Schneider chat room - Closed see new thread linked in the last post

My overspeed has been over 80% since January (since we went to workflow), 40% over idle (a/c down south), 10-15% excess speed (coasting down hills). But I'm never late

Last two months I averaged around 2800-3200 miles, I usually run 3 to 3.5 weeks without taking a 34 restart.



Before workflow, all my % were really low and I cruised at 60 all the time...

 

The solos depend... 60-65, one I'm in does 62-63 on cruise and 65 on pedal. The team truck I was on did 67-68 on cruise and pedal.

Friend of mine has a solo truck that use to be team, so he cruises at 66.

 

I havent found 76 to be a problem running heavy. Its a lot flatter than 80, I think 80 is worse for hills in eastern pa. BUT it should take you closer to where you want to be in the end. Cool views too near pocono.

 

My cruise goes up to 61-62. Probably would be 63-64 if I had some decent tires.

 

Well ####, my appointment is at 2030. It's supposed to take 2 hours to unload. At 2230 I'll only have an hour left on my 14 and won't be able to make it back down to the Portland OC to go home for the night. I just got to my delivery location in hopes of getting unloaded early so I can make it. I have to sit here until a door is available. Another schneider driver pulled in behind me and his appointment is at 1730, its 1730 right now and he has to wait for a door as well. There's also a truck sitting here when I pulled in but I don't know if he is waiting for a door as well. Not gonna be too happy if I don't get unloaded in time.

5.5 hours left on my 14 and only 114 miles in so far today.

 

starting to see the results of this 6/3 schedule, working with the other two drivers on this rotation. I actually got home when they said I would!!!

down side to it is , theres three weeks in a row with only 4 days in the pay week followed by a 5 day then 1 6 day pay week.

Really looking forward to when I get the raise at 6 months. Am wondering though if thats raise is based off of hire date or SQT pass date. Anybody know?

 

I been a few years since I worked there, but unless things have changed it's your hire date.

 

Should be hire date.

 

makes sense, benefits kick in 90 days after hire, plus opt out of per diem at 90.

Sweet, only 5 weeks to my 6th.

 

Time flies... It'll be a year before you know it.
