    Oh I missed your question at the end; they gave me 100 hours because I’ve driven a little before and I’m not fresh out of trucking school; we’re going somewhere in Ohio tonight and I’ve been up that way a couple times last winter; I thought the 100 hours was a little low mostly because of not learning much in the way of load securement, but I think I’m starting to begin to grasp the fundamentals at least.

    not really but ####...100 hours can be done in 2 weeks
    why did you choose western express? Surely you knew of their reputation prior to signing on with them?

    They’re one of the few companies who would take me since I haven’t been able to complete the training process at 2 other companies since I got my CDL last year; personally idc what name is etched on a tractor or trailer, just want to get in my experience so that I can move up the ladder, but good training would have also been nice.

    Well... I missed this thread.
    Log in at WE was driver code / driver code when I was trainer there.

    The trainer has an app that automatically populates your info when he’s assigned to you.

    Yes he could drive on your code.

    Right......
    at Schneider it's your driver number and date of birth.
    so, it's basically anything they want it to be
