Looks like Schneider is the one

And I totally agree with your statement. Had I not had the prior driving experiance AND wasn't teaming. I would think twice about going into this with only my CDL course and 3 weeks of training. With the addition of a team partner and my driving experiance, I feel confident (not arrogant) that I will do fine. But yes, having 6-8 weeks with a trainer is nothing to dismiss when thinking of becoming a OTR driver.

 

Clearly you failed with Schneider for some reason because what you said is not true.

Fact: I have a 12 volt cooler that runs continuously, no issue
Fact: Newer trucks are equiped with a bunk heater, no idle needed

Most people who find negatives in a company are the same people that were fired because they not the company did something inappropriate. You have your opinion, here is mine. From all that I have seen and experianced so far with Schneider, they are safe, professional and do look out for thier drivers. Sure, the bottom line is the almighty dollar. If you go into this with that understanding, then you will have no problems with any company you work for.

Yes, I am a team driver, so yes 90% of the time the truck is rolling, yes we have the ambiant sensor, but again, the truck is equiped with a heater that runs without the truck needing to idle. As for AC, we have not run into temperatures that we need it. It was hot in Larado TX, but we were not there long enough to worry about it. We did need to run the heater in Warren Mich when it was 10 degrees, worked great, kept the cab a cozy 65 degrees without needing to idle. BTW, cooler was plugged in also and we had no issues.
Logged over 5000 miles as a rookie team in our first week, and after our review, expect to get to 6000 miles a week starting next week. As I can't speak for those that run solo other than those that I have spoken to seem quite happy with Schneider. I guess its what you make of it.
