Companies with shortest training period?

Schneider has a 3 week orientation, you'll do 2 weeks of training in class learning the
Schneider's way of doing things, Qualcom system, trip planning, backing, and learning how they want you to couple and uncouple the trailers. If you can do that basic stuff they'll send you out on your last week with a trainer. If you do okay and feel comfortable with handling the truck, your basically out on your own after that, or if not they'll keep you with the trainer for a little bit longer.

 

You at WDT? I told the guys in my class: When I get outside there. I’m gonna pick up a rabid dog from the spca. Put him in the passenger seat, and name him after the teacher.

 

Sir it Ma'am, with all respect, you shouldn't attempt to control an 80000 pound projectile if you can't control anxiety.

That being said my company put out a request to our trainers asking for a volunteer that was willing to take student and his service dog. I'm sure it wasn't a seeing eye dog, so I can only speculate a hearing problem or perhaps an anxiety problem.

The point being, you don't ease anxiety by short cutting training. My first day solo was brutal. I can't imagine surviving it if I was impaired in any way, physical or mental.

Your career will be short... after all this effort.

I highly recommend a service animal, and then proceed. You might be surprised how many company's will accommodate your situation.

If you are thinking of pursuing a service animal...stop CDL school until you get that resolved. The reason being, companys look at school and on job training as a single event. They don't expect to see a break of any significant time in between.

I admire your ambition and wish you well. Talk to companies first, then proceed when you find ones that will accommodate you.

 

Excuse me for making the rash assumption that you have a disability... being an idiot is a constitutional right...go for it bro

 

Control problems, you really should consider another vocation, And should you be interested in the company that will train you the best, not the shortest. Your not even licensed yet, and looking to cut corners. You should go to CRST for training I believe they suit you best.

 

If your biggest concern is living with someone in a truck, have you thought about getting a local truck driving job, so you can be home every night?
