    Well it would seem my objective of driving for Schneider again has been delayed for a few months. I had really hoped to get trained to drive tankers for them but my lack of recent experience has derailed that for now. The original recruiter I spoke with had told me that I would not need a refresher course since it had not been 10 years since I had driven for Schneider only 7 years. But the next lady that was doing my interview said so much had changed since I drove in 06 that I would need one. Unfortunately it just costs way more than I can afford right now so I guess I will drive for one of the companies that does offer its own refresher and get some experience. Maybe after satisfying my commitment to that company I will get my chance wit Schneider again.

    Thanks. I did but they only offer it during the week and I would have to give up my current job to go. I simply cannot do that without knowing I could start the trucking job right after finishing.

    Maybe if you explain to the recruiter the situation you could tell her you're taking the class on whatever date and could you immediately start the following week. Keep in mind even if you go to any companies orientation you don't actually have the job yet. You have to pass the physical and all the driving stuff before you're officially hired
