SWIFT or Stevens ??

Browsville to Laredo = approx 204 miles
(nearest Swift terminal)

Brownsville to San Antonio = approx 270 miles
(nearest Raider dropyard -- another hour of driving, in both directions)

Plus: no national terminal network, much fewer dropyards, etc.....



But....you're right....it is yet another possible option for rookies.

These issues were not a problem with Schneider.

Overnight parking at dropyards was always fair game.

Plus one...for Schneider?

Schneider also has a terminal in Laredo, TX:

14405 Maquila Loop
Laredo, TX 78041

That is encouraging but find out the specific address of the authorized location and see if that works for you. You've got a lot of good information here, All The Best!

 

Promises, promises, promises.....

Make recruiting give you a specific answer on this hometime parking issue...before you accept the job/leave for their training.

Make sure the answer they give you is in fact a working solution for you (as a rookie driver -- can you get in & out of their suggested solution -- without serious problems -- or is it always too crowded? Is it paved or gravelled -- or is it a mud hole, instead?).

SWIFT dry van or flatbed, refers sit too much waiting time. dry van alot of drop n hool, the only way to go.

 

If you have to park the rig somewhere you can count on it being your problem as far as transportation home. I wont work for a company that does not allow me to take tractor trailer home.
