Schwerman. Avoid this company.

99.9999% of tanker work is driver unload....

 

I worked for Schwerman for 5 years and hated every day of it as far as the office and management. Made good money so I stuck it out. Really enjoyed being out on the road running coast to coast running tankers. As long as I avoided the terminal, it was ok. I would delay returning from a run until the office was closed so I wouldn't have to face those nitwits.

 

Just curious Thane,did you by chance research this company before you WORKED for them for 90 day's?Or did you need 90 more days to be eligible for unemployment?And please say Schwerman has auto's in all their trucks,i wouldnt want to hear that you had to actually shift gears after unloading all that product by yourself!

 

No, I unload maybe 25% of our loads, but I like doing it
Some weeks I'll unload every day and then I might go 2 weeks without touching a load.
Most are easy air offs or gravity drops

 

Kind of a wording thing.. You don't need a tanker endorsement to pull an pneumatic.. Rarely (very) hauled a liquid that someone else unloaded.. I can remember only one place and it was inside a refinery..

 

I used to see their trucks when I hauled cement, out of Logansport, In, and Greencastle, IN. Wasn't impressed.

 

I like hooking up to the pump..... except that time I blew my valve cap and got the valve wedged in the tank...

But I'm hourly and OT eligible after 40.
CPM, disregarded.

 

I did their OTR pulling hazmat liquid and some dry bulk. Did a few cement during training period and some of those trailers were manufactured in 1968.
