Questions about orientation

Is it for a refresher course or just a straight-up hire?

 

Three weeks on a trainer's truck?

 

No, I've trained for another company. I'm just trying to hash out what your deal is with Schneider. Schneider will hire experienced drivers and put them right to work but since you said you had no real experience and your CDL was 2 years old I suspected that you were going in on a refresher training program. Different deals, different answers.

For the experienced drivers the standards are higher but after the initial eval they're done. You're going into a retraining program, so it's less pass/fail more see where you're at and plan what to train you on kind of thing. Yes, there will be a driving test.

 

So are you at orientation?

 

I'll be starting new driver orientation at the Dallas OC on Tuesday. Finally got my CDL about 3 weeks ago.

 

Congrats! Waiting on my road test. Seriously considering Schneider too. Keep us posted.

 

How's it going there? Is orientation held on weekends too? I am looking to start soon but not sure how it would work with the holidays coming up. I don't want to be sitting in a hotel for 3 days each week. Might wait until Jan
