1. is it true that the first couple years i will only make about 25-30k no matter what the recruiters say?
I made 45k my first yr. It all depends on how hard your willing to work, without changing your focus on safety. Meaning if your to tired even if you finished your 10hr break bite the bullet and tell them you need a cpl more hrs. 2. Schneider is only hiring experienced drivers? I have heard nothing but good things about their training. Altho I heard they closed their skid pads dont know if thats a fact. 3. who has the best school for driving? I went to Swift school in Millington, TN I thought they were great. But it all depends on you. If you ask they will work with you till you understand the answer. But if you keep quite in the back and nvr ask they will just push you thru.
