Questions about Schneider's training and pay

Start now. There's really no sense in "sticking it out".
Simply have him call his recruiter and tell them the truth. He had no idea what he was getting into and after talking to a few drivers and his dad, (who is also a driver), he decided that this account would not be a good place to start.
Also, before he calls, have him go to the Schneider website and find out what else is available and ask for that.
Good luck

 

my map shows otherwise, but, ummm.... ok.

It needs to be switched BEFORE he arrives at orientation. While it's possible yo switch afterwards, before it easier.

Also the only DG DC near y'all that I'm aware of is South Boston, VA. I don't think the account would be a good fit even if it was something like Target.

Do look into tankers or just van regional.

 

@gentleroger could probably answer this better that I, but my first inclination is that if they need him bad enough, they'll overlook the 3 month thing.
Secondly, that account is so bad that it's entirely possible he wouldn't make it 3 months before he ran into something, getting fired, and make it EXTREMELY difficult to get another job.
My concerns are more about hitting stuff than the work per se. I consider myself to be a pretty good driver for over 10 years and I wouldn't do it.

 

What’s 3 miles would be my question.
Use Air miles(straight line)
Tank is an easy test.

Note: if you do a job search on Schneider's website using the zip code '22630' (for Front Royal, VA)....in the search results you get basically the same job that I listed in post #68 above --

Over-the-Road (OTR) Van Truckload truck driver - eastern 37 states | Top drivers earn up to $78,000 | Up to $1,000 sign-on bonus | Schneider (schneiderjobs.com)

The takeaway: sometimes just a little distance can make a BIG difference.

A question I would have for the recruitment dept: why can't your son have the above job -- in lieu of that DG dedicated?
