Schneider Paid CDL Training - Ohio

Gotta start somewhere. Many join the military went to war and used the G.I. Bill to pay for CDL school. If you don't have money for CDL school Schneiders willing to pay and you give them a little back I don't see what the problem is. I would say you're blessed.

I'm not sure that I would move for that account lol. Maybe find somebody who lives within the radius and "move in" with them. I have done a couple of those loads and the people at the store unload you quickly, not much downtime. However the back roads in the area of Wintersville/Western PA aren't going to allow you to move very quickly. Seems like it's mainly evening time work. I'm not sure how good the pay is, I'll let Schweiss chime in on that.

The trucks do have CB connections.

 

Applying isn't an issue. It doesn't cost anything. And you can always turn it down. I just started 3 months ago on a regional position. I can complain about a lot. But, I'm not unhappy. Overall, it's a good start up company and has IC Choice to move on to. I agree with finding a "roommate" agreement if you can. You're too close to the limit IMO.

 

I applied to 3 different positions before accepting one. Schneider was more than happy to hire me everytime. I've been with them over 2 months now in a regional intermodal position and so far not bad.

I used to be an Operations Manager of a small manufacturing company. So that side of me does get a bit frustrated when dealing with some of the DBLs. Especially when trip planning and I inform them a day in advance there will be an issue with an appointment and it falls in deaf ears.

But overall as a place starting out I have been pretty satisfied.

 

I believe this is company wide. I have the same issues. If you can deal with this, Schneider is a cake walk elsewhere.

Side note, I've found out its less the DBLs and more the planners. Not diminishing that the DBLs still have many issues too.

 

Yeah. Definitely the planners. Who are you to mess with my carefully laid out plans?

Your appointment is at 1600 with an average of 144 minutes load time. But you'll be out of hours at 1800...you can do it!

 

Ha! My yesterday and today were crazy. I picked up a load going 520 miles 2 nights ago. 11 miles later in parked for the night. Also as a preassignment it showed 429 miles (complained about that too!!!). Live unload appt at 1500. I luckily made it. Then next preassignment is 40 miles away D&H. I have 1.5 hours on my clock left. Again, 1500 appt. 480 miles away. I get there with 50 min left. Had 2 hours on my 14 though. They say it's live load. Ugh. I drop the trailer for them to load. But they tell me I can't get back in till 6am. It'll be interesting. Every time I've told them to reschedule I get there and they said they never called. So I wait lol. Could be worse though.

 

Just fill out an app online and someone will call you to explain it and set up a phone interview if you are interested. The phone interview is no big deal, they just go over your app with you. If they are interested in having you work for them they will give you a conditional pre-hire. During the phone interview they will check your DMV record.

I just went through the initial hiring process with them (not going to their school) and was very impressed.
I ended up accepting the job offer and was sent an email detailing all pay and benefits.

One thing I'll say about them is that they never left me waiting for a call and the phone interview happened at the exact minute they said it would.
