Schneider Cancels All Training, closes schools?!?!

well if it helps any.....they rejected my application....said they werent currently hiring. im a newbie with no experience by the way.

 

I'm not surprised . With more companies going out of business there are more experienced drivers looking for jobs . Wannabes better think twice before paying for their own schooling . There is not the driver shortage there once was and too many people losing jobs n other careers are thinking they'll give trucking a try . Watch this abundance of available hirees result in low wages and more abuse .

 

My hunting buddy who does factory work said that a bunch of guys from his factory are going to get their CDL when layed off
Thinks aren't looking good right now
They read the ad's that talk about a grand a week, and drool

 

Should tell your hunting buddy to tell his friends to come visit this site if they want the reality of it.

 

I heard the same thing. I was shocked actually. Didn't think I would see that one happen. It is getting bad, no doubt. I feel so bad for those people that think they are going to bust right out of school pulling in a grand a week...try more like $300/week for a while if they're lucky. Problem is, this only makes the roads worse as you have a bunch of new drivers on the road who are not happy campers and are bitter...not a good mix. Once they feel the first shaft slipping up their posteriors and realize what trucking reality is...they turn mean, LOL.

 

I spoke to a recruiter 4/24/2009 and they are hiring for tanker drivers. The recruiter gave me a list of things i had to fax to her including my certificate from the cdl scholl that i graduated from 3/16/2009. Hope this info helps.

 

Im waiting for Schneider to open up their tanker position here in the Northeast. Hope it happens soon.
