Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

I'm just worried they'll change their minds given the tone that was used with me. If you had been there you'd understand. It wasn't a we-are-very-mad-at-you tone, it was more of a tone that implied I was stupid, had no business being there, and that I was a little boy. I would be less worried had they just cursed me out and threatened me because I can handle that and any intentions would be clear. But to talk to me like a little boy with mental issues, that has me worried because it has deeper implications.

 

Here's the deal -

You're going to be dinged with both of them but it will possibly be consolidated into one incident.

They had you clean out the truck because no matter what you'll be out of it for at least 14 days. Most TEs available have already been assigned or will have left out by the time the RTA and RDSC can take action. Monday or Tuesday (not sure because of the holiday) the decision will be made. Own your actions, state what you've learned and how you will avoid this in the future. The big red flag for me is you started moving the truck before you were calmed down and refocused. If they offer the extra time with a TE - take it. Even if things don't work out you'll have learned a whole bunch more and be better prepared for your next company.

If Schneider does cut ties, no biggie. There are plenty of other companies that will hire you as there are no DOT reportable on your record.

Going forward remember you're a trailer driver, not a truck driver. GOAL works going forwards and backwords. Take your time, no matter what kind of shot is/has happened.

 

One thing I have noticed about some employees at this company is that they take things too personally. It's not their truck. It's not their trailer. It's not their freight. It's not coming out of their check. What's the point in getting upset at you?

It must be part of the office training.

 

They can't because they believe if it's not on their monitor it's not on site.

I've actually discussed this and was told that box planners go from what shows available at the time they look, I told them I'm standing on site looking at our trailer that box planners say isn't here. Ask to verify license and everything.....sure

 

Yeah umm @mickeyrat I'll need you to bring that trailer to me in Chesapeake Virginia and I'll trade you the 93 series that I've been dragging around for 5 days

 

Of course if he were to do that it wouldn't be hey "Boss" it'd be former employer.....lol but then again maybe just leave it down in Norfolk and it may disappear on its own.
