I know it used to be you needed to pay for the school yourself then once you get hired by Schneider they reimburse you for the school tuition but now I guess they also have an option that they pay for the school outright and you just need to commit to a 1 year contract in return. I honestly don't know more than that as for the schools they send you to. I have a phone interview scheduled for next week that's the next step and I have no idea what they're going to ask me they only told me that's when who ever I talk to will tell me more about the specifics such as which schools they deal with.

Thank you for the reply, that’s cool they give both the option of a reimbursement or paying it for you and letting you work it off. If you would be willing to give an update on your phone interview after it happens that’d be greatly appreciated, and if you find out anything more about the specifics of if they’ll only do it with certain schools, or if they’ll only pay up to a certain point. I know as far as reimbursements some companies will only reimburse up to a certain point.

I started with Schneider back when they had their own on site school. Best training ever. I ran first year for peanuts but gobs of miles. I left after 3rd year because the more I made per mile the less miles they gave me. Even so it was a great place to start.

I made a post already about Stevens transport vs. Roehl. I think I might have caught a break though. I called Schneider just for the heck of it and asked if they provide paid cdl training for someone that doesn't have a cdl license. They said yes and what they do is send me to a local school in my home state and pay for the whole tuition but in return I have to work for them for 1 year. In my opinion this is a lot better than me having to drive my own car out to Wisconsin for Roehl or even further out to Colorado for Stevens transport. I'm almost positive they're going to send me to NETTTS in Pawtucket Rhode island since I'm in Massachusetts and plus I've been to NETTTS before to talk about their school and one of the companies that goes there to try and recruit you after you finish school was Schneider. I think this is my best opportunity only because I'll only have to drive about 45 mins for school training.

It is looking good for you. You are doing research before jumping and that is great.
Schneider has a great training program no matter what anyone else says. I don't think they are a long-term company but they will get you trained well in that year you are there.

I just wanted to update everyone on this thread. I just got off the phone with Schneider and it was a waste of my time. The girl told me the only school they can send me to is in Ohio first of all and second of all I not only have to find a way out there but she said i also don't get paid while training for roughly 6 weeks. She also said I'd need money for food and other expenses. Is she joking? I can go to roehl if that's the case with only needing to find a way there but then they pay for my hotel and food and also pay me while training.

So basically any wonder why Schneider pays for your school its because you have to pay for everything else. Stevens transport is the same basically told me I don't get paid while training there either so looks like its gonna have to be Roehl. It's just unfortunate because maybe if they paid me while training I would have just bit the bullet and saved money for hotel and food but making me do all the above is just absurd in my opinion sorry.

That’s actually really sweet. I had seen somewhere that said Schneider didn’t do CDL training and then I’ve also seen on their site that they do CDL training but just couldn’t find out anymore on it. Do they do this for any CDL school in the state you live or does it have to be a partnered or sponsored school? And how does the 1 year contract work? Is it like a loan they give you that you work off or do you have to pay for the school up front and they just reimburse you?

They pay for your schooling a hotel and you pay for any other expenses along the way, CDL, food, ect...
They send you to a school they have a contract with and not always in your home state. If you leave in the first year (FOR ANY REASON) they charge you the full price of the school. Any company that makes offers more than that are going to treat you like crap and pay you crumbs.

That's funny because I'm pretty sure the girl I talked to at Schneider said I also have to pay for the hotel.

Not to mention Schneider training is only a week from what I heard. Any wonder why you hear about Schneider drivers getting into accidents and not knowing how to drive a truck lol
