    Probably true; Schneider and Roehl have similar programs.
    Schneider calls their program the "Set-Jet" program.

    I have never heard of them flying someone home for home time, That would be a question for Steve, the director of recruiting. Same with hiring locations.
    I know that if they do hire out of Vermont, and you ask for home time, they will get you through there, as most companies, they cannot promise you exact dates, but I, personally have never seen anyone NOT make the home time they request.
    Steve has a pretty good video on Youtube about home time, and several other FAQ's
    I know these answers are kind of vague and I apologize for that.
    But if I can answer any questions feel free to ask. I will answer to the best of my ability, or will find out with a phone call.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I live in Utah and work the dedicated fleet so I am home every other day and do a 34 once a week. Usually.

    Is Pride doing dedicated for Safeway/Albertsons? I've seen them at my local store in Eastern Wa lately with a Pride roll up door trailer.
