Challenger or Schneider as a Company Job?

Well, I definetly would read some of the posts on here about Schneider before I went to work for that company. Almost everypost on here has something bad to say about them.

 

Is Challenger a Canadian company? Schneider is suppose to have a darn good training program.

Thanks

 

Yes challenger is a canadian company. They run aprox 1700 power units. My wife works for them and they are an excellent co. to work for.

 

Hey CC,

Ah, okay, I see u got one year in. So ur probably familuar with the new guy stuff. Is Challenger in Alberta, too. I'm look'n for an outfit that either train's cdl's like Schneider or will take on new guy's outa school. U happen to know of any.

I'm think'n Alberta and the Fort McMurry area because their so busy and will probably stay busy.

Thank you

 

I don,t think Challenger has any drivers based in Alberta but they do have a large terminal in Vancouver. I would way rather live in British Columbia's lower mainland than Alberta any day. The climate is so much nicer with very little really cold and almost no snow. Trucking is going to stay busy in BC as Vancouver is the largest port on the west coast. Challenger hired my wife right out of driving school. They put her with a trainer for a couple of months and then let her loose on her own. My wife thinks that the training was fantastic and the trainer never drove one mile. She was a trainer not a codriver or team driver. It is still possible to find reasonable housing in BC but not in Alberta. Because Alberta is in an ultra boom everything is very expensive there. Someone from AZ would probably feel comfortable there with the cowboy culture that is prevalent. BC on the other hand is much like USA west coast culture in fact the city that reminds me most of Van. is Portland. Very laid back multicultural place. Call recruting at challenger in Cambridge Ontario and they will fill you in on everything
