Answer:
I had my CDL, but had no "Over the road training". The school was 2 weeks and was from about 6am-6pm every day.
They put us up in a nice hotel(we had to share with a room mate). They fed us 2 times a day. Breakfast and Lunch.
The training was top notch. I do not work for them anymore but still recommend them to anyone. Why pay a privte school when almost any carrier will still make you go through their training.
Schnider is the only trucking company that has a skid pad. This training is great. I think Roehl uses their lot (I think for skid pad).
As long as you work for them 1 year you own nothing at all. You quit in that year you owe the remainder of the 3400.00. There is also a 1-2 week training period on the truck with a trainer. You will do most all the driving while he/she watches you. Good Luck.

Answer:
The working for them one year for them does not bother me at all I mean I will need a job anyway and at least one year or more experience to go anywhere else.
And I have gone to PumpkinDriver.com and only go a little info there I seem to get more here with a more diversified user base and all.
Thank-you very for the information

Answer:
I started with Schneider although I no longer drive for them now. Schneider is very safety oriented. They have a lot of rules and most of them are common sense and have a valid reason for existing. The facilities at the OC/terminals include clean showers, cafeteria with hot meals during regular business hours, TV room and washers&dryers for laundry. Better facilities than most.
Schneider has a huge freight base and can keep you moving. Some companies like Swift require you to refuel a designated amount of fuel and only at their terminal which can cause you to run unpaid out-of-route miles. With Schneider, you can refuel as much and as often as you want at terminals(OC) or an authorized refueling points which are usually T/A's or Pilot. You can pick up a map at the OC with the refueling and maintenace locations listed.
My personnal experience included a lousy dispatcher/STL but in all honesty that can occur anywhere you go.
