schneider orientation question

i did serpentine backing in wheel holding school.... hmmm
From reading some of the stuff about Pumpkin Orientation, it looks like they spend a lot of time with you in the truck before you are cut loose with a trainer. I would not worry about it starting with Schneider is prob. a good beginning
The new digital shock collars they have nowadays work so much better than those analog ones from back in my day.

 

i was just kidding about the shock collars, that's in humane... Cattle prods are better

 

SNI will give you a chance to settle in but hitting anything including cones and lines is a no no. If you show them your progressing and not hitting stuff they will work with you. My class lost 5 people the first week.

 

I felt that Schneider passed a lot of people who really should not have passed when I was at orientation. Assuming all OCs have similar orientations, I wouldn't sweat being sent home. You'd have to do something pretty amazingly stupid to get sent home.

As for serpentine backing, the school I went to in Minnesota taught it, but I didn't need it for my CDL test in Wisconsin, therefore they didn't make me do it. I practiced it anyway. Anyhow, there was no serpentine backing when I went to Schneider orientation.

I do know one guy in my class was let go for hitting a construction barrel, but I heard that he didn't even know he had. Should he had at least acknowledged that he done messed up, he would have stayed.

Good luck... even though I truly don't think you'll need it.
