In case you haven’t figured it out yet, when a poster says ”SNI” they mean Schneider (Schneider National Inc.).
Can anyone tell me about this company.

I went to Prime; failed at backing after being on the road for 3weeks, you can't failed more than 3 trails/ days there, that's the worst part of being train by the company. There 's no penalty to the trainer, in my cased he just ask his manager for a new driver(one with CDL) to replaced me; I wish he was a bit more helpful since he getting double the miles/pay; I rotated with him in the driver seat. Best to go to school..and get reimbursement later.Last edited: May 17, 2015
Clamhammer Thanks this. -
I am in the Houston area as well, I just finished orientation with Schneider, I did their program where they pay for my school and I have a 1 year contract with them. The school I went to was Houston Community College and from my experience, it is a very good program. The normal CDL program is 6 weeks but the Schneider class is 4 weeks than you will start orientation about 1-2 weeks after that.
I chose HCC for a couple of reasons, one was I live in Baytown so it was one of the closer ones to me, the other is I read a few reviews on here about the school being one of the better ones in the area. It is located where Hwy 90 and 610 meet.
I am in my 2nd week actually driving and so far it isn't too bad, I've had a few local runs and 1 OTR so far. I would have another OTR run tomorrow but I had requested Friday off so my DBL told me that it would just be something local. If you have any questions feel free to message me.Newbietotheroad Thanks this. -
I pulled vans and reefers for a decade before wising up pulling tanks. I killed myself to bring home a $1000 dollars a week working 5 or even 6 days. Spending up to 20 hours a week at customers UNPAID is no way to earn a living. Pulling a tank I bring home $1100 working Tuesday through Friday on a dedicated route.
A few years ago when I got into tanker yanking I would always ask Schneider bulk drivers for advice. They are very well trained for multiple scenarios and overall very knowledgable. Defiantly wish I had started pulling tanks sooner.Newbietotheroad Thanks this.
