Hi I have a class a with tanker endorsement. However I have never actually driven a semi truck. Only a dump truck with trailer hauling a back hoe. All the dump trucks I have driven are automatic. I can drive stick though. Not sure how much different it is from a semi truck. My main question is would Schneider put me through school or would I learn and get plenty of driving practice through the orientation process?

It's just a bunch of paperwork.
And driving test.
Maybe some extra Tanker Stuff.
If that's what you're wanting to do.
Generally though there is no real 'driving practice' during Orientation.. -
At roughly 11 bucks an hour and a 70 hour week, why bother?

Schneider wont put you through school. They may give you tuition reimbursement, Your best bet is to call a recruiter. I'm not sure what they'll do with your experience. Orientation is only 3-4 days. Paperwork, videos, a drive test where you couple and uncouple, then go somewhere and make 4 right turns and then park it.

They would probably put you through Advance Driver Training Course (ADTC). It is a two week orientation (class room and yard/on road driving) + one week out with a trainer (TE). This is for new drivers fresh out of school or drivers with little OTR experience.
