I don't know what to do....

It makes no difference if it is illegal for publicly held companies to engage in nepotism, or not.
Southernboy_Dew was inquiring about Schneider which is not a publicly held company.
It's owned entirely by the Schneider family.

 

Southernbooy,
Based on what you've explained, if I were you, I'd run the idea of attending the community college to obtain a CDL-A by your present employer to get his take on the matter. If he agrees to put you in the 18-wheeler upon graduation I'd go that route.

Keep in mind though, that driving a Big truck locally isn't a walk in the park. That's why most companies that run local require a year or two of OTR driving to gain experience.
However, if you could work out a deal with the present driver of the 18-wheeler where you work to help train you once you've graduated, or possibly while you're still attending community college, I think that would be a win/win situation for you.

 

Good point Aftershcock.
