1. Can you drive to orientation? If so, is there a place to park your car? Is it best just to ride the hound?
2. How do you keep food costs down? What are some ways of cooking in the truck when schneider doesn't allow inverters?
3. How are you combating the new ambient sensor? I was optimistic about Schneider installing APUs (that's what the website claimed) until I attended a FB recruiting chat the other day and the Schneider representative claimed that through field testing they found that APUs were no good. How do you keep cool?
4. Are there many female trainers? I do not mind having a male trainer, but am interested in some of the specific lifestyle challenges of female drivers.
5. What's the worst place you've ever been to (hardest dock, worst city to drive, most dangerous area, etc)?
6. Are there any other companies you would recommend for a newbie starting out? I chose Schneider because a lot of old hands recommended them (before the new crap like ambient sensor and so forth), and because they have a tuition reimbursement program.
A few questions

WYWH Thanks this.

I tried Prime, but there are women who have been waiting over a year for a female trainer because Prime won't place female trainees with male trainers since that sexual harassment lawsuit. I could probably never drive team. I'm a loner.

Yes you can drive to the OC and you will gas reimbursement. You can park at the hotel and ride over with rest of group. Been out here 17 years or so I guess can't really any place I hate to back into. Do hate heights so going over bridges is a little never racking. Driving in the caves can be interesting challenge or driving I80 in a blizzard can be fun. All tractors are equipped with bunk heaters. SNI will sell a ic a tractor with a apu but not on a company truck. Maintenance is a issue there. Food by a12 volt lunch box or throw a can of Spaghetti O's on a turbo.

So no Air conditioning when you are in the sleeper at night and it is summer??
-
If the outside temp is over 70* you can idle and have the AC on

You can fool the sensor, with in certain temp ranges. Also some of the newer trucks have EPU's installed.
