Starting with Schneider bulk

From what I understand, bulk and van are two different beasts. More money in bulk, more active, and more responsibility outside of being just a regular driver. It's nothing too hard, I believe you could do it. You would be staying at the courtyard by Marriott. Good hotel, continental breakfast every mornng. Subway for lunch, order the footlong and eat half for Lunch and half for dinner. Best way to save money by not spending money, they'll provide transportation too and from work. Bring some steel toes that are about 6 inches or longer from sole to end of boot, less you want 35 dollars deducted. In all honesty, do bulk. I wouldn't consider dry van at all, but that's just me. Also, I was jobless for near 6 months trying to get my class B cdl, and eventually when that failed I tried for my class A cdl, and here I am. This Friday is my first check/ direct deposit in a long time. You'll be okay. Handle your business and you'll be able to take care and provide for your loved ones. Sacrifice a little so you can get settled in. Told myself for the longest i wasn't gonna walk away/quit truck driving and that I wasn't gonna walk away and quit Schneider when I failed my physical. Glad I am at where I'm at today, I look forward to the future.

 

Well it's day 11 today. I don't think I wrote about day 10. Day 10 was a drive around the city streets for a good 1 hour. It was cool, nothing too crazy but definetly some interesting streets that a 4 wheeler could handle without second thought. Lol we did straight backing and 45 degree backing because we had extra time. That was pretty much it. Met the backing guru today, older guy, but man does he make life easy for backing lol. Thank the higher power he's around

 

Day 11. Today was a good day, we started off with a coupling and pretrip, then drove 30minutes each. Hardest route so far, but still doable. After wards we uncoupled and did a post trip. Rest of the day was spent doing 45 degree angle backing. It was okay, I sure as heck ain't a natural backer lmao

 

Today was day 12. Today was a great day. One of the best. We had a little graduation ceremony. Of my class of 8, 7 of us made it. One was given an automatic midway, one more was given an automatic afterwards. The rest of us got good ole 10 speeds. Which is great. The day started out with a test. I went did my backing of the tractor to couple and pretrip. Headed out and took my test. Nervous but it was my best day driving thus far, only got docked 4 points. Felt great and drove smooth man, felt proud of myself to have learned. Thank you Schneider team. I recieved my duffle bag with a chemical suit and a fire proof suit. Feels good man, feels good.

 

Thanks man, will do!
