I finished driver training yesterday, and am starting next week as a regional driver. I had a blast during the otr training week, and had a great trainer for that week. I can't believe I'm finally doing this. Driving an 18 wheeler has been a dream of mine since I was a kid! Any advice from current or past Schneider drivers is always appreciated!
Ps, I got my first feel for Jill during the 2nd week, and I might have cussed at her a few times lol. I don't know if she's better, or that amazing onguard system
I'm in the pumpkin club

be accurate in your trip planning, be on time(to your best ability), dont hit anything. If driving at night and you flash a faster truck over, turn your headlights off instead of flashing brights. Yes I know daytime lights will still be on, but it still sends a signal as those lights are dimmer.

Cover your CMS with a plastic bag when driving in winter conditions.
Jill is an idiot, don't listen to her.
Don't play with your phone or piss in a bottle while you're driving, wait until you stop.
Turn your phone off when you're off duty.Gin86 Thanks this. -
Also, would they seriously say something about having a cb radio in there? Imo they should be a requirement considering all the weather conditions we go through along with everything else, especially for newbies. My trainer has a '14 Cascadia and the reception on his was awful. Once I get one I plan to get either a mirror mounted antenna or the side mount on sleeper area. -
