Schneider Drivers/Roehl Drivers .... or any trucker willing to give a helping hand!

I'd go with the APU's probably.

Have you looked at other companies? You're in a good location with I-10 running coast-coast.
Apply with these if they look good and ignore any "experience required" .

Navajo Express - APU's and inverters

 

Or go Schneider bulk and idle all you need.

 

Just curious Chinatown what rig were you actually born in? Not conceived in but actually born in?

 

Good choice right there.
Do you have tanker/hazmat endorsements?

Here's a good thread on Teamsters Union job.

ABF Freight just called me to set up for an interview today

 

I'd agree with Chinatown and look at some other options.

SNI's idle policy is no idling between 20 and 70 degrees. If it's anywhere close to 70 the truck will idle. I have never and will never sit and swelter for Chris Lofgrin's bottom line. I ran the truck last night, I'm running it right now, and if I don't make it home tomorrow, I'll run it then. The only downside to the ambient temperature sensors is electrical power during winter.

As for Roehl - in the last two years they've hired a LOT of former Schneider executives. I know one SNI medium wig that joked Roehl would be a perfect company for SNI to buy because their office staff already knows SNI policy and procedure.

 

Idling in the summer is not an issue with schneider. The only time you might get hot is if the a/c goes out, and you just get it fixed. The problem is more in the winter when you have a hard time idling when it's cold. Batteries don't hold a charge as well in cold weather so if you need to use any electronics other than the bunk heater your batteries probably will run out. But in the summer idling isn't an issue at all.

As far a parking goes you'd probably be based out of reserve, la. We also used to use the tank wash on airline hwy in Baton Rouge but not sure if van drivers can still park there.

One thing though, that would be a good area to run bulk for schneider if you wanted to go that route. Reserve is one of the bigger bulk terminals.

 

I don't think so. I ran bulk for a couple of months so I'm not too familiar with it. But it really depends on the product. Loose product like water surges a lot. Really thick product you can't even tell you are hauling a liquid sometimes.

ethos would be the go to guy with questions though since he was a trainer at schneider for a while.
