Starting Orientation With Schneider National
Topic 2062 | Page 3
Richard sounds like things are going well. I've been to NYC 3 times now, thank god just passing through not delivering. It would not break my heart to never go back. Just wait till you get ahold of the turnpikes in NJ and PA. Those are different than us southern boys are used to. I'm thrilled your having a great experience. It sure helps. Keep up the good work and be safe.

I am scheduled to start orientation & training with schneider on 1/27/2015 at the indianapolis oc. If everything goes good i will be on the wal-mart dedicated account in my hometown of london,ky. 
I'm still talking with recruiters, definitely thinking seriously on that dedicated account myself, No experience pulling or backing a big trailer like that, hopefully honing my skills on that is what I will get out of orientation. Still curious of how long you have to run with a trainer, and how long you have to stay in orientation
Hi, I am in bulk on my 10th day. I have 3 to go then up to 3 weeks with a trainer. call a recruiter to find out about dry box. good luck

A few people in my class got on that program, they just signed up the first day and will get a check from their v.a. benefits. Schneider will pay 80 a day. plus motel for training time.
