Man oh man, what a horrible experience. So I live in backwater PA. No jobs, nothing to do. One day I meat this chick and she tells me I should become a truck driver. So I say ok, but how so I do that. She says call Schneider and they'll put you through school. Ok... So I call Schneider and tell them I need to go through school. They ask if I have a license and is it in good standing. I say no. They say I got to get a license first. So I get a license. Then it is time for school. My mom paid $200 for a bus ticket to get me out to their crappy school. They put me up in a crappy hotel. The school was 3 weeks. The first week was all classroom and it was crappy as heck. The class room instructor was drunk all the time and only had one leg. I asked him if he lost his leg in Nam and he smacked me. I almost quit then and there. The third night I woke up in the middle of the night to find that my mattress at that crappy hotel had slowly started turning into a lizard and was gnawing at my leg! I was like GOSH DANG what is going on here. The next day I told the school what had happened and they told me I had to do another drug test. Well I passed... Duh! Anyway, the food was horrible. It was free... But I wouldn't feed it to my dog.
Week one went by then it was time to move to the trucks. Man, all their trucks were in horribe shape. The fit and finish of the interior was terrible. There were no soft tough materials, interior panels were falling off and, the headlights didn't work, and one of the shifters broke off in my hand when I was backing. Ugh... It made it so hard to learn. My first day of the street my tailer broke off from the rig driving through traffic. It caused a 5 car pile up. That pissed the cops off and they kicked me out of school. Then I gotta get home. Schneider wouldn't pay for my trip home so I had to sell plasma in order to get enough to buy a bus ticket back to PA.
About a week after I got home I get a letter in the mail. It was a bill from Schneider for $48,436 for my 1.5 weeks of training. I was like WHAT???
Total scam! I got no job, no CDLs, no career... But I do owe them twice what my mom's trailer is worth!
Thanks for nothing schnier!!!
