] [Send Article] [Improper]

After Schneider initially told me that there were no openings in bulk division, I emailed a SNI bulk division trainer that I had written to on Pumpkindriver.com and she told me to call the bulk division operating center manager directly. He told me that he would contact recruiting and ge back to me. An hour later he called me back to tell me that corporate would be calling me back soon and "Welcome aboard"! Once I finish my Sage training and get my CDL at the end of December I will go through SNI's three week CDL school, one week of bulk training in Dallas, then out for two to three weeks with a bulk trainer.

I am very happy to get this opportunity to go directly into bulk. After one year or so I would like to hire on with a food grade tanker company like Jim Aartman out of California.

The best advice I can give is to stick it out with a large company for a year and immediately look for a mid sized company. They pay better, know who you are, and treat you better than these large companies. If these companies are so great why do you think they have recruiters?.. Hint..hint..I have worked for five companies so far and one of the largest "FAST" hint.. hint.. has been the worst to drive for. I work in the Central Valley California so I see Jim Artmanns trucks all the time I cannot comment on how they treat or pay their employees but I can almost bet they will treat you better than Schneider. I work for a large fleet but it is in the top 50 largest fleets in the USA and I am extremely satisfied with pay, benefits, and I am home every night. Please keep your record clean and you can make a decent dollar in this industry. Zach....
