New CDL A Holder Confused And Needs Advice

Schneider veteran here....

Pass up the offer from Schneider -- & look elsewhere.

Why?

With Schneider -- your time out on a trainer's truck will be days -- not weeks.

You will need more than one week (or less) on a trainer's truck to learn things as you should.

Unless you've already been rejected by them -- be sure to also look at/check out Swift Transportation. They have a terminal right there in Houston, & hire/train brand new CDL holders:

Swift Transportation Houston, TX Terminal

With Swift -- you will be on a trainer's truck for about 3 weeks...or a bit longer.

For truly learning how to drive on a professional level -- that's about right.

The CDL job market...especially for beginners...is pretty bad right now. I expect things to get worse -- before things get better.

Swift may well be one of the few carriers that still hire rookies....who will actually take you on right now.

Best of luck...
