    Good Morning Everyone

    Yup that's right I submitted my application for an OTR position with Schneider. I have passed my Has-Mat and tanker quals for my license. I have no MVR issues, no felonies, & no drug issues. Schneider also has a regional spot available, requires 3 mo experience. I will test for my CDL early Jan so let's see what shakes out.

    I was also looking at Prime, but their recruiter really makes me feel uncomfortable. When ever I call her - which is not often - she makes me feel like she is in a great hurry and doesn't want to be on the phone. I feel like I am intruding on her time.

    When I get my CDL, I will have proven that I can parallel park, alley dock and back straight, and do a credible pre-trip. What I will definitely need is the "Finishing School" of a training company. Prime's TNT program would give me about 12 weeks and Schneider's is 18 days. One is too long the other is a bit short.

    I am not going to start a long thread here, but I will keep you informed about the Schneider hiring process as is relates to my experience with them.

    Regards

    Hal

    That's because you ARE intruding on her time. She doesn't want anything other than your butt in the seat of one of their ridiculously slow and unrealistically small trucks, so you can pay for it. And there are far too many candidates that don't ask questions, she is not going to waist time on someone actually doing some research and weighing options. For her; it is about numbers, not information.
    She did you a favor.

    Idiot!!!!!!

    Poor guy got suckered by Satan.

    Dollar tree was better than the other two dollar stores until it got bought out though!!!

    Lol I had to deliver in west Memphis at the family dollar DC and they said my company had already paid for a lumper.

    I go hell no!!!? Ain't waiting on capstone to milk it & tear up my crap. Went got a jack unloaded my 22 skids of really light sweatshirts and had them count and sign......30 minutes!

    Dispatcher laughed at me when I called and said get your money back from these ppl and gimme my 56 bucks.

    Felt great.

    Woman working the office was a fat evil witch.
