werner or schneider

I am a recent CDL graduate who paid my own way to school and owe nothing to the school . I would prefer to be home more , would prefer to work for a company who has a better record of safety and allowing drivers to use their discretion on what that means. I have a CDL-A and HAZMAT.

I'm all set to start orientation for werner in PA by next week. However, i was looking some times for other opportunities with what I considered more respected , safe, and reliable companies. That led me to SNI as my second choice.
The starting time are nearly the same so that is not a huge factor to me.

I have been offered a regional route for SNI that would put me home two days a week. Their base training AND orientation would take two weeks before I could start on my own route. I am not sure with no experience that this is even a good idea.

werner has offered me a National van route that would put me out something like 14-17 days/ 2 home. Their training AND Orientation would take nearly 4-5 weeks. The training seems more substantial but would take longer and put me farther away from a real paycheck and away from home longer at a time.

I really do not feel comfortable "stringing" both companies along and would like to make a decision this week . As mentioned before, the starting date and pay are both comparable. SNI could put me in my own truck sooner, and home more often. Werner appeared to have better training period.

I have really struggled to make the right decision because I want to go to work for one company and stay there. I do not want to spend my career bouncing around and always looking for a better place to work. I want to make the correct decision the first time.

Thanks in advance!

 

i don't think 10 days is enough really , we didn't have chance to drive that often at school to put us in the road that fast , and in the others hand you have werner that pay you $350 and use you for 8 full weeks . confused ??????

 

yes pa for most northeast a guess
