I'm not sure. How did it work when you were with Schneider? Did they use private schools to do the actual training or was it done at a Schneider facility? If I remember correctly I think they use private schools but pay for the training.
You are correct Brett. My fault should of clarified that. You went to a Schneider approved private school in your area. If there wasn't one around you weren't going. Than 3 weeks of orientation.

Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
LTL:
Less Than Truckload
Refers to carriers that make a lot of smaller pickups and deliveries for multiple customers as opposed to hauling one big load of freight for one customer. This type of hauling is normally done by companies with terminals scattered throughout the country where freight is sorted before being moved on to its destination.
LTL carriers include:
- FedEx Freight
- Con-way
- YRC Freight
- UPS
- Old Dominion
- Estes
- Yellow-Roadway
- ABF Freight
- R+L Carrier
DUI:
Driving Under the Influence
ABF has recently started their own Driver Development Program for those with no experience. Its 6 weeks long and is one on one training. You need to get your N T and H endorsements but is open to A permit holders with clean background and solid MVR.
MVR:
Motor Vehicle Record
An MVR is a report of your driving history, as reported from your state Department of Motor Vehicles. Information on this report may include Drivers License information, point history, violations, convictions, and license status on your driving record.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
