i have no idea how much time and money was wasted chasing empties and it is still the same today -
1st - god bless you Grizzlybuck for working at Schneider for a year.
2nd - it would be worth a try to switch DBLs before you decide to leave. I regret not trying that myself. (I only lasted 3 months at SNI).
3rd - you may be interested in hauling bulk for SNI. Hauling general freight is a tough way to make a living.
4th - Schneider has nice operating centers compared to other companies. Unfortunately most of them are in high crime areas.
good luck! -
Sorry to hear your feeling/getting the SNI Jab in the ribs. I spent almost 5 hrs chasing phantom trailers in Chi Town last week, with my clock running dangerously low, one day left to work before home time, with my wife going into surgery on my first day off at home (that's how we planned the time for the procedure) but, SNI found it in their hearts to keep me from getting home that day, so sister-in-law offered to drive her to the hospital, that's why I'm looking at moving on, because this was the last straw that broke the camel's back! This company is to top heavy and full of "Ivy Leagues" finest. I, nor my family needs the stress, and I'm now seeing that I'm better than this company. There use to be a day when the driver was a respected influence with how a company did business, but now, the driver is the bottom of the barrel in the eyes of upper company management. Here's the problem though, all the large top trucking companies are all the same. That's why there is a virtually 100 percent turn over rate in the OTR trucking business, with drivers churning through the industry, from company to company, looking for the holy grail of truck driving jobs. Myself, I believe now that smaller is better in this business, so that's where I'm heading. SNI has basically ruined it, or at the very least, given me a bad taste in my mouth with driving OTR with large companies. Take it as you may with my advice, but take your experience and abilities and use them where you will be appreciated/respected and not dismissed every time you say something. Spend more time with that 16 yr old son of yours and your Bride of 35 plus years! You don't get those kinds of chances in life very often. Remember: Family, God, Job. Good luck my friend.

If any of you had to do it again or for the first time, would you choose to go with SNI or Roehl?
-
Nope. Neither one.

Thank you folks for all the replies and info sent via personal messages, I have now left Schneider and I have landed a new position driving local.
Home every night, dinner at home, with my family, starting to heal my family life. No weekends, pay is salary not mileage, wife's attitude has gotten way better, only 1 person to deal with, and he is a awesome person, he drove for 12+ years, so he knows the job. Again thanks for your input and suggestions...rickybobby, mickimause, tow614 and 2 others Thank this. -
