How real is this going to get? Schneider Bulk Training?

You have gotten yourself into trucking, that's what. FurFur, you have got to get some experience somewhere and believe me, working New Years Day is not unusual in this industry. I wouldn't worry so much about what other people say about your company. I whole heatedly believe you could start your career working for much worse companies. No, I don't work for Schneider.

 

Your lack of patience may be counterproductive in this industry.
We do a lot of waiting. And forget the calendar as you know it. This is not your 9 to 5, not even close.

 

As it's been said...(to quote Hyman Roth-[Godfather 2]) "This is the life we have chosen". You have a chance to make a very good living...but not at first. You could get a job that suits your preferences...but not at first. If you get into bulk hauling, Schneider is about as good a place as you can get to get the training you're gonna need. One thing however they won't be able to teach you is patience...and that might be the most important thing for you to possess as a truck driver. Go through the training, learn everything you possibly can, and then spend a year or two putting together an impeccable safety & service record. After that you may be surprised to find out just how easy it'll be to find a job that meets a large percentage of your requirements (No company does 100%).

 

I worked for Schneider and I took maximum benefit of their training. It was better than most companies and leaving now will hurt you more in the long run. Not only training wise but showing you can’t hold a job longer than a month.

 

You seem like you have a brain.....

You shoulda waited on Fastenal- Way Better opportunity.

They certainly wouldn't keep you in a box on New Years day- Just for starters.

Schneider along with many other mega carriers want to control you like your in a military like quandra.

Forget about it- Go for the Gold standard with Fastenal. Youll thank me later.

 

Schneider tanker drivers make good money; don't think you have anything to worry about on that.
After Schneider, try to get on with Trimac Transportation Elite Fleet and make over $100K per year. Coast to coast.

 

Like they say, if you want to be a "trucker" hang in there. The song "patience" by guns and roses? Mayby play it. My son and i both worked for the same company once, and the fleet manager used to play it for him. We all had a laugh. A long time later he pulled tank for Andrews Logistics. Think his earnings were in the 70s and home every wknd.

 

Not all places require you to shave.
I pull a chemical tanker and have a pretty long beard
Stick with them for a year and move on.
Im local M-F weekends if I want them, Did 92k
Could of made alot more if I worked Saturdays
