Lol... I thought it was Asia.

 

Dallas hasn't changed much then since i worked there several years ago. Terrible management, I was out of W. Memphis and it was pretty good. I talked to several drivers back them that really liked Indy. Did not care much for Charlotte, Gary or Carlisle, but liked I said I left there in 2005. Things maybe different no.

 

Pretty strong, man. Hope it works out well for you. I don't take kindly to that kind of "professionalism" either, so I completely understand.

 

Did you deal with him when you hired on? I had to apply TWICE! because he called me once after my first app. and didn't reach me so he decided to "withdraw" my original app. I tried numerous times to reach him on the phone after missing his call, leaving several voicemails and emailing as well with no luck. I then called Green Bay after a week and informed them of the difficulty I was having, and they suggested I reapply, so I did. Honestly I was ready to move on but gave it a second chance. Well this time thank god when he called I was able to pick up the phone, he did a phone interview and said I was approved subject to verification. He also told me that if I have any other questions to call or email and he would be happy to answer them, yeah right! I was trying to reach him to change my orientation date. After leaving a couple more voicemails as well as emailing I've had enough.

My thoughts are if it's this difficult to get a hold of a recruiter, how difficult will it be to get a hold of my dbl or worse yet get someone from breakdown on the phone. Bottom line being ignored by a recruiter leaves me second guessing the rest of the company, right or wrong, it's just my thought process.

In 20 years of driving I've never had such a difficult time getting a hold of a recruiter. I will be calling Green Bay and echoing those same sentiments. Maybe someone will actually say something to Mr Wallace and the next person won't have the same difficulty I did.

 

I don't care what company you work for or what area you work out of.

You are gonna have different experiences depending on who you deal with. I have no problems with my DBL, I hear other drivers complain about theirs, it is a crap shoot.

 

Support shift is a crap shoot. DBL's can get their chains yanked.

I have a great one. When she's at work. But she's missed a lot lately. And it sucks to be me when she's out.

 

I'm out of Dallas but I'm dedicated for Masonite. My paychecks are consistently 1100 to 1300 gross a week. If you want real money with real home time, you're gonna have to sweat a little. But hey, with good paychecks for the weekends, it's worth it.

All I have to say is, if you don't like the Dallas OC, try working across the street at Werner. We will leave the door open on your way back.

 

Look, I'm not knocking Schneider as a whole. I am knocking the recruiter and as I said, right or wrong, the only experience I have to judge the company on at this point is my experience with the recruiter. I think it's ridiculous to have someone ignore your calls and emails and expect that person to want to work there. I'm not saying I would have a hard time getting a hold of my dbl or breakdown but at the same time it's the only thing I have to equate it with. Like I said, I have too much experience to put up with his nonsense. I've found a good small company and will be running coast to coast like I prefer.

From everything I read, it seems as though Schneider is one of the better mega carriers. It's a shame the recruiter of all people is going to be the reason Im not going to give them a shot. I do appreciate all you guys helping me out with researching the company. Seems as though they have some good people driving for them, thanks to everyone.

 

Try a different recruiter.

 

Recruiter must be independently wealthy. I know my recruiter was all over me, getting me into orientation.

Of course experience level may play a factor as well. but you have plenty if that too

I have to my experience was 180 of yours.
