Werner vs Schneider who is better?

Well, if he's that new and already had thai many incidents, perhaps truck driving shouldn't be in his future.

 

Werner trucks run 68 plus, Schneider trucks run 62-64mph

 

I was waiting for a comment like that from you, I think 3 years driving does not make him new, if you think it does, so be it, he is a hard working person....and sometimes #### happens....he must not have been that bad he was a trainer for a year, so apparently he was trustworthy enough......I came here to give someone help about searching for a job the way we did, not to be bashed and interrogated by you....

 

Can someone explain dac to me?

I was thinking if I decide to start a driving career that team for a mega might be better for me to start out on. Just wondering how easy it is to mess up.

 

DAC or HireRight is basically like a credit report, except it reports who you ve worked for, dates, any incidents or accidents while working for a particular company. It also tells why you left the company whether you got fired, resigned, etc

 

Please dont let my comments about DAC scare you, Bigkev gave a great explanation on it, I just found out about this report recently with my husband's situation, and in researching it found out what it was about, what I dont like about it is that any incident, whether it is you fault or not, has to be reported, even if not your fault it comes up as an incident....you can have no tickets, no fines, nothing on your CDL license but it can still show up as an incident, you can be a perfectly good driver and still have minor incidents show up on your report.....and after doing research I have found out many truckers hate the Dac report because it is almost unfair reporting and think they should have a better system for this....

 

Schneider has a pretty good owner/op program where you choose your own loads. Did that for six years. But I jumped ship to the big W recently.

 

Big W ? Who’s that

 

As a new driver I’m making close to $1200 a week with SNI I go home every other week started school with them in February and been on my own since March 2019.

 

I am sorry but if I based my trucking career based on speed I for sure be going down a horrible path. I look for reviews, driver Treatment ,pay,equipment quality. In fact even if everything was checked marked and the truck could get 75 I still wouldn't go 75 and I still wouldn't be late I could be doing 50 mph add hours as a buffer for big city driving like DFW and still arrive early. If you want to go super trucker thats fine go for it when you make your mistake another will fill the spot hopefully a actual driver.

My uncle even when he was left the military from retirement he paid cash for his own semi truck could go 80 speed he always did 70 never higher he didn't want to burn more fuel to save only a few mins. He only ever used the faster speed one type situation a dumb arse trucker he would only need have the pedal to floor a little get away from them normally a company driver, most common swift,knight,werner,schiender many more bad drivers won't reserved just for company drivers theres a lot of Operators who think because they have a few years under there belt you can't have crap happen. Well if that's the case wouldn't be seeing them along side highway on there side while I was in the truck stop for a night or two to ride out the snow storm.

If you don't stay on your toes you risk being on news labeled super trucker and possibility to have to go before jury because you didn't respect the road conditions or job in general. If this was a easy job everyone could do this well they can't people every year get shown that don't need to add to it just do your job safely.
