Schneider National
Doesn't train you, expects you to self teach. Emotionally abusive and charges you for it. Don't sign the contract!

I come from a family of CDL's. Almost half of my family on both sides have them so I thought I would give OTR a try. Schneider accepted me and I drove three hours north into green bay. After being taught company rules for a week they threw me right behind the wheel. I was under the impression they would be teaching me how to drive first not just throwing me behind the wheel. The driver "turbo" was emotionally abusive. Constantly distracting me while insulting me.

At one point violently shook the shifter because I have a habit of tapping the shifter to make sure its not in neutral. As I previously drove stick. At one point actually said "If you kill anyone I'm not responsible." He was telling me with way too little time to make a turn to turn. Then allowed me to drive downtown green bay, in the rain, in construction after telling me he's not responsible if I kill someone. I tried to ask him to drive without trying to sound wimpy that I couldn't drive anymore.

He said "no, your going to drive." By the time I got back to the terminal I was frantic in the hotel room. I signed out at the desk. Had a nervous breakdown on the way home, and sometime after dark I stopped crying and finally started to calm down. Now all I have to show for it is $3,000 dollars on my credit report that to this day I still haven't been able to pay. There as a constant reminder and has prevented me from ever thinking of any class of CDL in the future.
