Is schneider national a good trucking company to work for and be trained if you have no experience driving?

i'm 35 yrs old and been with the company that i'm working at now for 18 yrs and this past year was terrible because i was transferred to another property, with the same company, after the one i was originally at for 17 yrs closed down, and i was wanting to make a career change to trucking but i don't have any experience, so can anyone help me out or know any good trucking companies that train or hire driver trainees. Also i do have a class A permit which expires in April. Thanks

I know a few drivers that if they had to move to another company they would go back to Schnieder. They work for a company based in Yakima. WA. this company will get them home every weekend, everyday if they wanted to. Basically they can get when every and how every they want to.
Reply:My son-in-law worked for Schneider a couple years. He seemed to like it %26amp; I didn't hear of any problems that he had. I'm not sure if he got his driver's training through them - I think he went to a truck driving school, %26amp; then went to work for them, or something like that. He's no longer truck driving. Good luck to you!
Reply:Im gonna have to say I think Schnieder is the best one to go with for training and getting some experience behind the wheel. They have a very large company and seem to have similarities to the company I drive for. JB HUNT. Ive been with them for 3 years. Good luck to you and happy holidays.
Reply:I heard they have a good reputation. They have a lot of trucks on the road, which says something. Like JB HUNT, they're non-union. They got a lot of business when the teamsters (Yellow, Consolidated, Roadway) were on strike, and some of their customers stayed with them. If they pay you while they train you, that saves you money right from the start.
