What is tanker driving?

Tanker truck drivers deliver liquid bulk (e.g. water) or dry bulk (e.g. sand) loads, typically in steel tank trailers, and perform hands-on loading and unloading processes with pumps and hoses. Schneider’s leading liquid freight base consists of 75% non-hazardous loads. Discover what kind of tanker driving jobs are available in your area today.
