Don’t let the negative nancies talk down to you. I spent a couple months at Schneider after I had started off with PTL and Swift and a small reefer company. Schneider had the most consistent pay, best trailers (tractors were older but never had serious problems), best driver managers, and best home time out of all of them. Not to mention if you ever switch companies I guarantee you that you are gonna miss having those huge OC locations with the free laundry machines and parking spots. By the way, Schneider will get you your paid time off and 401k savings plans after just your first few months working for them, and the health/life insurance plans are a way better value than what other places have. I’m leaving a small company I’m currently with to go back to Schneider and this time go straight to tanker driving instead of OTR van. Stay blessed and don’t let this negativity out here affect you brother!

Thank you for making this video. I'm in trucking school in Allentown PA and will have my CDL soon. I heard really good things about Schneider and applied early to them. Your vid is a nice resource.

I worked for Schneider from aug 2018 to April 2020. I did tanker division straight out of CDL school (which they pay for ). The tanker training was excellent. The training period for me was 4 weeks 7days per week from 7am to 5pm out the Coraoplis Pa yard. Then it was 10 days out with a TE ( training engineer? As Schneider called then. It was basically a driver mentor. They really helped me with learning how to back up a trailer. It the hardest thing to learn. I didn’t really have it down until about 8 months into driving solo OTR. When I worked there the pay was cents per mile. I think I was payed .51 cents flat rate rate pay for a bunch of other things like multiple stop pay, loading and unloading detention pay after 2hrs. Ive heard the pay has changed to hourly 25 on duty driving and 15 on duty not driving which is not very good, but if your looking to get your foot in The door I guess you could do worse. The reality is almost everybody leaves before 2years of employment with Schneider for a better paying job. There is definitely micro management there. If you hit the brakes to hard, you’ll get a call within the hour about why that happened and you’ll be coached by somebody in green bay who’s never driven a truck and does hold a cdl. All that said though my employment at Schneider gave me the skills I needed to find a 6 figure chemical tanker at a small company that I plan to retire from.

Great information, keep sharing & safe travels!

Thank you very informative. I just put an application in at Schneider. I get my CDL ( fingers crossed ) in 3 weeks. Have my CLP now. BTW I liked / subscribed :)

Gotta take the good with the bad great video playboy 💪

Appreciate this bro starting with them this week !!

Agree I like them……A great company to start with no forced dispatch, safety is important. I drive the intermodal division and love it!!!!!!

Great company. Love them.

I honestly feel the same exact way… heard all the negative things. But heard the training was amazing so I said why not. & I honestly like it here! I’m JetSet. So I don’t have a truck of my own. But safe driving reflects on performance pay, so that’s a plus for me.

Thank you for the video!!!

I just graduated trucking school I applied to Schneider today! Hoping to hear back soon

Great vid. Im joining the team soon

It’s my 2nd week of being OTR with Schneider. So far it’s cool, just the tablet work & mostly HOS that confuses me a bit. Definitely gon subscribe for tips.

Appreciate the vid starting feb 19th

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV 🔴 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.,,

Good advice right there.

Currently in the bulk training for Schneider. The training has been EXCELLENT and they seem to take safety and respect seriously.

Thanks bro I have orientation in Dallas November 6

I’m transferring to this jet ski 95% non touch freight account this Sunday 08/20 , I will be working this last week for dollar General since I’m not that good for that account. I have 3 months of trucking experience

Can you take your reset we’re ever you want or do you have to go back to your home terminal and will Schneider relocate you to a different state as long as they have a terminal there I’m trying to move to Las Vegas

Do they offer local routes too so you can be home nightly? Or is it a near guarantee that you’ll be otr?

With the hair follicle test do they test for Suboxone? I had a prescription for it but i just dont want to deal with the stress of having to explain that if they do. I go to orientation on the 13th.

Thank you man

Safe travels ! Can’t wait for the pay video lol trying to see how Much they paid compared to swift let’s go over the numbers!😂

Good information ℹ️ Do Schneider have a loves fleet account? I’ll be starting solo on the regional account (Midwest) starting first week of July is my orientation.

Will they give you more time with the TE if you ask for it ? I just feel like one week isn’t enough

I have my CDL License with hazmat & Tanker endorsements.Also I finally have my twic card. I’m a new driver, but Is it possible to drive regional with them here in New Jersey after the training as a Tank driver?

Started there they are a great company in every way except for pay. They made sure I was extra good in every other area. If they paid more cpm I’d still be there.

I want to work for Schneider , only thing i dont like is i have to wait 6 months to have a rider and my wife wants to come with me on the road. but they seem like a better company than swift so we might tough it out. I want to move into tanker division after 3mo

A company can be ethical and helpful - overall, but you can still deal with difficult employees. Anecdotal stories from one person may not generally apply to the company overall

Sup, just got accepted by Schneider, starting in Nov. 13. At PA.

I just got my cdl & I’m thinking about joining Schneider . How long is training for a new driver and can you ask for my time for training ?

Does truck stop doesn’t have rest room for getting u ready for work ,does company pay for truck stops bathing and washing,New cdl trainee here

Your so right about Swift two weeks in made $40 like really next two weeks $200 otr my husband didn't like that at all

The 4 weeks of training, are they training you at their yard and you go home everyday? Or is there a driver training you while over the road?

What would you say the experience for someone that speaks some English but more Spanish .. would training be impossible?

okay i just finished my first month with schneider ( 25 out 5 off ). background got my license in 1990, walked away from industry in 2010, now back 13 yrs later. Okay so i run 37 eastern states otr solo and its pretty dam good yes pay is determind by miles run and i will tell you the per-diem is a god send. As far as the company goes its good if i have a question, or issue i call, have yet to make a check call. di a rookie mistake two weeks ago had to do a retrain class. will tell you one thing if you mess up own it, they will still mark it down but if you take owner ship of it goes a lot better. pay has been good better the years ago. the issue is and always will be planning ( dispatch ) has no idea, the computer well lets just not go there. but overall on a scale of 1-10 i'm at an 8.5 as far as overall opinion.

i am gonna be applying to schneider's cdl training program what is your opinion on me doing that i have no experience with a semi

Does the company do reimbursement loans ? For students

Your're just like me...I did alot of research before i went with Schneider. I heard alot of good and bad but from my expericnce since I've started in April alot of things I heard about the company haven't been true.

The day they put cameras in the cab is the day they lose half their employees. 😂

Hey man i just got my cdl today and i have a few questions do they have automatics and do they take new drivers with no experience and how much do they start drivers at?

Did they have any female trainers?

so all New (rookie drivers) will be team drivers?

Do the cameras record if someone cuts u off or causes the accident to protect your driving record?

hows the pay for otr tanker im looking into schneider

My experience with schneider wasn't that good. My partner and I were running teams OTR and we were lucky to hit 3k miles a week. We constantly got hit with layovers multiple times a week. Overnight keeps you on hold for 2 hours waiting to talk to someone just for them to hang up on us. I'm glad it's working out for you, becuase they treated us like crap. We were only making about $700 a week there. We bounced the second we got a better offer.

Do they let you start out as regional if new to trucking?

Does Schneider have a training program to get you your CDL?

Does Schneider give CDL classes for permit holders?

I've never called in for a daily check. I've never driven 8 hours a day everyday. No one ever bothered me. All the trucks are not brand new. No inward cameras.

What is a “rookie addition”

Hw was yr driving record before you started with them?

How long training

I am thinking about applying to Schneider when I get out of school

Is it 8 hours of straight driving or can you take a 30 min break between? 4 hours of driving 30min break 4 hours of driving

Alot of what you said was correct but not all accurate. Those cameras outside are for the side guard system to watch your blindspots. All trucks are not new. No-one has driver facing cameras.

How much you can take home ofter expenses

That's definitely micro managing

What was your minimum pay?

Bruh how u get a new truck 😂 they didn’t give me a new one! That’s some bullshit 😂😂. Edit - Been with Schneider 3 going on 4 months in a few days.. all in all 10/10 stars. I got nothing bad to say really they gave me a shot & I’ve been traveling ever since. I’m an OTR DEDICATED for Camping World! 😎 the top dogs 😂

Do they hire sap drivers

Dude! That was nasty watching you brush your teeth and spitting out the window. No wonder truckers are looked down upon. Was it really necessary to film it? Holy shit!

REPENT AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE 🔴..

Schneider does hair test? Im getting my CDLA through a non profit and theyre making me do a piss test.

THERE TRUCKS TO SLOW FOR ME 😂😂😂😂

i work for schneider i never had to do daily check in calls. i did the two weeks at wilmer and "5" days with my driver trainer. than got my truck. The pay is crap. the planners suck. Im leaving in december going back to school

Hair follicle test?

Edition slow ahh

It was good. Until they tried to get me to take a sleep apnea test, be careful with that

Runaway from Schneider as soon as you have the chance they a broke ass company 😂

Schneider is not recommended for long term. I got my cdl through them last year. They micro manage alot. I delt with discrimination. Trainers lieing on me .trainers talking shit bout the cdl students . There was a muslim student in my class and i witnessdd trainers bashing him and his religion. I dont care for islam but in a work environment employees should not be bashing a students religion. They pay crap . 900 weekly minimum. Managers suck , wont have ur back . Will throw u under the bus with no hesitation. I drove for 3 months and LEFT . Once i quit they start kissing my ass practically begging me to stay . They are terrible people at the çarlisle OC . And greenbay OC. I would recommend them for getting your cdl but once you pass your cdl test , LEAVE or drive for 3 months and then leave . Most better companies will hire you if you have just 3 months experience. I did 3 months and mvoed on to JB HUNT. GREAT MUCH BETTER COMPANY

You look like brody from the wire

@Truckingandtravels im at Schneider driver and the daily call its depending on the account you are on. I've help on the target and tractor supply accounts. And those are the only two I've had to call and check with them. Im at the chewy account driving at night. Over the road pays nothing. Moved to a dedicated it pays way more. You get a new truck if during your training you dont get any clock violations. Your 8 hours driving its depending on your DBL i had one that did that to me and had to called them and get it the fuck out of me because it reduces the miles by half. Since my record its good they said no problem do what you do the way you want. Cameras its in your contract they will not put cameras inside. Also i highly recommend get a personal dashcam because the cameras on the truck has a 30 second delay. I can say my experience has been great I am by my understanding in the top pay account they have. I make .80 cents per mile, 18 bucks extra per load and 10 bucks for on duty not driving. I usually pull off $2400 per week on average. I do recommend take the perdiem off it will increase your weekly salary by around 400 bucks more. I run east Coast and they have me going to help other accounts or offering to go to different parts of the country to work on them but i rather stay where i am. I get 4 days off every 2 weeks and i am very happy with my job and position. It all depends on your performance and honesty those 2 will get you far. If you have any questions or your teammate feel free to contact me. Greetings from another Schneider driver my friend.

*Schneider National right along with a lot of major carriers (CRST) etc has a vetting process* in which they will determine how they are going to go through the hiring process with you. If you notice, a lot of major carrier’s hire mostly immigrants. That’s by design. If you’re a Black American they will find a reason NOT to employ you OR even worse give you a violation during the drug test process. They (Schneider) will claim your urine specimen was out of range in order to force you into doing a Direct Observation test (naked). To make even more uncomfortable… they may have an lgbt guy as the examiner. Be aware
