Have been reading what's on the board. I got it.
Purpose of this post is to request recent graduates of Schneider at Charlotte, NC. let me know what you think of the course and schneider?
Ten being excellent. One being zero.
Request please let me know about quality of life at the hotel, and day to day activities?
WHat is the pass/ fail rate?
How many drop outs, and failures?
Thank you

Don't have answers to your questions, but is there any way you can get schooling on your own? Getting it through a company means your locked to them, usually for a year, and it's tough to walk if they have a hold on you.
Just asking. -
If you are going to the Charlotte Area... Try looking up Cross-Country Truck Driving School in Thomasville, NC... about 90 miles north of Charlotte.... good school... priced right... small classes ..... and a bunk house to stay in if you desire while you are there... Mark

I am also interested in Schneider, Charlotte area.

This is what I got from surfing other posts.
Class started with 24.
Graduated 10.
10 failed background check.
2 failed backing manuever.
2 just did not get it.
Quality of life. Be prepared to live with a nasty person. Keep your stuff secured. Hotel is trash. -
If you can, stay with them the first year and get the commitment out of the way, leave professionally and they won't ding your DAC report and you shouldn't have to reimburse them for your training, (unless their agreement is longer now). I would think because of their size and insurance costs they're not going to cheat you in training, but you will have to meet their standards and if you do, you should become a very good driver... -
Hey electricglide,
There is a fellow that attended the Schneider's school in Charlotte and did a journal of the whole thing. Very enjoyable reading. Google a "truckers journal", and you'll find it.
Take care
