Default DOT physical...

Can I use my own doctor for this? SNI will pay if they send me to their doctor, but can I pay and get my own?

Yes, any doctor. Even a chiropractor can do a DOT medical exam.

To get my permit, I have to have the physical, right? I have to have the permit before I go to class. So, say I went for my physical tomorrow and got my permit tomorrow, will SNI make me take another physical?

Any time I've been hired to drive truck for someone, they've sent me to get a new phsyical at their location, no matter if my current one was 1 day old or 1 year old.

You had better talk to SNI and see if they will accept a physical from an doctor/clinic not used by the company. Many companies won't.
