See if you can grab some lunch coupons from a class that is graduating. Then you can get some more free meals.

Double clutching is the only way they want you to shift. How you do it after you get your truck is up to you. Just as long as you double clutch during training and on your SQT and follow-up safe checks.
The tanker endorsement is easy. Unless you live in Tennessee. You're pretty much stuck then. You have to have 1 yr truck experience before TN will give you a tanker endorsement.
My state CDL book had maybe 4 pages on tankers. That's how easy or "we don't care about tankers attitude" that Florida has it.
So yeah, they'll prep you for your state's cdl test and to get your X endorsement.
You need to have your cdl permit before you go. But you don't need to know any tanker info (or very little) to get that. -
How is it going out there now? You have been out there a few months now. How do you like it? Also, how do you like the Bulk Division? -
Per Diem DON"T DO IT. in the long run it ends up hurting your social security. It helps the companies out and that's why the push it so much. Just something to think about.
Far as Sni goes, long as you hook up with a good STL you will do well for a beginner truck driver. Sni training was great at the time i went threw (4 years ago) All the tools are there for you to learn and be a safe driver on the road. The point of this is you must take advantage of what they offer you. Not everybody was really focused on learning but just there because they had to be. Its up to you in what you will learn from them... but its all there.. I personally say Sni is about a 2 year company then you may want to consider going elsewhere. Stay a full year at the min with them.
All and all they was not a bad company to work for. After a year of driving under you belt you can make more money elsewhere but may have to go threw a bunch more crap in order to do so. At least that's my experience. -

Good luck to you.

Anyone have any XP with both Schneider and Central Refridgerated Services, and if so how do they compare? I originally considered signing with SNI but then heard lots of good recommendations for CRS so I applied there (plus they're a little closer to home) and just got excepted, tho I won't start training for another 6 weeks (current work situation).
Now my main reason for asking is that I've recently read some posts knocking the reefer biz and as a newb I don't think I want the extra headaches at least not right out of the gate. So am considering applying to Schneider as well - any idea which one offers the best home time??? Thanks for any info ;?D -
Sni is a good company for beginners. At the time I worked for them they was really decent about getting you home. Most companies with the 2 weeks out and 2 days off usually want a 1 week notice of a home time request. They also offered 5 guaranteed home times a year, another words they guaranteed you to be home 5 times a year with short notice. Dunno if they still offer that but they once did.david07003 Thanks this.
