Knight Or J&R Schugel

Good Ol Columbus. Did J&R ever expand the property? there use to be a gate and a huge grass lot that was divided by a fence. I thought and heard that they were bidding and could expand their lot because it is tight there especially if there isn't openings in certain spots for dropped loaded trailers and such. You'll have to let me know. When I went they flew me to Minnesota even though I was from MA. you'll get food vouchers for lunch and Dinner not much or actually not even sure they do that anymore but you should defiantly do a day to day for a little while. I did one a while back. ill follow I like hearing about them. Not sure what Columbus has to offer for trucks lots a freight liners there. They are letting you choose correct? back then they didnt have that stuff. Also, there is a decent chinese place that delivers to the terminal if you got bored with what ever they feed. BUT the best place to get chinese chicken wings is at the Tomah, WI terminal!!!!!!! Anyways, I wonder if they still give out the key for all there locks on the trailers and such. I some how got 2 in orientation so i just handed one back lol. Only thing I didn't like about schugel and it being my first company away from my first company after receiving my CDL are those super singles. takes some time to get use to in winter, oh and BTW invest in a serious COAT and winter hat, and grab as much diesel treat for winter.....I thought that NE was cold until I went to Minnesota LMAO!! BRRRRRRRRRR

Welp, if you have any questions or anything give me a shout ill try to help. Im handing you over the reins here so have fun, be safe, and good luck!

 

When I was there for orientation 4 weeks ago they had that lot cleared and getting it ready for whatever they are doing over there .... they say it will be thier drop/parking lot.

 

nice, I have a rabbit hound and every time I was there I would see so many cottontail rabbits lol

 

There is a lot of food options around the hotel. When you start orientation they give you the option of those vouchers for Culvers or cash ... of course everyone takes the cash. They will give you $20 per day ... $10 for lunch and $10 for dinner. They will want receipts too. They want to make sure you are getting food and eating. Some of the guys in my group went over to Walmart and bought stuff to cook in the microwave in the room ... they were cool with that too.

 

Wait to go over there ... you can drive. Depending on the size of your class they will give you one or two vans to share for the week. Dont go crazy with them ... they know where they are at all times ... lol.

 

Glad to hear all is going well, man~!

from: your biggest fan~!!

 

They have trucks there. There was a mix of Freightliners and Kenworths there .... most of my class got Freightliners .... BUT that was 4 weeks ago, not a clue whats there now.
