Schneider CDL School

I made a post already about Stevens transport vs. Roehl. I think I might have caught a break though. I called Schneider just for the heck of it and asked if they provide paid cdl training for someone that doesn't have a cdl license. They said yes and what they do is send me to a local school in my home state and pay for the whole tuition but in return I have to work for them for 1 year. In my opinion this is a lot better than me having to drive my own car out to Wisconsin for Roehl or even further out to Colorado for Stevens transport. I'm almost positive they're going to send me to NETTTS in Pawtucket Rhode island since I'm in Massachusetts and plus I've been to NETTTS before to talk about their school and one of the companies that goes there to try and recruit you after you finish school was Schneider. I think this is my best opportunity only because I'll only have to drive about 45 mins for school training.

 

I know it used to be you needed to pay for the school yourself then once you get hired by Schneider they reimburse you for the school tuition but now I guess they also have an option that they pay for the school outright and you just need to commit to a 1 year contract in return. I honestly don't know more than that as for the schools they send you to. I have a phone interview scheduled for next week that's the next step and I have no idea what they're going to ask me they only told me that's when who ever I talk to will tell me more about the specifics such as which schools they deal with.

 

They still offer the reimbursement program but like I said now they also offer a program where they pay for your cdl school as long as you work for them for 1 year. Also yes I know pretty much as a rookie I won't make much but at least I'll have my cdl and experience. Plus Schneider has a drop yard an hour away from me so it would work out good.

 

@wsyrob well I'm sure no matter if you was with a company through a contract or just a direct hire with your cdl already you would get fired either way for backing into another truck lol
