I am totally confused on this. I have talked to two separate recruiters at Snyder because that's where I want to go for some routes they have in the Southeast and they both have told me they do not do CDL training which I know they do is in Ohio I know 3 people that has been through it. So is this the way they do business or do you have to be sleeping with somebody to get in there

It is location and account specific. I've only seen it done for Walmart accounts and only in certain states.

What we offer is area specific. The more we need drivers in an area , the higher the sign in bonus and the more we'll do to get you the licence.

My advice would be to get your CDL on your own if at all possible. Most Schneider accounts will reimburse tution so you won't be out of pocket long but it gives you the most freedom.

That's what I'm working on now. Waiting on the state to call me back about the W.I.A program.

Okay, so a few questions about the training to start: This is listed as paid training, and I know there are some that do pay you for your time in the CDL training. Does Schneider pay you to attend their training? I've heard there's paid room and board, but I've also heard that it's not. I would imagine your time there is roughly the equivalent of the time you're at a full time job, or maybe even longer, so if they do no pay you, how is one expected to pay their bills? Don't get my wrong, free training for the CDL is all good, I'm only curious on this part.

How long does it take from applying to actually being on your own driving and getting paid by the mile? I'm interested in their dedicated route for walmart.

Okay, so as I was typing this, I received a call from CRST who's willing to take me into training. I did a partial app for them like 30 minutes ago, and she's offered me 0.29cpm during training and 0.33cpm starting out OTR. I feel like this is maybe... not very competitive? That's another question I had regarding Schneider, I actually applied with them a little more than 24 hours ago, and have not received corrospondence as of yet, but it sounds to me like they're the obvious choice to go with.

She was able to verify for me that the actual training is quite expensive, like a college course, but they will pay for that in exchange for your signing a 10 month cotract as a contract student driver, so I would imagine it is similar through Schneider

I received a follow up email from the CRST Recruiter, who's telling me if I complete the app, I can be accepted this very minute. I've told her that I'm not done researching companies and just trucking in general and doing my own due diligence just quite yet.

CRST seem a bit desperate to hire, she told me they begin classes every Monday, so they must have high turnover, but I suppose that can be said for many companies as well.

I just don't know if this is the thing for me just yet, I am a bit apprehensive about the transition of lifestyle, did you experienced drivers have the same feeling as well when first starting out?

I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but if I do, I'll add it in here.
