Questions about driving for Schneider as a Company driver

How is Schneider's school reimbursement payout (weekly, monthly, quarterly, some other schedule)?

Can a person accumulate days off by staying out for an extended period?
If so, is there a max to the number of days accumulated?

How many days notice do you have to give when requesting home time?
What happens if you request a home time cancellation? (ie, if you cancel, do you start over waiting the number of days from the above question)

From some of the other threads, I gather you only spend 3-5 days with a in truck trainer. Do you live in the truck, or hotels during those days?

I suppose I could call the number on the back of the trailers, but I would rather ask drivers than recruiters. I think I have read some the answers already, but I forgot which threads and pages!

 

Thanks DFO.

Because I own and run my own farm, I need to take home time at certain times. Planting time is a very time and weather sensitive period. Rain really spoils things, especially if one does not finish and has to get back in a truck for 2 weeks just to get 2 or 3 day off again at which one may get rained out again. 2 weeks is $100s of production, maybe over $1k, especially if you are already late.

I am really struggling to get the experience needed to get a local trucking job or become a o/o and keep running my farm at the same time. My farming cousin agreed that I should not rent it out a year. Letting equipment set for long periods is very bad for it, and have almost all the bugs out of it at this point. Taking steps backwards with the farm is not really an option.


Another question:
Would you guys think SNI allow their tractor be hitched to someone else's trailer(hopper bottom for grain) for short periods while I was on TAH? I might have access to a hopper bottom during weekdays during harvest season. Using it would great reduce the time required to harvest my crops, but I would not want to get fired for doing so.

 

I kinda figured that. The distance is 13.5 miles, and I would not do that too many times. Next question is does SNI have that same rule IC's? I think I can get this trailer on weekdays if they are not using it, a neighbor has done it many times. I don't believe the tractor is available, just the trailer, and only on weekdays, they farm only on weekends.

Thanks

 

Figures. I have plenty of land to keep the truck on too.

I am 70 miles to the Gary terminal and 125 to Indy.
