    After doing some research I applied for Schneider. I got offered a Jet set walmart dedicated route. It will be out of the winterville ohio DC, and traveling around Kentucky, west VA. I will be driving 1800-2000 miles per week. Currently I drive for pepsi but I want to get out and drive and explore and it seems like a great opportunity for someone who is looking to expand their CDL knowledge and experience. The issue I am running into and it is kinda embarrassing, I am excited but really nervous, this will be a big change for me. I am single with no kids but I've never had a job where I don't go home each night. Any advice, and anyone worked for Schneider, what I should I pack etc etc. Thanks so much.

    Never drove for Schneider, but did deliver to the Wintersville DC a lot. Make sure you are compentent at handling hills. It is a pretty drive long the river though.

    Why not just do a dollar general account if you love abuse so much?

    No, Walmart dedicated is a hell of a lot easier than a DG account. Walmart dedicated is no touch, and mostly drop and hook. If pulling WM reefer, you just tail gate and pull labels off a pallet as they come off, and place it on the stop sheet
