Dedicated Question

Welcome, I'm sure someone will no something about Schneider, but I can tell you from my husband experience, don't put to much trust in a dedicated route per say just starting off. The good ones go to the guys who have put their time in. If you need money too, m-f jobs won't pay as well as long "outs". There are companies out there that will work you m-f though, my husbands will bring him in every friday if that's what he wants, we just need the money so he stays out longer. Good luck, do some investigating on here yourself too, there's alot of wise answers, you just have to look for them.

 

I read alot here that companies will tell of dedicated runs available then at end of school will tell you they are taken.
Just run OTR for a while till more open.
They knew that there were non available for a new driver, just a ploy to get you in the system.

 

Actually we have 11 hours to drive but we can not drive past or 14th hour being on duty.

If you plan on driving a bus later on make sure when you get your permit you also get the passenger endorsement and the school bus endorsement because I have seen alot of old church buses and they are old school buses the school bus endorsement is just to cover you butt in case you get the wrong cop that wants to be a jerk.

Also make sure that the truck driving school knows that you want your bus / passenger endorsements that is a seperate test that has to be done in addition to the tractor trailer test.

Atleast that is what they tell me here in Colorado.
