    Yep. Of course it and regulations say there is nothing wrong with my qc. I had started the truck to let it warm up for a bit before I took off. Didn't move the truck until I was ready to leave, had 15 minutes showing for pretrip and had been idling the entire time. Started driving and it switched all my pretrip time to the drive line. This qc has taken over an hour from me at one time since the new update because the key was in the on position but the engine wasn't running at all. It's total bs and I'm ready to run the thing over.

    Well I need to stop for a moment and give Schneider some credit.
    A driver came up to me yesterday at the Edwardsville OC, said he's been a company driver for here since 2012 and is considering the program I'm on but Schneider recruiting for choice during the past few months won't even return his calls. That he reached other departments and was told they'd get back to him when they were interested. Dunno if that's true or just another truck driver story BUT it does fall in line with other drivers posting on this forum of how it's been hard for people to get on.. they don't return calls, long waiting lists etc etc.
    Drivers posting here in orientation lately saying they are only going to hire from now on to fill in that gaps when drivers leave.
    Plus the media message that got sent out yesterday ...
    (it was sent out to all ICs. Those saying they didn't receive that well it's not a message it's a media message. On your home screen on the bottom right corner click on "media manager". Hit the "available" tab twice, that will list all media messages in the order you received them.
    First one should say "Michelle Becker Quarterly update")
    It was basically said they're going to limit leases and not going to expand anymore.
    So my point is in a sense Schneider is intending to protect this program to better serve it's current drivers VS profits by simply taking on endless amounts of drivers with not enough good freight.
    This day and age for a mega carrier to be turning away drivers especially drivers that would lease a truck from them is unheard of so I must give credit there for Schneider holding back now from hiring because freight has slowed down and we really don't need anymore drivers at this point.

    Oh another thing 71 degrees in St Louis today and 68 in Columbus and it's mid December. Forget a white Christmas it might be a green one from everything going back to growing lol.

    I call BS!... That is the most ludicrous thing I've ever seen someone say and I don't buy it for a minute and I'm pretty sure quite a few people will agree

    Dude, you always want to call BS on everything I say. You are welcome to call bs all you want but I think my response to you now is ##. Yes that is the way my qc is working now after the update. If I forget to put myself on the drive line manually it takes all my onduty time and puts it to the drive ilne. I guess you are perfect and know everything and there for if it doesn't fit your world it must be BS and a lie. Grow the F up!

    No I'm just calling you out because I know for a fact it's not going to put you on driveline because you turn your truck on...

    Go back and read it again. I would put myself onduty and start the engine and let it idle and warm up, if it's 10 mintes or 20 minutes and I just start driving without manually putting myself on the drive line it'll take the onduty time and move it to the drive line.

    It's ok, I get it, you're so closed minded you just don't understand how anyone could have a different experience then you so it must all be BS because your experince is only one anyone can have. It's so sad how some people just can't be open to new ideas that someone else might have. Best of luck to you in your closed minded world.

    And not just Schnieder qc's but other drivers from other companies have complained about the same issues as well.

    Maybe he's being honest and Schneider wants to micro manage him a bit more. You never know what they are up to! Sly things!
