You will need long sleeve shirts & pants. You need steel toe boots but if you don't have any they provide you a pair & deduct them from your check. I think they are like $60?. I can't give you any info whatsoever as far as training in PA. I went through training in Houston, TX. But yea training is 7days but the 2nd week you have Sunday off. After training you get to go home for a few days (3-5) before going out on your first load.
I just signed on for Schneider and i head out to PA Monday for orientation. You can go on youtube and find other drivers for them making videos telling you what they went through to help you get a better idea

Hey joshua, when u where at training was there any free time at the end od the day, i read schneider has a fitness area at their terminals, would u have time to get a workout in or to be social. IN Pa, is there anything to do on the weekend or is training 7 days a week, i think it is. What hotel do u stay in in Pa, i read that the Pa traing place is a very small town, just trying to paint a mental picture of what to expect. Oh and what ate some must haves when u go to training, like all pants, can i where shorts and tennis shoes, or just boots? Do i need to bring long sleeve shirts, a sleeping bag, pack light for the plane, do i jeed to bring some social clothes so when time is available or just stick to training attire. ? And when training is over do you leave from there with aload to go back to your home base?
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
