Just went through this program down in Phoenix. I drove 20 yrs ago, so I wasn't technically new, but after all these years it made for a good refresher. Almost everyone else was brand new to driving. The trainers did a great job bringing folks up to speed and teaching them the Schneider way. The program is demanding and not everyone makes it, but when you consider you're about to be responsible for roughly $250k of truck, trailer and load, it makes sense that the company wants to ensure you understand their expectations and can demonstrate competence.
Thanks for sharing, James. We're glad you had a great orientation experience at our Phoenix facility. Our number one goal is to make sure drivers are safe and ready to drive.
The mountain driving is probably the only thing I'm worried about, because watching this video I didn't know that using your Jake brake could put you in a spin
I got hired but im a lil nervous. I got my cdl almost 2 years ago and did most of the training with stevens. I did a lil driving in the army also.Had to come home for family issues. Would i be able to brush up on my skills?
Hi Ashley, drivers are typically given home time after orientation unless otherwise specified. Drivers will talk with their DBL (driver manager) and work out those details during orientation.
We are currently over 3/4 of the way in our transition to an all automated transmission truck fleet. So you wouldn't be able to request a manual. Learn more about our trucks and equipment at: sni.jobs/EquipmentYT
Hi there! I got my CDL a little under 3 years ago, but have not driven a single mile since then. Basically, I am still in my current occupation and haven't made the transition into the trucking business. So, my question is: What do you recommend for me if I was interested in driving for Schneider? I heard you mention a few times that you are not a "school," so should I brush up on my skills somehow, before I go through your school, or do you think that might not be necessary. Thank you!
i have four months experience but last company never got much backing experience done so its not that good.. i can hold the truck shift good and down shift backing just isnt up to par could that be helped

Don't lie they don't do anything like this as said in training they want to us to drive from very 2nd day like professional driver . they don't teach proper right turn even or left turn without showing us we have to do it our way .
He said “we are not school”... what does that even mean? Dude the company is paying you for training people and if you don’t have patience you should find another job. This gentleman with that attitude is not going to help for new drivers.
Hi there, thanks for the comment. Drivers are required to attend CDL school to obtain a CDL prior to coming to Schneider for orientation to start their new job.

Hay thanks again for your help and time Kirk 😊
Thank you for the video . This is the video that have been looking for. I got an orentation this week . It helps me a lot.
You're welcome and we're glad it's a helpful video.
Do you go back home after orientation for a couple of days?.
I think the videos you are making are a fantastic idea. I know of no other company doing anything similar, though I haven't checked everywhere.
We're glad you like them and appreciate the feedback. We have more to come!
I am considering going with schneider

Is there training near Seattle, Wa ?
I got hired but im a lil nervous. I got my cdl almost 2 years ago and did most of the training with stevens. I did a lil driving in the army also.Had to come home for family issues. Would i be able to brush up on my skills?
Are there APU's on trucks,,?
Is there training at the Shrewsbury, Ma OC?
Do you go home after orientation, before officially starting your job?
Hi Ashley, drivers are typically given home time after orientation unless otherwise specified. Drivers will talk with their DBL (driver manager) and work out those details during orientation.
Button hooks are wrong. Should jug handle now. You drive past the turn where your passenger window is aligned with the road you're wanting to go
Although most trucks are automatic, could you chose to occasionally drive a manual unit?

Those driving simulators make me very dizzy and nauseous.
This company needs to quit jerking people around. Giving yourself a worse name than before.
They are worst training to much headache not easy Schneider
