    Harly,
    do they have a set amount of time you have to drive with the trainer? (Hours)
    i thought the new company drivers had to drive for a couple months before they let you go solo?
    sounds good for you so far, Sportz

    No, it's just 11 days, unless they think you need more training.

    Sitting at Reserve, LA OC, delivering at. Valero refinery in the morning. So since the 18 thru today, I've driven a little over 2900 mi, and had a 34 reset in there(Sat.pm-Mon.am), 1 loaded trailer pick up and drop, 1 empty pickup and drop, 1 live load/live unload and this 1 is a pickup loaded/live unload at 3 different tanks.

    thinking of going same path as you,(Tankers) this sounds like schnieder trusts you, if you can show you can handle the driving, Load/unload etc. you haven't been trained that long at all. Does your pay change up, also when you go on your own? from daily pay to cpm. ? Thanks, sportz

    Yes, you can go on Schneider's website, search for jobs in your area, talk to a recruiter, they will answer all your questions. Good luck!

    Well, day 10 with my TE, he's says that I'm ready for the SQT's, so he calls the head training guy, and this guy wants me to stay out longer sh*@! So are next load doesn't pick up until Sunday! So I guess I'll have to sit through another weekend! We pick up Sun, then goto OK to LUL, then back to Houston, so I should be back by Tuesday for SQT's.
     
    Time4Change and Doublecutter Thank this.
