    On Sept 24.2010. I went to train with this great company Schneider :biggrin_25521:National. In Harrisburg,PA.. I got there with a friend of mine. We were going to do team. More miles more money.Well my friend did not pass the physicall test and was sent home. I stay hoping that that they would find me someone else. I did everything good backing up, Alley docking, turns, shifting. remind you I'm fresh out of school. Until I had to do a bump and run which is going from 6 to 4 on a turn or a curve. You have to swing out to your left and shift to 4. Well I missed it my RPM'S were too high. But this is all done at the last minute when you are committed. Well the trainer said to me that this unacceptable and that he-El- would have to talk to the director of the terminal and report me.Because I wasn't making the bump and run. So I when we back to the terminal I went to see the director and she was pretty cool about it. But the trainer said that I wasn't going to make even though I was on schedule. So i decided to quit Schneider I have not gone back and looking for a new company. I hope this is helpful for someone considering Schneider National I will try Carlisle Carriers in PA.

    They DQ'd you for missing a bump and run?

    Sorry....a bit hard to believe. Is something missing?

    Like...you couldn't or didn't recover....or something else?

    Just wondering, because that alone just isn't enough.

    Good luck to you in your search.

    Copy that....gotta take more care reading after a 600-mile day, though he was told he wouldn't make it. Surely missing a b/r in and of itself wouldn't cause a trainer or instructor to make this comment.

    But I'm still curious about some 'missing pieces'.

    Nope, There is nothing more.May be because I pissed off the trainer by asking him If he has a lot of patience. And from that day on DISASTER! BUT iI WAS ASKED TO COME BACK IF I WANTED TO.....:biggrin_2559:

    Regardless Pete 12345...I wish you good luck in your search. Find something and stick with it for a year, and of course, keep it tuned here for the latest information and non-information, in addition to innuendo and out the other, farcity, and downright lies (all in good humor, of course!).
