My Journey To Becoming A Schneider Driver

Also, this is the point of make the cut or get cut. They grade you, and if you don't score at least 90%, they can send you with a trainer or just give you a Greyhound ticket.

Well fellas and gals, the Schneider job didn't happen for various reasons. First of all there was a lot of miscommunication about the qualifications. Originally i was told that the job was hard to feel because of the Hazmat requirement. So I went and paid the fingerprinting fee and and pass the test on the first try. Then the district manager told me that since I haven't driven in a year, because of returning to finish my degree at UW-Tacoma, the hiring manager in Portland told me that i needed to take a 40 hour refresher course, which i spent almost a $1000 dollars at truck driving school and completed. When i call Scheider , Portland office and let them know that i was ready to go, they told me that i didn't have enough experience to drive for them. i have had my CDL Class A since 2005 and drove fulltime for four straight years and drove during the summer while school was out, Did what they asked me to do and still couldn't get hired ! So good luck with your endeavors with that company and most importantly "Drive Safe, Be safe !"

 

Try again with a different recruiter. Call Green Bay if you have too.

 

I only had 6 months experience when I first got hired.

"Do what thou wilt."

 

I agree try another recruiter because that makes no sense at all. There has to be literally hundreds of drivers here that have a similar background as you.

 

i am bout to give up on sni they want medical records from the last 20 years it seams like i wish they would have just asked for what they wanted all at once
