    Stevens has their own cdl school in Dallas, TX but send students that aren't Texas residents to private cdl schools. You will probably be sent to Denver (Keenesburg), CO for private school.
    Transportation, tuition, meals, lodging, is free to you.

    None of that is going to be worth a #### thing if you dont have enough toilet paper. Get your priorities straight

    They aren’t interested in hiring you and your problems…nothing more.

    Recruiters at Schneider are cowards..

    Yeah, and don't mention Schneider to Stevens Transport or any other trucking company. If you badmouth another company, you'll be labeled a troublemaker.
    You weren't an employee of Schneider, so don't talk about it.

    Schneider was the first company to give me a pre hire. Went through the application and phone interview only to be put on ignore after not fitting the “mold”.

    Specifically my work history.

    They ignored all my calls and emails afterwards, that’s why I called them cowards.

    Most companies just lie and say, "We've hired a more qualified applicant."

    My brother was in Dallas in a motel when that tornado hit. He was right there in Lancaster.

    He spent the night in the bathtub. It got so close it was roaring like a freight train and it dropped air pressure in the room.
