SNI experience

I am very happy to say I have only one week left with this co. I started as a brand new driver with them and had no idea what I was getting into.I have had an over all good experience with them. I went to their training school in carlise Pa. The school was tough but I learned alot. Although about 90% of the school is classroom and testing. After graduating the first part I went out on the road for two weeks with a trainer. I got lucky and had a decent trainer who had about 10 years under his belt. Its kind of hit or miss with the trainers some of them are clowns who shouldn't be driving themselves.After training I went back to Pa for final testing. Again very difficult but I passed. Then I went on to dedicated with walmart out of gordonsville. That's when things went down hill. Most of the dispatchers have terrible additudes and worse people skills.The miles I was promised weren't even close and the home time I was promised was not accurate either.I have been lucky to bring home 500 bucks a week.Not worth the amount of time spent away from the family or for putting up with Walmart and their B-S. But I have managed to do a year there and was able to find a good well paying semi local job. So Im thankful for the experience but I am more than happy to get away from SNI

 

Yeah I mean when I came into the business I wasn't planning on getting rich and I understood that I would be on the road all the time. But I did want to make a decent living and be fairly compensated for my time out. I guess hind site is 20-20 cause thinking about it now it makes sense that I didn't get paid well. It is after all Walmart. Also I forgot to mention how terrible their equipment is. The mattress in the bunk looks like the were used by the homeless then sold to sni. Had to buy my own air mattress just to feel clean. And since I've been there I don'tthink I've driven a truck that has a whole bumper on it. I just try to hide when im driving the truck I don't wanna be seen in it. But hey we all gotta start somewhere.
