CDL Apprenticeship Program

If you are a new company driver you generally will be out with a trainer for a period of weeks usually.

If you are new Owner Operator, then you should already possess the keys anyway.

 

Is that the Military Apprenticeship Program?

 

Seems like a good deal.

 

Week 1 and 2 at the OC doing classroom and behind the wheel training.

Week 3 and 4 spent with a trainer out on the road.

Week 5 back at the OC test out to get cdl.

I went thru the program to get my license so if you have any other questions let me know. I can give lots of details if you need, but ufc is on so I just have ya a quick outline.

 

Hazmat Cat you went through this training? There's got to be a catch somewhere doesn't there? A no contract paid training from Schneider doesn't seem right. If so do they offer it only in Charlotte? Is it for van only or tanker as well? If you go through the training and wind up leaving if it doesn't work out you owe them nothing?

 

Yes, I went through it.

I don’t know what you would consider a catch, it’s a training program that helps you get your CDL. I guess the catch would be that since Schneider has all automatic trucks, you will have an auto restriction on your license. I didn’t throw a big fuss about it like I see people do on here. I wanted that license.

Yes, they pay you cause they want you to work for them afterwards, but there is no contract or non-compete. They hope you’ll like what they have to offer.

The training is not just offered in Charlotte, I attended training in Indianapolis. I believe it’s IN, NC, and TX. Your location matters. I was only 60 miles away from the OC, they told me the cut off was 75 miles, but it depends on the accounts they need filled too.

Tanker is available but additional training is needed/provided for that after you get the CDL.

If you leave, You don’t owe anything because there is no cost. You would be wasting your time if you did that though.

You have to show up with your class A permit. I think that answered your questions.
