Do they still charge you for insurance on the tractors? Do you need hazmat?

We went with Big M. It was a huge leap of faith since we dont know much about them.

 

I pass u guys up all the time

The fuel solution system is horrid. I've lost count on the number of times I end up with 850+ miles between fuel stops.

 

Are you still driving for Big M? I guess not or you wouldnt be on the schneider board. We just let them know when we need fuel and they make our solution wherever we happen to be. Ive heard that their safety dac isnt very impressive. Thats what worries me, although we do everything we can to stay on the upside of safe and legal.

 

My DBL was like, "your ETA accuracy is 0.0%, you really need to work on that. Why aren't you more accurate?"

Me, "Um, isn't it obvious that the system is broken? How in the hell can my ETA be 0.0%?"

 

At least so far it looks like Schneider does take good care of their bulk drivers at least. No ambient sensors, no workflow. More pay. Only sacrifice is having to climb up on top of the trailer, being hot as hell in the summer because of all the safety equipment/clothing and the higher technical aspect to loading/unloading. But at least I won't freeze in the winter and burn up in the summer when inside the truck trying to get rest.

 

Eta goes by what you put in that task on pu. Once you put a date time that is how your scored. Even if you go and change eta afterwards. It has a window of 2 hours early or up to 30 mins late.

Well yeah, but obviously my ETA accuracy isn't 0.0% lol

The system obviously is flawed in how it's calculating my ETA stats. I've done the process correctly like we're told to.

 

Somebody probably my DBL who knows keeps changing my ETA LOL Two days after I set my ETA and NAT it changed LOL The last load I didn't check it or hear it update and when I showed up early thought nothing of it hit arrived and it said I was late. I hit impossible dispatch and commented "you're late not me not my ETA" this has been happening to often. Then tonight after waiting all day for a load they send me one to PU a relay and the DU is 2 miles away and I'm 5 miles from PU WTH 0 paid miles on that. I had 3hrs left on my 14 but it was 1930 already and I was parked. Then I got a message saying broker will be open load just became critical can I deliver tonight LOL I sent a message in saying no I won't chances of me getting parked again are slim to not a chance in heck.
