    Hello. I just got my az and after I took extra lessons on manual. I got job offer from Schneider ,which is 3 weeks of training and after 0.37 cpm. My question is , is this the average rookie driver pay in Canada. Should I do one year with this company because they have a really good training program and later move around once I know ins and outs of this industry. What would you guys recommend ? Would you start your career with this pay ? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    Any questions you may have I can answer then re Schneider I started here almost a year ago. I would look around considering you are in the Toronto area as there are tons of companies hiring

    I'm trying to look around but everyone needs someone with at least one year of experience. I was thinking work with Schneider for a bit and then move on to a better company with little bit of experience under my belt. And also how do I look for companies hiring in my area ? Online ?

    Driverlink.com is a good site to find companies if you're in Ontario.

    Yep. Tons of job banks out there. Schneider is a good company to start with and their training program is solid. In the end I am leaving for more home time and more money

    I agree with Terry, I worked for Schneider for 2 years when I was fresh out of driving school; I enjoyed my time there and I thought it was a good company to work for; I left for the same reason and I have never returned to OTR.

    Thanks for your help guys. I wanna have really good training before I go out on the road by myself. I have chosen trucking as my career I wanna have a solid base to build my career on. I think I'm gonna start off with Schneider.

    Here is how the three week training breaks down

    Two full days and five half days of in class
    Four half days spent with a in school trainer

    Seven to ten days spent with a otr trainer, you drive at least 95% of the time

    Pass the test and you are on your own
     
    TruckerBri and Traveler3492 Thank this.

    Thanks for all the info. By the way what kind of trucks do they have. I know should be happy with whatever I get to start with but I'm just curious.
