Schneiders new safety policy is causing me trouble

Use your better judgment. If it doesn't make sense to be in the middle lane, common sense has to take over at some point. What are they gonna do, fire you for going up a hill in the granny lane? Lol.

 

Sometimes in a major city when it's reduced speed, it does make sense. Going across 70 in Ohio between Columbus and Dayton, riding in the middle lane in a governed truck is just ignorant.

 

Forward facing camera may tattletale on you. That's a conundrum.
You might explain you were in the right lane vs the middle lane because you were holding up traffic and lots of enraged truckers threatening you.

 

I'm wondering what cops might think, and do, about that policy.

Slowing to 30 or 20 on a hill in the center lane could be considered a safety issue in the exact opposite way that SNI sees it.
Slower vehicles keep right comes to mind, and SNI are not the fastest trucks out there even on the flat.

 

One of the worst policies possibly concocted lol. If a fleet can trust their drivers to run the right lane through I-24 in TN, I-75 in TN, I-84 in OR, I-45 in TX, or any of the other congested two lanes, then they can trust their fleet to run the right lane in the boonies of Kentucky, Ohio, climbing lanes, etc.

I can’t imagine forcing their drivers to deal with road rage all day is a positive.

 

There is no reason for a Schneider truck to ever be in the middle lane of any highway in America unless the right lane is completely blocked..... I would honk at you too if you are climbing a hill the middle lane, that is pure ignorance... or rolling thru these cities in Texas, seems I pass every Tom dick and Harry in the right lane because there's nothing but middle lane cloggers everywhere and it's no trucks left lane... yet not any one of those dip tards are even doing the speed limit. Just clogging #### up.... we got em in Phoenix now too on the 202 bypass route, #### heads driving in the middle lane for no reason there aint hardly any traffic out there either and noone coming down the on ramps during the day... just drivers being ignorant.. i had to hit the carpool lane the other day because we got a 3 wide race at 60mph and nobody can get by !
For ####s sake keep ur slow trucks in the right lane where they belong, clogging up the middle lanes does nothing but irritate everyone around you and its going to cause a wreck... also what are u gonna do in cali? It ain't legal to run the middle lane out there

 

The Texan rule of thumb is to do 75 through the 55mph work zone, and then do 52 in the middle lane on I-635. It’s bizarre and I haven’t cracked the code, but that’s my observation

 

Oh my God, it is the absolute worst man ! There is very few places anymore that give me road rage. Texas is at the top of the list... I'd rather go run LA everyday of the week

 

It never makes any sense to hang out in passing lanes. You'll end up in situations with no out. Always stay to the right especially in a slow truck and you've always got the shoulder for an out. You've got a brake pedal or jake for cars that don't know how to merge. Use it.
