    just for S+G.

    My tips,

    1. expect the unexpected.
    2. YOUR plan for the day is just a guideline, not a set in stone rule, see tip #1
    3. if it can go wrong, it likely will
    4.I always tried to leave myself an hour drive time left before shut down early on to find parking ,etc Also it allowed for tip #1.
    TAKE YOUR TIME , YOU are the responsible party for the equipment . Also its YOUR CDL and means to a livelyhood, DO NOT take that for granted or let any one else take it for granted either.
    Tomorrow is another day to get screwed over so get used to it. Makes things easier when you expect to get the shaft, and makes for a nice surprise when you dont!

    depends. If he is like he is on here in real life, I think he was a part of it. reading some of his stuff on here , man, realsmartass .Early on it is rough, thats for sure. Dont think anyone disputes that. Freight is there, and if you prove yourself a go getter and stand up for your self professionally , then you have a good shot at getting through to better.

    I can only speak for myself...I met some good folks,but wish things would have gone better.
    You should never be just a number,or a driver to fill a random spot so dispatch can move on to the next fire.
    I have a good friend still with sni.Its not all bad,you could do worse.

    All of your exaggeration aside, your experience isn't the bar. I have never been lied to at SNI. I do know a Maverick driver that was lied to tho, so does that make Mavrick a crap company? Probably not, but by your standards it does.

    I recommended he call both. What works for you may not work for someone else.

    I don't believe 99% of the stories people post about companies in this section, when you only hear one side, you can't make an informed decision.

    Like I said, it is what you make of it. I have been here a while and have very little to complain about, and honestly, most of my complaints are more about the customers not SNI.

    I can find people in every company that complain and say they are a bad company. You have to do the research and decide which company fits you best.

    umm, maybe you being under your dispatchers desk was the problem?

    You sure your spelling Ricky Mat right?
    I know you love the Orange drink..its alright.

    If I can help any driver out with my experience with sni,I do.
    My dispatcher was great,its the idiots she answered to that were
    the trouble.I would not have made it as long there as I did,if not
    for her.She quit,and I was not far behind
    Does your comments mean I won't be getting a Christmas card this year?:sad3:
