I trained with them and worked well past the year they required. I was making good money and happy to stay.
My son needed me home more so after close to 2 years with Schneider I went local.
But to this day I thank Schneider for my training. They taught me how to be safe and I'm still making my living off their initial training.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I agree with you on the training being great but I do feel like they are
asking for a bit much.I was sent 2 different contracts and one says $400
and 12 months commitment while the new one says $5000 and 18
month commitment. That is really the only reason I am having
doubts.While you stayed and was happy there you also know you are
considered a minority. All the research I have done leans towards people
leaving due to low pay. I love driving and getting paid for it will be great
but their top pay in 7-8 years is more like the avg. pay for other
companies after a couple years. Also, I was wanting to be a OTR Bulk
driver and possibly team up with someone but the recruiter basically
already pre-hired me to a dedicated run with low miles(2100 or so).And
at .27cpm that is only $567 before tax.I am really considering to go with
someone else if that is all they can give me.Rookie or not,anybody
having to be otr for 7-8 days with only 1 day at home deserves more
than that.Not to mention they want you to pay them back $20 a week for
training.No offense to any SNI drivers or grads but, if after tomorrow the
recruiter can not give me something better I will be looking elsewhere.I'd
rather accept the short end of the stick for 8 or 12 months over 18
months anytime.
