Orientation and Safety

Gearing up to hit the road safely, with confidence.

Getting familiar with Schneider is the first step in your journey as a new member of our team. Experienced drivers invited to join the ranks in our Van divisions are introduced through a brief, 4-day orientation program. You'll get paid $150 for attending and completing the session. Tank drivers are scheduled to complete a 14-day orientation; however, pay and length of orientation may vary based on driver experience.

General Orientation Process

Pre-Work Screen
A pre-work screen is used to assess whether you can safely perform the essential functions of truck driving. Upon passing the pre-work screen, you will proceed with your orientation.

Additional Classroom Training
Classroom training includes an introduction to Schneider’s mobile communications system, a trip planning and logging refresher and most importantly, a review of safety tips designed to keep you and those around you from getting hurt on the job.

Tractor Simulators
An integral component of our ongoing focus on safety includes the use of advanced technology through state-of-the-art tractor simulators.  During your orientation, you will have the opportunity to enter a realistic, virtual environment, allowing you to safely practice maneuvering through potentially hazardous situations without risk.

Road Test
Our road test includes a pre-trip inspection, coupling/uncoupling procedure and a 15-20 mile road course.

DOT Drug Screen
Conducted onsite or prior to orientation
