    Free Training isn't Free

    Any of you folks out there thinking you will get free training from Schneider National - read the fine print very carefully.  I know someone who went for the ''free'' training only to be told they weren't keeping up - just one day after the option to leave with no obligations for payment.  So, at that point he was told he had to pay for all the training - unless he got his CDL from another source.  He went to a school and paid for his own training and went back to Schneider with a CDL he received from a school.  They let him work on his training for 3 days and made it really hard on him, screaming at him in the cab.  He got so nervous he went the wrong way and in trying to turn around, scraped a sign or something so minor there was no damage.  They fired him that afternoon citing a preventable accident.  Guess what?  HE STILL HAS TO PAY FOR HIS TRAINING!!!!!  THEY CALL EVERY MONTH LOOKING FOR HIS MONEY!!!!  So, he has no driving job and they still want their cash.  It's a scam folks.  Be careful. They want your money more than giving you a job so they can keep their training going.  It seems to be profitable for them lately. They end up getting rid of about half of the students they take in every week....with each one being forced to pay them back....not a bad take.
