Heading To Schneider

Thank You!

 

I received my hotel room confirmation this morning. Everything has been very well organized and professional. Driving up to Bedford Park Illinois on Sunday for Monday orientation.

 

I don't even like driving around Chicago. I once had to make a delivery of some cable right under the Sears Tower. Had to do it twice....

 

Just received my final follow up call before orientation. I was very happy to hear that they do not make the experienced drivers share a room...!

 

Completed my first day. Had drug and hair follicle test. Lots of videos to watch. Had to pass their hazmat certification test. You get three attempts...passed on first try.
The instructors and all of the other drivers were great. I had to spend some time on the simulator. Had multiple drive tire skids and steer tire blow outs. After not driving since May, it was interesting to say the least.
Had some great pizza for lunch. Was given three nice Company shirts. Will receive three more Friday.
They really stress safety and that the driver has the final say if it is unsafe to drive.
Tomorrow will be out in the yard for some hands on. Should be fun!
