My Journey To Becoming A Schneider Driver

Hey jamcar where u at, Pittsburg ?

 

Dalls, TX. The agility test is basically simulating activities you will be required to do on the job. You can find the test on youtube, just put in Schneider agility test. The entire test must be done without you going over 80% of you standing heartrate. Activities such as stepping up and down 12 inches for a minute straight...lifting 20, 40 60 pounds three times straight, walking a catwalk without falling, pulling 100 pounds, pushing 100 pounds. It's not difficult but if you go over 80% of your standing heartrate you will be sent home. So, my advice is to exercise and get your heartrate up before going to orientation.

 

Hearing test? I"m doomed, wife says I never hear a word she says. I answer HUH?

 

Congrats on the job! I started with SNI in Oct and so far so good. They didnt have me redo my med card but it was only a couple months old. The agility test wasnt a big deal, Im a fatty and I didnt break a sweat. There were fatter, older and older fatter both in my class. The only person that didnt make it had a resting heartrate of 140! Honestly if you are halfway healthy you will be fine. One thing they did stress was no drinkin in the evenings. If you come in smellin like booze or they think you are hungover they will test you immediatly and send you home. With a nice black mark on your record I imagine. Im not gonna say I never had a beer or two with dinner, but I never overdid it. I met some good people during my orientation. It is long days though. Best of luck to you and drive safe!

 

cause DOT rules state that your examanation has to be done by your current employer. plus how many schools still let guys go and get their CDL's just so they can pocket the money. its also a way of the companys to cover their ###'s

 

If the company pays for it I don't care, but what your sayin is my medical card from school is wortless
