I worked for SNI a while back for about 7 years. Thinking of returning. One of my big gripes was their "no lumper" policy. Has that changed or are they paying for lunpers now?

Thanks for the info. BTW, I've been dealing with this qualcomm issue for years.

i dont know what it was like be4 but now they have them where they beepx3 if you go overspeed(64 mph with out the cruise on), idle for 2 mintues then once every 2 mintues for 10 mintues, or if you coast over 67 mph

im just getting my last 3 post in, so ill have 20 and be able to post a image..

use to work for them in the past that beep beep beep thing is no joke
i worked for them in 01-02 that was enough for me got back in went with swift the company everyone loves lol they treat you good leave you alone and all lumpers are approved with no hassles lots of miles i had to go back to a starter company because i did not drive for 5 years good luck with sni another company to check out is cfi/comway

I drove fopr Schneider National back in 2000. It's a good company over all. I never had a problem getting lumpers approved. My biggest problem was their over speed and idle policies. When the guy on the radio in Laredo, Tx says it's 94 degrees and the truck says it 89 so you can't idle and have to sleep in the heat, there is a big problem. You can't get adequate rest when your sweating all night and wake up every 30 minutes. Or when your in sitting Salt Lake City and it's 35 degrees outside and they wont let you idle because it's not below 30 degrees, there is a problem. When the cruise control is set and you go overspeed on small hill again there is a problem. Maybe they've fixed it by now, maybe not. The answer they kept giving me was; go buy your own truck then you wont have these issues. Thats NOT how you should take care of the people who are making YOU the money. So I went on to greener pastures.

U can turn the beep off, on your qualcomm, i was told that as long as u don't have pressure on gas peddle even if it beeps and reg on QC it goes in to the same cat as exsv overspd... doesn't count against u... at least thats what an OSR told me.. never had a prob gettin a lumper aprvd, eather

As long as you call your "driver manager" BEFORE you agree to the lumper, you can get an authorization to get reimbursed, but sometimes its just best to empty the trailer yourself, as SNI takes their sweet time to get your money back. The QC has a volume button on the left, so you never have to hear that annoying beep ever again, except when you get a new message....

I've never had problems getting reembursed for lumpers. I always get the money back on the next check as long as I send the receipt in before Monday 1700.
