Why yes...yes I do...Where does it specify which company is actually a business?

I bet the morale graph would be opposite

All righty, keep on keepin on with that thought in your head, because apparently there are NO other Schneider threads in the "favorite trucking companies" section. Yeah, Id hate to be the ONLY one on there, sure you got me. lol. If anything, its apparent you wouldn't go in there to read it because SNI is already mentioned in there. Not recently, but it seems that only My posting one will suffice for you. And once again...I've written about the company time and time again all over the place on this site...if that causes you confusion and you cant connect those thoughts together...Im supposed to apologize for your reading comprehension, or lack therof?

I mean seriously, you've whined about this very same thing time and time again. If you actually read my posts on here, you would easily see that I have mentioned every single thing you complain about me 'not writing'.

And Im pretty sure I called you out for not writing your own thread on Airgas a month or so ago. Im pretty sure you have yet to do so. So seriously, stop sitting here and fitching about my not making a thread, when you yourself make excuses as to why you don't write one.


Not really a jab if its pointing out a fact.

Quote:

But to call me or any other union member "unamerican" because our president has a different agenda is ludicrous at best.

Antisapating such response I thought I was clear to point out their Judgement was in question and not their status as being American.

But yes I will admit that I do not consider the union model to be American in it's origins.

I will also submit that you can not support a platform through your dues to garner special favors and protections without taking ownership for the whole package. If you support a platform through your dues and membership in a political organization (which Unions are). You can not come back later and say I only voted for the parts of the platform that benefit me and do not bring shame to my decision. And discard the rest of my culpability in the dastardly deeds of said platform. See Nuremberg trials as a example of culpability through association.

This is why a person needs to be cognisant on what they are voting for and understand more of the issues then what pertains to them in particular. As a veteran I can take solias in the fact that I have no culpability in stabbing my fellow veterans in the back through my political associations and contributions. Can the Union rank and file? Nope.

I know this is off topic but let me respond to his questions.

Okay, on to Airgas. I will try to be as brief as possible ziggystyles. Try to follow along.

I normally work Monday thru Friday with weekends off. 60 hours max.
Paid at $21.65 per hour. Overtime after 8 hours.
Haul tankers.
2 weeks vacation paid at 1 5/2 of yearly gross.
9 paid holidays at 8 hours per day.
5 sick days paid at 8 hours per day.
3 funeral days paid at 8 hours per day.
Family health, dental and vision for $250.00 per month.
401k retirement with a 50% company match up to 6% of my gross income.
Weekend work, Saturday time and a half. Sunday, doubletime.
Out of town pay. Company pays for motel, dinner, breafast and lunch.
2 15 min breaks per day.
Company provided uniforms.
$120.00 boot allowance per year.

I am sure there is more but I am tired and need to get ready for tomorrow. Lets see if you can do just like I did and tell the rest of us what it is like to work Schneider dedicated. Like what I wrote above. If you can't seem to follow this simple request, it only goes to prove that you are ashamed of your company. I bet you can't do it. I can't wait to read your excuse tomorrow. Good luck.

By the way, for others, I am not a union represented driver.

Really? I...I guess I didn't know that it was a requirement. That when I get a job, I need to brag about it left and right to everyone else. Or at the very least, to make a post about it. I think you really need to open your eyes a bit here. I don't bash SNI and I actually defend them at various times when people make stupid comments that I can refute fairly easily. I stand up for the company. Its not the best, but in my opinion, it is one of the better companies to work for.

You could disagree, but then again...I don't care what you think. :P

Well just for the fun of it...since nobody has called me a liar today.
I work five days as well. Only I work less hours...50.
I make less. So there. Neener Neener. However in about 3 -4 more years...Id be making pretty much right about the same as you, per hour.
I don't get paid overtime...because I get paid to get the job done. I don't work any harder after 8 hours, nor should I expect to get paid anymore.
I get a van trailer, which by the time it gets to me...has about 20 feet of freight on it. 10 of that is mine. And yeah...don't ask what I haul.
1 week vacation paid at regular salary pay. 2 weeks after 2 years.
6 paid holidays. We just have less holidays off.
3 days paid funeral leave.
Sick days - not sure...I don't get sick. Im basically in a position where...I can't call in sick. nobody to fill in for lil ol me.
20k of life insurance and vision free. Visions not totally free as you have to pay for the goodies and all, but I saved a ton in January...cheapest pair I've ever had to buy.
They offer HSA coverage, but I don't know the stats on it.
50% match on up to 4% income. 100% match on 5-6% up to their limit.
The way my freight is distributed, I get it on Saturday, so I have Sun and Monday off. Not a big deal to me. I have a sleeper just in case of bad weather, otherwise I would be hooked up with a hotel room. Breaks - I can take as many breaks as I want...as long as I deliver on time. However, my goal is to get back home asap...so I don't take breaks.
Uniforms not required. However we get gift cards for the company store during spring training so I can buy a couple shirts if I really wanted to.
Free boots no matter the cost, yearly.

Plus oodles of other benefits that are free or a slight charge.

I see where you are questioning their judgement, but I wouldn`t say you made it clear with statements like: "100% American" or "indeed true Americans".

Now come on blue...you can`t be serious...unions aside. If we`re getting technical here...We had 2 choices for Prez...and I don`t remember any mention of a platform or line item pertaining to your greivance here...so now we need a crystal ball to forecast what any candidate may or may not do to offend any individual or group on a single issue...and any group or entity that subscribed to their pre-election platform is held accountable??? My friend I think maybe you need to cut back on listening to Rush just a wee bit. Like I said b4...as a vet, I am equally outraged.

bduke and ziggy...you guys need to take it to another channel ie good or bad companies, why I love my job.

Hey im trying to keep it on topic, he keeps doing this same #### where ever I post.
