Hi Jeff,
I went through the school in Green Bay last month, and I can't really think of anything specific advice to give except, be prepared for long days, pay attention, and get all the rest you can.
They'll be putting out a lot of infomation and none of it is useless. There's not a lot of physical energy used, but you will get worn out with information overload.
Once you get in the truck with the trainer and fellow students, in my case there were 3 students per instructor / truck, watch and listen all the time. You can learn things even when you aren't behind the wheel. If they give you a choice to go to the hotel for a bit or ride along, take the ride. Again, you can learn things just by being in the cab and paying attention.
I'm on my first TAH right now, and expect to pull out sometime tomorrow so I will be on sporadically for the next couple of weeks, but I'll check here when I can and answer any more specific questions you may have whenever I find a spot to take my ten hour break where I have wifi.

Hey Dannyb or anyone,
Is Schneider taking on students to train for solo. I ask because I was told by one of their recruiters that they were only excepting students for team driving in Fontana, CA.
