Why recent truck driving school graduates choose Schneider 

It goes like this you get a license I don't think it matters where you get your license as long as you don't get it from CR England (Central Refrigerated) out west, or Swift. Whether you get your license from a Truck school or go to a company and get it thru them I don't think it really matters, practice, practice, practice your backing and taking turns wide enough in city/town driving to make the turns, mirror checks. Remember your driving that Trailer too, get your shifting down, float or double clutch, it's a lot to remember in the beginning, and you will make mistakes, pay attention and hopefully nothing catastrophic will happen. 1st year of Trucking will suck you'll be lucky if you take home $500-600 a week, they're gonna ask you to Team Drive not a bad idea when you're starting out, Lots to learn, don't lease a Truck before you know the business like the back of your hand, Good Luck Rookies.

That sounds great and we look forward to hearing from you. Keep us updated! -Jim

No problem. I am always here to help. Travel safe. -Jim

No problem, Robert. Travel safe and keep in touch! -Jim

Thank you for your information.

cheers for the information jim

i had gotten a grant for the tuition and went to one school called mid city it was not a good school because none of the instructors in the class didnt know anything including pretrip inspection.they didnt hardly know anything about being under the truck

Mostly home weekly. The job descriptions on our site will list the amount of home time. All the best, -Jim

Hi Tom. We do have a few automatics at Schneider, mostly in local configurations. -Jim

No, but you would have to meet the other requirements of the driving job. Job requirements are listed within the job descriptions. Best of luck and travel safe. -Jim

i have 2 years ref and dry van experance and a good safety record never late on a load i get it done

so I haven't drove for 3 yrs and didn't have much experience, how long would I be training and orientation?

Our trainers are here to teach. You should be just fine. Apply on our site and a recruiter will be in touch. Congrats on getting the CDL and happy holidays. -Jim

@HickoryZClub Yes, but we are only hiring drivers 21 or older. Best of luck and we may see you down the road! -Jim

Yes, we are hiring recent grads in Alabama! You would look good in orange!

Great video.

hey i just wanted to ask do they still have a truck driving school and when u start driving for them how much per mile they start u out with

you have locations here in canada too??

We do have a fews auto-shifts, but mostly in local configurations. I would discuss this with your recruiter during the application process. All the best, -Jim

So I graduated CDL school, got my license, but I really don't think I got enough time in the manual truck (they had auto and manual.) I can upshift great but downshifting is hard sometimes. Will I get sent home if I'm not perfect at it in orientation?

Give our recruiters a ring!

Yes, we do! Check out our website and apply. Feel free to message me for more details. All the best, -Jim

Liam, don't get discouraged. Yes getting into the US and Canada can be difficult. However it IS possible to get a work Visa for trucking. It is an in demand industry and quite simply there are not enough drivers to fill the jobs. You would have a much easier time getting into Canada though. We could use your help over here in the good 'ol US of A too. We were all at one time or another like you.

Very Cool!

hi im from the u.k im looking to move over to the usa i have a full hgv class 1 licence, i was just wondering, do you employ overseas drivers and would i have to do the truck driving school?

I was looking into C R England's driving school to get my cdl but after some research I don't think they are the best choice for me so I started looking into other companies and Schneider seems like an excellent company to drive for.

@spacefrog555 You would have to go to a independent school first. We have reimbursement available!

When will automatic transmissions be available at Schneider?

as well when we went to go get out permits some of the answers the instructors in the class gave us and said were right turned out to be wrong .i dint think i can get another goverment grant

@spacefrog555 You would have to go to a school first. We’re offering tuition reimbursement to all truck driving school hires who owe the school or a finance company a tuition loan.

Can't wait to get on the road, Moving to canada as soon as i get my trucking experience in the UK after i get my PR status i'll be contacting schneider just going to wonder if there are any terminals in the manitoba area!!

im looking to to get into trucking, i have a bum knee so im trying to find a company that has auto shift. does schneider have auto shift?

There are some good schools still out there and we do train drivers the "Schneider Way" at orientation to prepare them safely for the road. Check out our website for those schools. We're offering $6,000 for tuition reimbursement! All the best, -Jim

I'll be changing careers after March 2013, I've picked a truck driving school. How early should I start contacting recruiter?

Hello, Im wondering can i apply for your school. Im at the moment in Europe, Croatia but im thinking to go across ocean and live in Canada.
