I am a former company driver @ Schnieder, I came off the road in 2005. I loved all the Personel at the OC's and cafeteria,and mechanics..Even on the road the company got me back on the road as soon as possible.. I reccomend Schnieder to all Drivers..

How does a truck driver drive for many years and does not crash in the winter time driving through icy mountains?

[@timothykeith1367]

@@aacc2216 Drivers listen to weather reports so that hopefully they don't attempt to drive on ice until the roads are adequately cleared. Did anyone warn drivers before the huge pile up on I-35 near Fort Worth in February 2021? Was there an advance warning to the drivers?

Maybe I've been watching too much SNL but I feel like Patty and Kara would make a good pair of characters on SNL

[@tinicoleofficial]

😂😂😂 interesting

[@Altaswaysia]

These live feeds are definitely beneficial, although, the consistent low volume issue are frustrating, especially with softer, lower voices. Please consider either using a different mic, or moving it closer.

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Alan. We're glad you enjoy them. We are looking into making the sound quality better. Thanks for the feedback.

[@kerrybinns8408]

[@marlongaines9319]

Very informative

[@schneiderjobs]

Glad to hear! Thanks for sharing, Frankie.

[@robertbridger3843]

Please improve the audio. I've noticed that all of your videos have good video but the audio is not good.

[@metropressnews499]

The volume on this video is too low. Can barely hear what is being said. I am very disapointed.

[@timothytaylor8321]

What's the training videos you'll have over there? monthly videos and incentive? what's the govern?

[@thetimahawk1]

[@mikemiller9516]

Do you hire people with Pryor DWi. And have a felony charge.

[@kerrybinns8408]

SO WHAT IS THE QUIFACATIONS TO BE A DBL OR EVEN TO GET IN THE OFFICE ENVIRONMENT ?

[@tonye1108]

I'm considering coming to Schneider. Was looking at the website and noticed you guys have a walmart dedicated in my area for new drivers ( Sturtevant, WI.) My question is 1. What would the average starting miles be for a new driver and 2. After you get your cdl and start hitting the road with a trainer, are you assigned a trainer for the account you requested? Thank you in advance

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Tony. There are a couple Dedicated positions in that area so it depends but the position we think you're referring to averages around 1,600 miles per week. You will be out with a trainer for one week during our 3-week orientation and training program. For more details, please call a recruiter at 800-447-7433.

[@tonye1108]

Thank you for your response. Sounds good

[@schneiderjobs]

You're welcome Tony.

[@jeffdefranco9596]

Is fuel mileage better with an auto

[@poconorudy3775]

Would I be able to train on tanker at the Carlisle terminal?

[@schneiderjobs]

It depends on your locations. Our main Tanker training and orientation locations are in Houston, TX and Coraopolis, PA. Please call a recrutier at 800-447-7433 for more info.

[@darrylwmurphy738]

Do you use a fuel optumizer

[@justrucking3815]

I have a question. Is anyone in GreenBay required to work for 6 hours for free, like Schneider requires its owner operators to do?

[@lawrencecamp5472]

Do tankers and boxes have radioactive loads

[@worksmartpaul]

I'm almost there!

[@schneiderjobs]

Awesome! Do you have an orientation date set?

[@worksmartpaul]

schneiderjobs not at this time, I should be finishing school training early August.

[@schneiderjobs]

Sounds good. Feel free to apply to a position now. We have many available for new CDL holders.

[@worksmartpaul]

[@shahinkia8448]

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Shahin, what do you mean exactly by visit? We do have a location in Chicago and another in Gary and St. Louis. You can see all our facility locations here: schneiderjobs.com/truck-driving-jobs/facility-locations.

[@brianbattjes4711]

i live in newaygo mi where would i go if i was to come schneider would you guys help me get my cdl

[@schneiderjobs]

It depends on the driving job. Schneider can help you get your CDL with our up to $7,000 in tuition reimbursement to trucking school. That means you would go to a trucking school, get your CDL, and once hired on with Schneider, we'd help repay your school loan. For more information and to find a school near you, please visit sni.jobs/StartDrivingYT

[@kerrybinns8408]

Does schneider pay the cpm on air mile ? If the driver drives back to o.c. to get to their car to get home they get paid for driving the truck & hook into a trailer. I know schneider will not pay the driver for bobtailing back to the o.c. or drop yard to get there car to go home for home time. So I really don't think schneider will pay extra for your personal belongings ? So where does a driver store there property at so it doesn't get rip off ? Does schneider really care ?

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Kerry. You can learn more about our Jet-Set driving jobs at sni.jobs/JetSetYT and by calling 800-447-7433. A recruiter is happy to walk you through all the details. Thanks.

If I get laid off, I'm coming to Schneider, worked for the same company for 30 years here in Tampa. How soon can you enroll for healthcare.

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Jeff. For experienced drivers, many benefit options are effective 60 days after date of hire.

[@jeffb4881]

schneiderjobs , how about new cdl holders

[@schneiderjobs]

For inexperienced drivers, many benefit options effective 90 days after date of hire.

[@phillp7777]

Why have to wait 60 or 90 days at all ?? Good companies all provide benefits as of Day 1 when hired in. No waiting. that is BS.

[@salharo8925]

Do you go to Schneider in Phoenix with your Permit already or do they train you from beginning to completion ?

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Sal, you would come to orientation already having your CDL.

[@ItsT3MP]

Hi, I just got my CDL but I don't have any experience and I would like to get it at your company, how can I do that?

[@schneiderjobs]

[@kerrybinns8408]

SO DOES SCHNEIDER STEAL WAGES FROM THEIR DRIVERS ? WHAT ABOUT THE PER DIEM ? DOES THE COMPAINY PAY THE DRIVER X AMOUNT OF $$$ A 24 HOUR PERIOD FOR MEALS ? DOES SCHNEIDER PROVIDE A BROOM TO THE DRIVER SO THE DRIVER CAN SWEEP OUT THE TRAILER FOR THE NEXT COMPANY CUSTOMER AS REQUIRED BY SCHNEIDER ? DOES THE COMPANY PAY THE DRIVER FOR THAT SERVICE OR WHAT ?

[@schneiderjobs]

Driver pay is mostly mileage based. We look at the overall compensation and to how best deliver your W2 dollars. We recommend you give a recruiter a call at 800-447-7433 to help get your questions answered. One is happy to talk with you.
