schneider truck school ????s

They may have a different contract at that school in Dallas, I know they have had different ones at different schools based on where you live and I think that probably stems from their hiring needs in that area at the time or state laws.
Your best to contact Schenider direct and ask them, their pretty good at answering questions.

 

Vintage Cowgirl, My sister and brother in law attended Schiender driving school about 10 yrs ago. I have been driving nearly 30 yrs. And have trained many drivers myself ( am presently a driver trainer for the company I work for). I recomended to my sister to go to Schnieder for the reasons of there training facility. and the fact that I didnt feel comfoftable training a family member. Schiender has an excellant training program.. they are one of few companies that use a skid pad to train students on emergency stopping on wet road conditions. Also they have a truck equipted with outrigger wheels that simulates what a rollover would feel like.
So I'm sure you can see where you will be getting your moneis worth in training. Cowgirl if there rates have increased over years your still getting a good deal some of these driving schools are charging 10,000 $$ for training and dont nearly give the training they should !!! Best of luck Ma'am jetgang

 

Hi! My wife and I just finished Schneider's training Academy and highly recommend it. The training we recieved was far superior to the so-called CDL mills out there. They teach you everything you need to know and more....not just what you need to pass your state's CDL exam.

As for the contract....you sign a bunch of contracts your first day of training. Included is one that states you pay only $12.50 a week for 72 weeks for a total of $900.00. Don't get lost in all the downloadable stuff....

Schneider also gives you 3 days to back out without any obligation, so if you get to the training center and don't like what you hear, or are not satisfied with the training they send you home.

Be safe....

 

Walk into the local unemployment office, or call, and see if you qualify WIA (workforce investment act). It's a federal program that is meant to get more workers into certain fields, and trucking is one of them.

Many states also have trucking school payments, check your state's dot or employment agency for information.

You can get training at a community college , you'd be giving back the government its own money, rather than paying for a job. Just something to think about.

 

Hey Vintage I won't be going to the school because of that ticket issue that has to go away by the local solicitor. Anyway I did call them before I found out I couldn't go and asked about the contract. They told me that the contract that you and I were reading was only for if we backed out of the other contract for them paying for the training. I hope you do well with it. I was going to be with them but God has other plans so I will do as lead.
