    Not to stick up for those in the office..but it sure looks like the ones still there are being overloaded therfore causing more errors to committed...if lofgren and co don't fix this soon, they're going to have even bigger problems with no customers left...

    Two years ago, there is no way we would have went this long with the load board broken. Two years ago, I didn't run into nearly the amount of problems I am running into lately. You would think that with less loads, problems would be at a minimum.

    But hey, the ads are back on the radio, Schneider is once again accepting new Owner Operators, with or without a truck! Either freight is picking up, or they are scrambling to get people into the stockpile of trucks I keep hearing people talk about. Probably the latter.....

    All i know is this is bullcrap, freight market is terrible and customers will pick other carriers to haul their freight if Schneider cant even enter in appointment times correctly.
    Now is not the time to be providing bad service.
    I might earn $900 in one week for detention. Parked overnight at a customer lot again because Schneider screwed up.
    3 times in one week thats happened.
    Unbelievable... no wait I'm at a mega carrier so it is believable but still lol.

    No they aren't. Just touched base with my recruiter a couple days ago. Said they have not been given the green light to take other trucks yet.

    The radio ads say different. They are specifically announcing "once again" accepting owner operators. Heard the first radio ad today.
