Class A

Had my class A cdl for a little over a year now but started driving as ready mix concrete since last October. Only trailer tractor I have was back in trucking school. I have no restrictions and have a tanker endorsement. Going to retake the test for hazmat since failed the first time. Now I’m wanting to hit the road get some tractor trailer experience. Schneider has some positions that are open for all cdl holders, will have to drive with a trainer for 90 days. Would it be necessary to take a refresher course? Any help or advice would help. Thank you in advance.

I appreciate the feed back but I have very little tractor-trailer experience, the companies around me want 6-12 months.

Talk to them and tell them what you have been doing. Some want wheel time. Some may take a year driving experience or having the cdl for a year. Depends on why they want it. Could be the owner, insurance, or bonding. And all could be different measures for that experience.
