srt or schneider

Don't go to Schneider. At SRT, at least you could get in a nice cool trailer. Schneider is very strict and they'll give you crap equipment when first coming into the company. My truck was crap until a got my exhaust fixed, a front-end alignment, cabin-air filters changed, tires changed, cleaned and deodorized the truck, and I still have an oil pan leak. Now the truck is running good with new u-bolts and I'm due for a trade. Just my luck. Now I'll get a newer truck. Hopefully I won't run into the same problems as this truck.

 

may depend where you live who is paying you more and what is more important to you either might be good choice or bad ones........if you want a more helpful answer maybe some more details might help

 

i recommend driving reefer over dry van. i never worked for either so i can't give insight. But i found Reefer to be better end of trucking than dry

 

yep no matter how bad the economic recovery gets people will have food stamps and eat ....just saying

 

When things got bad in trucking in 08-09 i had miles. i'd do my reset and hear all kinds of sad stories from drivers feeling the pinch and i was running out of hours. In almost 15 years i always did better pulling reefers,
and the noise helps you sleep better

 

Reefer can be better in terms of being able to haul dry goods to.

Real life tho.... You'll be sitting at your fair share of grocery warehouses.

 

Yes but you're sitting at that warehouse with more weekly miles

 

How does sitting at a warehouse get you more miles?

 

And cold storage facilities.
And meat packing plants.
And produce facilities.
And etc....

Yep; quite a bit of waiting on a dock.....then a lumper.....then loading/unloading.....then count and varify.....then bills signed.....then pallet exchange.....then trailer wash-out.....then dispatch.....then you can go get your next load.


Make sure you have a C.B. that works----"Southern Refrigerated Transport trailer #53678, go ahead and back into dock 21 when that driver pulls out".....you'll hear a lot of that.
