I think Schneider is a great company. There’s a lot of opportunities. My advice is be safe, always be safe. SNI has a general goal for drivers to achieve at least 7.5 hours driving a day, for most accounts. So it is absolutely not necessary to run your clock out every day. It’s also totally fine to work more than 7 hours. Ask lots of questions and take notes. Be safe, very safe. Incidents can hinder your growth at this company. What’s your job going to be?
Congratulations and good luck

Schneider never dispatched me to NYC.
I did spend a good bit of time across the river....in Jersey, however.
I did Long Island a few times as well, also.
Ahhhhhhh....good times (NOOOTTT!!)....

If memory serves correctly -- Schneider will not force dispatch you to NYC, as a brand new driver.
If you do go later....after you get some experience -- just trip plan the NYC part VER-RY carefully. Use the Trucker Rand-McNally atlas (along with feedback from others...like @gentleroger) to look for truck-restricted routes, & low clearance issues on the way to your final destination.
Basically -- anything in that area with the word "Parkway" in its name is a "no go" for big rigs.

My first mistake I made was over packing when going out with my trainer. Only take what you will need, keep it small. You’ll need to sleep so make sure you’re comfortable for that. You’re almost certainly going to stop at a Walmart with your trainer, especially if you ask. If you don’t then rest assured you’ll be able to get home soon after you’re out of the trainers truck. You’ll be fine, just keep your head on a swivel and keep a positive attitude.austinmike, GoneButNotForgotten and Cherokee65 Thank this.
