Schneider training March 15th, Carlisle PA

Good news all, I passed my backround/physical etc. and am scheduled to start training with Schneider March 15th in Carlisle PA

Was curious anyone from the forum attending???

Training is 14 days straight, 10 hour days (with breaks of course), followed by an average of 2 weeks on the road with a driver trainer. I will have to have laser-like focus to get through this. Am considering getting my own single room to make it easier.

I have learned so much from this forum, in such a fast time, it is crazy. Will keep you updated.

 

Had 10am conference call today with Schnieder informing all the March 15th students what to expect. Overall went well, the DBL seemed like a good guy.

We were all on the call for bulk division, and there was much confusion wiether who is regional or network. Apparently the recruiters didn't make this clear to anyone. So he went around asking everyone regional or network, almost all said regional, but we'll see what really happens. I called the recruiter and she said there are no regional only network in my area. The schneider facility that contains the trucks is in carteret NJ.

Decided to get a single room for my training and pay the $32 a night out of pocket.

Will keep you updated.

 

Appreciate that

 

Reby,

I'd keep on the recruiter, once you get their extension they are easy to reach. If you don't have a recruiter yet call to check on your status, you could be missing information on the application, in which case you become a low priority. Once you reach a recruiter you'll get their extension and can bug them accordingly.

Before you'll know it , you'll be in class.

Thanks for the link to the thread. Can't send PM's yet, if you could send me your email over PM would be interested to hear your story.

 

Capnhector,

By the way, do you know if Schneider allows laptops to be mounted inside the truck for navigation?
