Schneider or Werner?

Schneider. They're higher on the bottom of the totem pole than weiner.

 

You are about to step in it. Hope you put your boots back on! Lol

 

Absolutely. Tony llamas check.

 

the training time you suggested sounds low....
I thought it was 3-6 weeks out with a driver at his discretion.
I have a friend going to schneider and that's what his deal is.

 

I swear, all this "trainer this" and "schooling that" crap just boggles my mind. Way back when, I got in a truck with a CDL holder for about 4 hours, then went and got my test done. Training/orientation at my first gig was about 1 1/2 mile road test, then a pat on the back, a set of keys, and a "don't screw my truck or my loads up, driver", and that was that.

I think I'm under-qualified to become a driver now after 17+ years.....

 

Schneider won't give you #### for shutting down in bed weather. When they say your the captain of your ship they mean it. I'm not on the company side but, I know this to be true.

 

Schneider would be my choice between the two. That two weeks in the classroom actually covers some important information, if memory serves. Plus, Schneider has multiple opportunities. Dry box, tanker, container, and if rumor is correct Schnieder may be returning to the flatbed game (God help us all!).

Remember, you aren't picking the company you will retire from. Take the time, get the best training bang for your buck (including classroom time) and learn all you can. This is an incredibly skilled job for being "unskilled labor".

 

No trainers, no check rides, nada nothing but you break it, you'll be the one fixing it and if you ain't rollin we aint makin no money... understand.
Fortunately I did have a good extended network of skilled operators that held support meetings most weekends, Plenty of Ice Cold... well anyway.
One had a REO with a DripTroit with a 5n2, was good for skills Assesments
talk about loud
Actual training, what a novel idea..
