Ok, so for simplicity sake, were you paid the $12 an hour for the days "in training", for all hours except the time that was deducted for whatever poor lunch they offered? If not, I would file a wage claim with the state of Texas. Schneider is known for being rather stupid when it comes to pay. Not sure if it still in there, but they used to charge folks 2 cents per mile for their per diem "option". They were charging everybody who chose to be paid whatever bs per diem 2 cents per mile for "processing".
If they are requiring you to be anywhere, doing anything at all that strips you of your liberty to do what YOU want to, when you want to, they can call it what they want, but it is paid time. With the exception of the lunch break, unless you were interrupted. if lunch was interrupted they owe you for that time, too.
I would file the wage claim and collect whatever I would be getting just to spite them. It likely won't be a big amount of money. But its a matter of principal.
EDIT** the wage claim costs you nothing through TWC except the time to fill out the form. It truly is free to you. No attorney required.
