Schneider Oil Field Truck Driver Jobs/ The Texas shales and beyond

Welcome to the Oil field my friend!

 

Sorry to hear about all the troubles at Schneider, Ghostwriter. Just remember, as long as the price of oil is high it's a driver's market in Texas. I'd kick Schneider to the curb and get a job in a vac truck.

Pray for high oil prices!

 

All I have to say is...WOW

 

I listened in on the conference call. I know about being cut down to only 50 loads a day. I've been told that we're not laying off any more drivers than we'd already been told were being laid off, but any additional drivers that quit aren't going to be replaced by new ones. I know they're taking some of our better equipment off the account to move elsewhere since we're not gonna have much use for it.

I don't know about the management being the ones that ###### up the account. We've had Enterprise / SunCoast fighting us for this account for a while, and Blackhawk hasn't been shy about showing which company they preferred. Schneider's been delivering their loads and doing pretty much everything they've been told. But Blackhawk was bought up by another company, and it sounds like they figured they could squeeze the truckers for a better rate, and we got the short end of that stick.

I wish I could figure out which of the rumors are true and which ones are guys just pissed off about the situation. As for me, I'm not insanely worried. We lost the account, and #### happens in this industry. I'm gonna stay on for a while and see if our client manages to scramble up some more work, but if things don't shape up, then there's plenty of other people hiring around here. (I've heard Baker-Hughes and Quality Carriers, just off the top of my head.)

 

if any of them will take zero-time-in-cab DOT regulated but otherwise totally clean and knows wtf is going on please pm me or something .....

 

This is sad to see, regardless of what company it is!

No one wants to see another company fail, for whatever the reasons. Good people end up hurt in the process.

We have other opportunities around the country as well (North Dakota, West Texas etc...).

 

"Some basic requirements in STX: Drivers: MUST have 1.5 yrs CDL A driving experience..."

That's part of the problem. Some people got hauled down here to start the job just a couple months ago, then they got this suddenly sprung on them, so not everybody has the experience under their belts. (Though some of the people getting laid off are people with years on their records who came down here to get out of OTR.)

 

Bengunn ,but if Obama gets reelected the oil industry will go broke.

 

Shucks if that piss-ant get's re elected the whole dang country will go broke !

 

and they tell everyone that that is their intent and we will stand in tents when it done, genuine US tents, Made in China
