Truck Scneider orientation
These forums saved me from going to JBHunt. I've had an absolutely miserable time with Werner. Can anyone give me some pre-knowledge about Schneider orientation in Carlisle, PA. Hopefully as recent as possible. What's the road test like? Are they giving trucks to drivers or sending them away after orientation? Are they hurting financially like Werner and Swift. Any information from anyone about RECENT experience is greatly appreciated.

Don't quote me, but I believe there's a thread or 2 here about Schneider temporarily halting all inexperienced driver training...if you're experienced, you're alright.

You are correct Beehive. Here's a link to one of the threads Schneider Schools closed ?.

There are several other Schneider threads that you will find just by using the search feature at the top.

apply to Schneider. You may get lucky, but it's a 2yr tuition commitment.

If you are close to a high freight area they will hire you. Maybe try bulk.

Google them and call. They are taping over their phone numbers on their trailers, and possibly will be taking a few students at their Green Bay, Wisconsin facility. The word from people that drive for them and that have contacted them is that they are concentrating on hiring experienced drivers at this time.

drivers have been taping/spraying over the 1-800-pride on the back of the Schneider trailers for years.

=many discontent ex-Schneider drivers it seems.

I believe Schneider is hiring, but they are very picky and want you living very close to the freight as a solo. Still hiring team and O/O. For starters I think team is a great way to learn and the pay is better. However few teams last.

They say they are not hiring, but I still see newbs at the O/Cs. -Send in the application -what's to lose. Personally I would like to start in April/May when Winter isn't so harsh and the roads are a little easier.

I called. My wife and I had put applications in to be a team. They said they're only hiring experienced drivers.

Call yourself. Can't hurt.
