Been with this company for a while not, and they have been better to me than any company I have ever worked for. Good pay, benefits, and they do all they can to get me home on time.

Pretty good company to work for. I went with them after taking a couple months off the road (long vacation). Listened to some people here talk about them, as well, as other Schneider drivers and other forums.

After weeding through the typical whining that you hear at all trucking forums, I heard quite a few things I liked about this place, gave them a try, and have been out here now for right at two months and everything has been good.

Only complaint I would have, and it isn't much of one, is they do have some old trailers that you run across now and then.

I have been driving for Scneider National for 6 years now, and unless things drastically change, I will stay with them until I retire. No complaints about this company at all.

This is a company that my ex is considering trying to get on with, are they hard to get on with?

After a lot of internet research and word of mouth asking around, I am going to Schneider National CDL training School. The only negative I found is that they will charge me $500 to stay in a Motel whether I like it or not. I live 10 minutes away!!!!

[Grinder]

Do they own that motel? Is it owned by some schneider "VIPs" family?

That thought had crossed my mind.

If I have to give them $500 for me to sleep with my wife every night, can I turn them in for pimping her out to me? LOL

Umm Hello? That should throw up a read flag. At least they coulda lied to you and say it's was to cover fuel for training! Something. I worked for SNI, and did their training. Training was tough, not learning just doing it. it was 250 miles away, and still had my own bills to cover to live with bs pay. The only complaints I have with SNI is 62mph, everyone on the road hates you except Swifty and JB Scunt's. But the reason I left was my dispatch dude liked to lie and mislead. And I always had a tough time getting my paycheck to match what they paid me. My numbers were always higher. I tried but never got a real straight answer.

Great school I went to in PA good people. Wish I could remember my road trainer's name. He was awsome, ex military and a funny guy who told you how it was. Infact he sent 3 mates home because he knew they didn't belong driving a big truck. Kudos trainer guy,
