Qualifications to get hired at Schneider

Hi there. I was wondering about getting hired on with Schneider. I am due to leave for Tennessee on 6-14-14 to do orientation, training and to head out over the road from there for Western Express hauling flatbed. I would rather get hired on with Schneider as I have personally talked to a few of their drivers and they all seem happy and like their job. I am going to WE because I don't have recent verifiable experience though I have had my A cdl for 17 years. I did not know what I was getting into. WE had an ad on CL stating they had a refresher coarse, so I filled out the app and got excepted. I am new to this forum and wish I would have joined this forum before doing the application for WE. I have not read or heard one good thing about the company. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

 

Alaska, that's exactly what I did. Now it's just waiting for a recruiter to call me. Have not signed anything yet. I am suppose to get my orientation packet via email tomorrow. I live in Colorado and Schneider can run me regionally where as WE is going to run me in all lower 48. The horror stories of being home 1 time a month for 2 days, if I'm lucky are a bit much. I'll do it if I have to but would rather run regionally and be home at a more predictable time if that makes sense. The health insurance at WE sounds shady along with there management. Schneider has a good reputation and the 7 drivers I have talked to were happy to fairly happy. They all had good to say where as everyone on here has yet to say anything positive about WE. Thank you
