    I have no clue on SNI's parking policy, but it sure couldn't hurt if you could take pix of your place and bring them with you for the interview (or email them,) showing you have ample and safe residential parking. I did that with almost all the few places I've worked for, and they were fine with it (except FedEx/LineHaul.)

    Sorry for reviving a old forum post but I want to share something here.
    So I went to Schneider then I failed their pre work by 2lbs of push then I called of Western express because they left me a voice mail then take a bus down to there and on second day of orientation I learn that they was going to stick me with a trainer for a week so I get mad and leave orientation then someone from western calls me and convinced me to go back so I do then I get told I'm not getting hired and get kicked out of the hotel room without even a way back home currently I have payed $212 for 2 days at a hotel because next bus to Maine is on Saturday.
    After all dealing with all of that I'm avoiding everything that's not local.

    Sorry to hear about your tough luck. But, mega's have a bad reputation for a reason, they could give a rats a__ about you. All they want is for you to fill the seat and drive and they have 900 other people lined up to take your seat when you quit.
    The companies I mentioned in post #54 all hire local and regional drivers that will get you home every night or every other. They may not be perfect, but they're still better than a mega and you'll be able to get some experience.
     
    KillingTime and aramil248 Thank this.

    Why did Western not hire you?
