Starting out with Schneider

Well it's official I start with Schneider next week!!
It took a lot to finally make a decision on what company to go with. I did a lot of research on here and other places on the web and finally took the plunge...I must say that reading the experiences of dieselfuelonly was a key part in my decision, apart from the fact that he's from NC as I am i was impressed with the straightforward reporting free of too much embellishments and as objective as possible.
I am aware of the income expectations etc but I think the main thing that attracted me as well was the 17 day training period that is actually a training period not purgatory and working for peanuts for another driver for 4-8 weeks, what the deal with that anyways?? It seems that practically every company expects you to run team with a "trainer" who in actuality is another driver just racking up miles on your back? I don't get it and I don't understand why so many people go for it!..Granted I paid for my training so I can basically choose where to go and avoid any kind of contract but still..
Should be interesting!

 

Thanks!!...I took my time and researched a lot of companies coz i really don't feel like jumping from one company to another every time s@#t happens as it inevitably will....I hope to stay with one company for a good long while....I hope it's with Schneider!..

 

That's a good idea ...thanks reading his posts did help me make my final decision. I am thankful to be able to choose a company and really grateful that he took the time to tell it like it is!

 

I have always liked to write....never had the time to though, hopefully I have the time and the inclination this go around!...
