Schneider training March 15th, Carlisle PA

any updates jason?

im going out to ny tomorrow to talk to a recruiter at one of their career fairs. hope all is going well, keep us updated when you get the chance.

 

I was curious if you knew how often they run their CDL training programs? I plan on going with them and wanted to time it right sometime in May with the company. Didn't know if you knew or could find out somehow? Best of luck to you with the program! Keep us posted on how it goes there.

 

went to the career fair this morning found out alot of stuff alot i already knew from reading their recruitment site and alot i didnt know, the recruiter was supprisingly straight forward with me. turns out that if you live in ct you can't do sni training because ct dmv is a pain about getting you a quick test date. another thing that kinda made me upset was he told me that sni nolonger does tuition reimbursement for private trucking schools, he said that hopefully theyll be bringing it back soon as theyve seen a drop in new recruits. so i guess im going to be going back to NETTTS and getting my class a. my first choice will probly still be sni just because i like what ive read and heard.

anybody out there working for sni? what kind of hometime do you average? the recruiter told me for the van national fleet id be looking at 2-3 weeks out 2-3 days home, is that about average? that was one question i was expecting to get the run around on but he answered it pretty straight forwardly.

jasontrucker whats going on hope everythings turning out alright.

 

from what i heard today im pretty sure they run the full cdl course every two weeks, and if you already have your cdl, a class starts every week.

 

been out on the road with a broak laptop jason to answer your question bout laptops ive seen people who rig them up just be careful when you use them if you have one and get in a wreck it can be called driver negligence even if you were paying atteneion, my suggestion and what i have is a simple garmin gps (going to upgrade when the price of the cmv versions come down) and then use google maps at night.

 

Geeze i don't know how long itll take a Nettts to get my class a probly 4 weeks if i can go days, weekends i think its like 16 weekends. Man id hate to make this investment only to find out their not hiring when i get my licencse.

 

sni will never go to an all experienced driver fleet there to big they are going to try to keep as many experienced drivers instead of being a training mill thats why there new pay package is one of the best now if only they paid practicle instead of hhg but im sure thats going to come in the next year when people leave for crete and others who do pay practicle miles

 

Agreed. Schneider's fleet is way to big. I don't think they'd be able to hire enough experienced drivers to satisfy their demands!
