Is Schneider a good starter company?

Who in the world told you 3 - 6 months with a trainer? That's insane. As far as Schneider goes...they have multiple accts. that all pay different. W - 2 pay. Never do that 1099 crap, period. I'd recommend Schneider over Swift, Prime, and the other biggies any day. Go on there website under driver jobs, put in your zip code and start looking.

 

Read the following Forum thread (the whole thing), and then think about it:

My first and last week as a new Schneider Driver. | TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board (thetruckersreport.com)

Granted, his situation of course does not happen to every incoming driver. But really???

What does that sort of story say about any carrier?!?

Find someone else who treats new blood better...MUCH better.

Look at TransAm.
I think riding with a trainer is less than two weeks.
CDL school tuition reimbursement also.
All tractors come equipped with an Auxiliary Power Unit (“APU”)

Yes. Very good

 

TransAm is a little rough around the edges there....they will most likely try to force him into a lease and the pay there is $1.04 mile so somewhere in that ball park. A couple of drivers that a work with now used to work there and those stories were horrific. Another friend who was a prospective driver wanted to work there, and I actually called them. They wouldn't even entertain drivers looking for company positions.

 

The OP said he just needs a couple months experience. Guess he already has something in mind after that.
You're right though about TransAm.
