Schneider National... The new drivers savior.

Schneider seems to have a good rep from a lot of folks on this board. Sounds to me like they are worth a good look.

 

He talks about all the GOOD things with Schneider. Now tell everyone how many loads you had to unload by your own hands. Lets be honest, because I know for a fact if you say you never, then you are a bare faced liar.

 

good thing you can read!
Read the post again and then post your apology.

 

I was thinking the same thing EvilTwin.

 

I have been nothing but happy with Schneider from the first day. Be that because they are a good company (to me at least) or because I have really low expectations I don't know. Sure as hell a lot better then TransAm where I started my driving career. Oh and I have never touched freight for Schneider, nor have I been asked to. I'm a driver, not a lumper.

I'm curious, I read a few dozen openings that Schneider had on their website and it seemed that almost all of them (possibly even 100%) required the rig be parked at their terminal during your home time.

Perhaps I am missing something but what if you live 100 miles from their terminal? Do they make exceptions or do they simply not hire you? Does anyone know how their schooling reimbursement works? Is it paid at the end of a year, immediate or added weekly to a check? Also will reimbursement only be provided if you volunteer to a team driving position, I seen another company only did it that way recently?

 

I am dispatched out of Carlilse,PA, the closest OC is Charlotte,NC,(200miles) and I take my truck home with me to Wilmington, NC all the time

 

Years ago it was 75 miles or more from an OC or OP and you took the truck home. Then they upped it to 100. I'm not sure what it is now. If you're on a dedicated account, you almost always had to park at your home OC/OP. Thats why dedicated usually only hires within a certain radius of a facility. But like everything, there are excptions.

 

So does SNI still reimberse for schooling? they used to have a in house program but i cant find ne info on the web site stating they still have that program available, anyone know?
