Officially got hired at Schneider today!
So this week has been week #1 of the new orientation/training layout at Schneider. Though there have been a few kinks to work out here and there, it seems that all the instructors are liking the new system better than how it previously worked.
In case any of you are interested in coming on to SNI, here's basically what you can expect from training. A detailed blog of every day is on my blog at http://metzgerovertheroad.wordpress.com/
Today I got "officially hired" at SNI (have been training in Green Bay this week) and got my ComData card and everything, so definitely was a good day.
Basically the way training works now is that training starts on Tuesday. Tuesday-Saturday is a combination of classroom work, as well as working in groups of 2-3 with an instructor going over everything from pre-trip to maneuvering, backing, shifting, etc. Also some pretty helpful simulator sessions, too (i.e. Front tire blowout).
Right after the first week, you go out with a TE (Training engineer) for one week (Sunday to Sunday). After that, you will come right back to the operating center you started out in for a few more days of classroom work (more detailed instruction on the electronics used, how to deal with customers, etc.) Then you take a quality skills test, and that's it.
SNI seems to be an extremely reputable company, and have more than exceeded my expectations thus far. Any new drivers who are looking for a good company to work for, SNI seems to be a good choice for sure.

That and patience. The company I got laid off from 2 weeks ago...the workers would complain if you gave them a $100 bill...I was the only one that never did that, and they got rid of me? Their loss, my gain...even if I make $35k my first year I break even.
My point is...this is the most positive thing I've heard of all the "mega-carriers"...yeah people ##### and complain, we all do it...but it gets old (if not entertaining) ...just have to take it like a grain of sand, and brush it off...move on and keep humpin.
I can't wait to start school and being busy again. In my opinion, my career of busting my ##### off starts Monday
