My orientation with Schneider

Not sure I'm a contractor not company driver.( Schneider)

 

Yes really bad. But it won't stop me from going giving it my best shot.

 

Got thanks for the encouraging words.

 

When I first got Schnierderized if I remember correctly it was $60 per day for orientation, TU-SA and then SU-SA *2, but first check held back a week, so bring some kind of money for evening meals and time out with TE, I had a few students that I fed PB&J until their final meal with me cause they showed up to the table with nothing but a spoon. Yes there's hidden meanings behind that.

 

It's five days or seven days week. Do you get weekends off. How long is the days. After orientation do you go home before you get a truck.

 

You will show up at the hotel probably on a Sunday your first Monday is a gimme day unpaid because you're not officially an employee until after the Wiz Quiz and all the paperwork is completed after that Tuesday through Friday and possibly Saturday it's all Hands-On classroom slow maneuvers and some road driving after that you will be put in contact with the training engineer and you'll be out for a week learning the Schneider way to do things after that you'll go back to the operating Center for 4 to 5 days to show how well your TE lobotomized you, at some point you will meet up with your new hire DBL and be assigned a truck which you may or may not have to travel to pick up don't plan on seeing home for a month or so but you might get lucky.

Training pay goes

W R F S
S M T W R F S (paid for week 1 on Fri)
S M T W R (F) (paid for week 2 on Fri)

You are paid for the days that you do work. So if you get released for skill issues you'll typically get paid for that day still.
