Day by day adventures of a new solo OTR driver

I must say. You Schneider drivers are pretty cool to one another. I never see bickering in this section like in others.

Schneider must be doing something right.

 

Good Luck Sledge Hope it works out

 

No, it isn't Schneider. Not at all. There are just quite a few guys working for them.

 

Something like 10,000 of us I believe?

 

Wow....4 hours and 73 pages later it's been a helluva ride to follow...impressive work DFO you are a patient man...sounds like its all about to be rewarded as well.

 

Reading your thread has helped me. I started driving about 4 months ago. Not for Schneider but PTL. I like them and they do treat me ok. No complaints. My average runs are over 1000. Just went solo 4 days ago. First run was 1344, now I'm on my second and it's 1144. But I got to keep the same FM and he is a good guy. Ex driver. So he has been there.

 

Well, SNI makes it easy for drivers to commiserate together and complain about THEM in Green Bay!!!!

But we are a helpful bunch.

I remember it was like my second or third load ever solo as a brand spanking new driver. Had a O/O for SNI with over 20 yrs as a company driver for them too before he went O/O , help me out at a shipper that had tight dock spaces for live loading. Complimented my effort in blind side backing, then told me how he came at it. which was something I hadnt considered. So , he taught me to really assess a situation before deciding how to procede.

 

I got cussed out by another schneider driver at a receiver in long beach, i pulled into the scale to weigh empty as he was trying to back into it ,because he went into the facility from the wrong entrance

 

Are you expecting to receive a sympathy card from schneider drivers as a formal apology?

 

yes thats why i posted that j/k
