    Sorry about the thread title.... having three seperate companies listed.

    I am looking to get back into the trucking industry after an almost 10-year hiatus. Thus, my CDL has expired and I am looking at different companies that will accept my "newbieness" status.

    Prior to leaving the U.S. Army back in 1993, I had attended a Schneider employment seminar held on-post. I was really impressed, though I never did act upon Schneider.

    Comes now 19 years later, and I have a renewed interest in the thought of driving for Schneider.

    First, I would like to know if there are any drivers out there that have experience working with Schneider Trucking and any comments that they may have.

    Second, I am based out of Salt Lake City, Utah and am not provided with any sort of direct CDL training through Schneider. I am not even sure that Schneider provides any direct training. Instead, I would be required to take training through one of two national companies, located her in the Salt Lake City region: Roadmaster, or Sage.

    Third, any thoughts, or experience with Roadmaster?

    Fourth, any thoughts, or experience with Sage?

    Your comments, advice and ideas would be certainly appreciated to this "newbie" of the pre-9/11 days of the trucking industry!!

    Thanks much!! :biggrin_25514:

    Go to the Motor Carrier Dac report section and check out some of the Schneider threads. I don't think they run a school anymore though. Use the search feature and check out some threads plenty of info. there.

    I will tell you though SNI will hire you ...i am not sure if your GI Bill has expired or not but you might get your CDL paid for by the VA possibly worth looking into. Hell I got back into the National Guard and they paid for my refresher course ...I owe for the original school i went to yet.

    I can tell you for sure that Schneider does not run a school anymore, they are talking about reopening one in Dallas but none right now. They do offer tuition reimbursement up to $150 a month and up to like $4000 total or something like that. Pretty sure we have a Salt Lake opp center you would be based out of. Depending on what you wanted to do would obviously effect your run, Regional (west coast for you) OTR/System, dedicated, local, team, bulk so on and so forth. You'd be rolling a Freight Liner '06-'11 depending on what is available for you at the time of hire. Trucks governed at 60mph on cruise, 65 on petal. After you're hired you'll have a week at Schneider learning how we do things and then 2 weeks with a trainer for over the road training, after the 2 OTR training weeks you test and get your truck. I could ramble on about this stuff and just fill your head with stuff you already know, so if you have any questions you'd like answered toss me a PM or just ask here and I'll try to get back to you when I stop.
