    I will be reporting to Schneider in Green Bay next week to begin training. During the phone interview they asked me about any accidents I might have had. Reading this forum the 1 thing I learned is be truthful as they check everything!. 7 months ago I was rear ended in my auto by a revoked driver at a stop sign. I was not cited and have a 100% clean record. he was cited. will this no fault incident affect my employment? THANKS

    You might want to call them !!!!!

    If you are involved in an accident, thru no fault of your own, your record isn't 100% !!!

    I told them directly during the interview already. I also intend to bring a copy of the report. I hope I will still have a job. I checked the DL and this wreck does not show up on it .

    Should not affect you if these are the facts. Make sure you have your OWN COPY of your mvr before leaving for orientation. I would say you should have your dac too, but you are a new driver so that should be irrelevant. Yes always be truthful with these companies, even your employment history. You might work for a company for two months before they find something in your past and "can" you. I hope you have a good time. Orientation and training is a blast! Bring a camera or even a video camera and document your experience. This will probably be one of the best experiences of your life! Good luck! Pm me if you have any questions.

    Matsukes, you should not have a problem with the non preventable accident.
    Schneider should have already pulled an MVR and DAC report on you for hiring purposes. I would take a copy of your MVR, like Chompi suggested.
    Best of Luck to You!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks! I will get the MVR and carry a copy of the accident report when I show up in Green Bay. I guess I was worried as I have been reading reports on the forum about drivers going 2-3 months then getting fired. I don't want that to happen to me! I get my drug test tomorrow they told me to make sure I show up or they will report a refusal to test on my clean DAC! ( the pressure is on!) I wouldn't want that to happen

    One more thing the Schneider Recruiter told me on the interview was I will be required to be on a per diem pay. I have read here on the forum that you SHOULD NOT sign up for the per diem. I mentioned this to the recruiter but she said it was required. WHY do they want to PUSH per diem?

    Cause its a huge tax break for them, up front, plus on the backside, it saves them alot in unemployment ins., retirement benefits, etc......
