Didn't show up for swift orientation, because of schneider.

I'm currently 22 years old and I was suppose to go to orientation in Fontana ,ca today and start their training program. But after talking to my uncle and a friend of his, I've decided to pay school out of my own pocket and apply with schneider national two weeks before finishing my training. I didn't really like the fact that I had to stay 13 months with swift for me to finish paying my debt. And instead of paying $3,900 for their training. I rather pay $1,300 for dootson school of trucking and enroll on the reimbursement program with schneider after, I hope they do accept me though because swift might not give me a second chance since I didn't show up today. By what I've heard schneider has better training and that's what I like the most about it. I'll be waiting until February next year to enroll into school right after filing my taxes. That way I finish school right when I turn 23years in April (insurance companies will give me a better chance). And then apply with schneider. I just have a few questions about schneider, if any of you can answer them please. Does schneider let you take the truck home for home time ( I live 53 miles away from the Fontana terminal)? And if they don't let you take it,do you keep the same truck after you come back from your home time? I heard swift tends to give your truck away to any new driver or someone that needs it while you're away at home time so you will get a different truck almost every time you come back from home time. That's one issue I also didn't like about swift. And can you request who you want your trainer to be? My uncle's friend is a trainer at schneider and I'd like to have him as my trainer,is it possible? Or will I get any random trainer
