Now this is how you do a damn information video, 100% straight to the point. Great video my young brother!

I just sat here and watch all of your videos. You are dropping major gems my guy! I am grateful I found the channel I start for Schneider, same orientation location in about a week, fresh out of self paid CDL school. Your journey is super real and I'm glad your shared it for us rookies!!!!

Thank you for this video I just got hired with Schneider and to know before hand the information is gold GOD BLESS you!!!!!!

How's it going so far?

Great informational video. I'm applying this summer. Thanks for making this video.

Schneider orientation was pretty cool. Couple helpful answers/tips: Backing test consists of a timed 45 degree, you have 15 minutes to do it and you can get out and look and pull up as many times as you want. Drug test: hair follicle, and urinalysis. Quite a few people got sent home for hair follicle. Make sure you’re absolutely clean before you come here and fail, they will have no choice but to report it to fmcsa if you fail. Hazmat test, Logging test, ELD test will all get you sent home if you fail more than 2 times. 3rd fail will get you sent home. Schneider is strict, but it’s exactly what someone fresh out of CDL School needs. It’s the most fast paced trucking company you can get on with. They’re very safety oriented, and truly want you to succeed as a trucker, because that makes them money lol. Everybody wins. Just take it day by day. Do your homework. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Remember why you applied in the first place. Don’t doubt yourself, and get to the bag.

Nice video I did a pre hire with Schnider almost done with school

Finally a clear video bruh. I thought I was going to be with a trainer in the truck living with that person for 4 weeks straight... at least that's what people said but this sounds better being at the yard then 5 days OTR. Not bad. I'm about to start in a couple weeks once I turn 21

Thanks for the video .. very informative! I'm in CDL school right now and plan to go with Schneider for my first company once I graduate, so this is really helpful. I totally agree about being stuck in a truck with a stranger for weeks on end. No thanks, man. I'd go nuts. I like people and all but several weeks in a small space like that? Nope. Not for me. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for doing this video and I'm gonna hit the sub button. Peace and Be safe!

I have a question. I have a class A CDL and have been driving truck for about 10 years. The thing is I only drove class A for a year with a teammate and I've been driving class B ever since. So my first year was class A and the past 9 years have been class B. I feel like I could drive the truck just fine, but I may struggle for a little while with backing. Will they help me work on it or if I can't get backed in are they just gonna send me packing?

I spoke to a recruiter 3 days ago. 9 month financial agreement, if I leave before 9 months are up, I'll owe $2,100. That's CHEAP compared to other company-paid training I've been looking into. What I have learned talking to all these companies, come up with plenty of important questions to ask and above all, see through the bull💩. I already know my first year will be nothing like the $60k they boast. As far as paid training, they do you right, $80/day, told me there will be 2 company paid meals a day, breakfast and lunch, all travel costs are on them, lodging on them, they will even pay for my CDL (I'm in TX, so that's $95 they are saving me). I've already gotten my DOT physical and my class A permit. I was told the only thing I would have to pay is my dinner costs during training and by the time I am out with a trainer, I'll have a paycheck to cover my meals then. Sorry so long, but hope it helps.

The orientation pay depends on your zip code. I got paid about $400 a week the 3 weeks of orientation. After I got out solo I got paid $880 my first week with about 2200 miles at .44 com. I now average about $700 a week with about 1800-2100 miles. It ain't much but if you save, it'll definitely add up.
