PeeWee Schneider

Just goes to show you that Schneider drivers have alot in common with those construction barrels:
1. They are both orange
2. They both block up the highways
3. If you pop the tops off of'em you can find a dirtbag inside!

I'm sure what happened is true, but please don't accuse others of things you cant prove. How do we really know who did what you claim? I think your story is just as important by saying that a driver threw out a pee bottle. It doesn't matter what company he drives for, it is still nasty.

The story is possibly true. I have seen drivers walk around their truck doing a pretrip and drop the trash on the driver side of the truck next to them. I have seen them walk past the trash can after.

Calling the company will not do much good. It comes down to the driver against you. Photos might have helped.

What about the trash too. Why would somebody drop their trash rather than through it in a trash can. I thought we learned a long time ago to use the trash can. I guess our country has just gotten ignorant. Was the driver one of those new 3rd world people.

I saw a driver once in Salt Lake City. Description, white, slightly over weight, wearing a cowboy hat about mid 50's get out of his truck with his coffee cup. Walk to the back of the cab and take a leak. Then picked up his coffee cup and walk the 150 foot or so into the truck stop.

Would you consider this a new third world truck driver. Incident happened in 2000. I just plain don't even look or try to keep up with them anymore. Nothing surprises me.

I dont think you should accuse him just because he was parked next to you. A lot of people are in and out of the rest areas at night, it could of been anyone. But yes that is still disgusting.

It's not just Schneider

Early this morning as I was sleeping Miss Minnie started furiously barking at something outside the window of my truck. I looked out to see what she found so distrubing, much to my disgust there stood a driver from the truck next to me peeing between the trucks. It was disgusting! The truck was a black Peterbilt, not an orange Schneider. Lets face it, no matter what the company some of these drivers are just plain disgusting! This happened at the Flying J off I-80 in La Salle, IL. about 5:30 est this morning. Yuck!!!

So what I see females get out of the car and squat too.

My point is that you gotta be some kinda savage to dump your trash, etc., all over when you gotta trash cans. Even if you don't have a can keep your trash till you run in to a can. Purhapes you would like me to say , it don't matter where there from, or what color they are, or what reliogn they are or what sex they are..........

Way to many "politically correct huggers" gotta throw in their 1 cent in. What's that all about.
I guess you believe in all that fair and balanced dung. Oh well, Ok.

So what????????

He was walking in the truck stop anyway.

As far as trash, I see them open the door and just drop it. The back of the trailer is next to the trash can. If they do a pre trip, they would walk next to it.

I don't understand the tree hugger comment or the other one. I guess you just have to make a comment for no reason.
