Schneider's Training Program

As I continue to research possible landing spots after I complete CDL school, I'm wondering how folks feel about Schneider's 3-week training program. I've ready many reviews on this site that says it is top notch; however, is it sufficient compared to more robust training programs like Prime, Roehl, etc...or does it really depend on the skills of the student? I would hate to be let loose on the industry, with only the basics, and find myself struggling to make it. Thank you.

I don't have anything to compare it to, all I know is that I went through it and I think I've done OK. I never felt like I should have had more training. But I suppose they might be tougher on weeding people out during the first week. I guess they need to choose people that they think will be safe enough not to be a huge risk, and I think while you do need to demonstrate a certain amount of driving and backing skill, attitude has a lot to do with it as well. You need to be willing to do things their way.

Maybe it's not for everyone. I've always just wanted to jump in and try to do things myself, so short training was what i wanted, but people are different.

It worked for me. But I'm special (like Church Lady would say it). 😝

I don't know if you're just joking or if you're mocking me, but I am definitely *not* special when it comes to driving, except maybe in that euphemistic sense. I frankly don't know why I made it through, but we had a large training class that week and almost everyone passed, which i hear is unusual, so who knows. They must have had a desperate need for drivers or something.

Kurt G I was not poking fun at you, rather, myself. Schneider was a great place for me to start and I believe their 17-day orientation was great. I've been referred to as "the exception" a few times, ergo the making fun of myself.
