Default Washed out from Schneider...but never gave up

I went to Schneider originally in July 06 for 2 weeks and washed out due to poor shifting and you name it.....

Determined not to give up I went to truck driving school in Sept.06 and Schneider informed me I could come back for free with a CDL ( also would not have to pay back $3,500)

So I returned to Green Bay for a second time Dec 06 and it all worked out for me

Now i have been driving for about 4 weeks on Walmart account, it is ok except for slip seating every 6 days......if the truck is not completely cleaned out (including spraying dash with Armour All and wiping down all windows) you will be charged $40.00 which is given to the next driver!!!

Overall Schneider is not that bad to work for so far.......will keep you posted.

^^ That sounds like a good idea. You'll never have to move into a pig-pen truck.

And congratulations on your success and your new career.

If they assign you the truck permanently, you'll need the $40.00 to buy the cleaning products to clean it.
