So even if yo have the CDL, why shouldn't they require you to sign a contract? They are putting you through the same training students without CDLs are getting.

When you buy a product or get a service without paying cash first you sign a contract for a certain length of time. Why shouldn't a company training you to do the job without you paying for it be able to do it?

I went through Schneider's training and worked a year after the contract was fulfilled. I've been making good money ever since that training. I'm very thankful to Schneider for that training.

Not saying every moment with Schneider or my local job has been a piece of cake. I've almost quit at least 50 times in my cab. But got over it before I was able to say someting stupid to a boss and end up with no job.

I'm just saying if you have no experience and want a job, you have to go through a company at some point to get started. Don't be surprised if the company wants something back for that training.

Good luck with getting started whichever way you choose to do so.

If we didn't sign the contract we wouldn't have had a job. I wasn't forced to sign it, but if I wanted the training to do the job I had to.
The people in my class who didn't make it were not cut out for it or had some issues with their apps.

Schneider wants you to succeed, they are not trying to force drivers out before they fufill their contracts.
