schneider reject

Hard to address your concerns without knowing what the water is.

If it's something minor, you'll eventually get a job. Something major, you won't.

The best thing you can do at this point, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Try putting in multiple applications, with other companies.

The companies you see advertising higher pay scales, usually have a backlog of applications. Some/most with more experience than you.

 

I feel your pain, but really schneider is a hell hole anyway and I would never try working for them again. I was going their training program and was kicked out in two days, and for what? my hearing aids I ended up going to college with SAGE and had no problems getting my CDL from them and etc. My driving was fine when I was in schneider training, but my trainer was being a ### and said something to his boss, who just kicked me out without any warnings. I had to get a bus ticket back home. My best friend who went with me at the time also got treated to get kicked out. So... He end up leaving them like one day after I got kicked out. Really don't worry about them.

 

Maybe so maybe no. It's hard to say, if they don't ask then you don't tell. Keep your mouth shut and you might get through. If it's not on your driving record then your probably good. The key to all of this is get your CDL.

 

Hmmm... Started Sept 1st, were you due to graduate on Sep 15? Green Bay?
If so that was my class...

 

I was just in the pre-hire stage. A disorderly conduct was on my record from three years ago that I clean forgot about since at the time my Mom was dying ( I obviously had bigger fish to fry at the time) and her landlord got drunk and got in my face, promising me an asswhipping all the while knowing she was in the hospital dying. Let's just say it didn't work out as he expected...


From what I'm hearing, I don't feel it's a great loss. I did get a free DOT physical out of the deal... which I think is about a 60.00 value... LOL

 

I have been working on my "physical wellness" for several months now, high blood pressure, and bad left eye, and couple of surgeries on right knee.

Been to eye Dr. MD and got great glasses, and new medication for high blood pressure, which is under control now.

To start Schneider school soon.

 

Schneider training is great but it's too fast for lots of us. I had to drop out the day before graduation. It hasn't hindered me, other than time-wise, but then I already had my CDL. Why not think about a community college program or Sage maybe. There's lots of advice on this site about trucking schools. I think sometimes you can get a grant or scholarship maybe. Or, alternatively, a lot of trucking companies will reimburse what you paid up to a certain amount. My company will pay $100/mo. up to $3,000 total.
Good luck with it!

 

Yep, it is way to fast to even get used to the truck first since you have never driven anything that big, that was the reason they were going to kick out my best friend, they said he was not learning fast as they wantted him to, jeez like was like his third day in training. Well he never try getting his CDL after all this happen and gave up, but me on the other hand did try again and get my CDL like 4 years ago, but I no longer driving and I wish I could drive again. All over one accident that flipped me over at 25mph. I guess I may not able to drive again because of this accident. Folks, please watch around you and every ramp you go on. It don't take much at all just to get it started tipping over. It all happen so fast. Peace.
