    Schneider national is a very cheap company when it comes to everything about the drivers! They constantly are screwing around with the trucks to "try" and save fuel. You can't idle cuz they put sensors on that shut the truck off after 7-10 minutes. Their trucks look & run like crap too. Stay away from here!

    Obviously hasn't read much about SNI, or he wouldn't have gone there. Everything he stated is well documented.

    With 11,000 trucks, they save ALOT of money by managing fuel, it's not that easy to figure out and They tell you that right in Orientation about the trucks having time and temperature limits on idling. Were you not paying attention? Did you even drive for them or just trying to complain? Their trucks wouldn't look like crap if Drivers wouldn't keep damaging them or God forbid, actually take care of them by doing pre and post trips and getting them serviced..

    It's been well documented since I started driving, at least you're not in a cabover.

    This looks like another one post hit-and-run wonder.... And I'm also not sure if I would sit there and take very seriously what anybody says with the name SpongeBob...

    "Cuz" tells me everything I need to know about the poster. Basically believes he knows better than every one else when it comes to running and maintaining a fleet. Can't be troubled to spell the word because.

    You had a queen size mattress? I'm jealous. I had a piece of foam that was about 20" wide and 1" thick in the Cabover Transtar A and B cab models I drove

    LOL! My very first memory of Schneider was in 99 and I was in Kentucky, at a pilot and here comes this Orange cabover and orange trailer. The Drivers spends about 20 minutes trying to pull straight into a spot and just cant get the angle right, despite having a huge parking area to turn around in. Finally, a Driver moves out a spot near the front and this guy drives up and backs in instead and makes it in one try. Now, we were all making fun of him by this point, on the CB. The guy gets out and He is straight from Jamaica. HUGE Tam on his head, Beads, Dreads, everything. He starts strutting his way towards the Pilot.

    Little did He know that He had forgotten to set the trailer and tractor brakes and the truck decided it was lonely and was following him to the store, a perfect 10 feet behind him and they were both moving at the same exact speed. It looked like he was taking his truck for a walk. Several People were yelling at him and finally he turned around and saw the truck about ready to run him over and he hopped in and backed it back up and set the brakes this time and when He got back out, there wasn't an ounce of swagger in his step this time lol
