Opinion Please-Schneider or Covenant?

Why are these your only 2 choices?

 

I never worked for either but from "word on the street" Schneider is better.

 

i prefer reefers so covenant, but i have a better opinion of Schneider for a starting company. i have not worked for either, but have met people who have.... have i confused you yet or shall i continue ? Maybe paper schissor, rock would be better than my advice on this.

Schneider does have a lot of option to go with to find your niche.... Wagon, tank, flats, dedicated and glass

 

My wife and I are going to Covenant; we start Monday. From our research, Schneider has crappy/older equipment, 4 minute kill-the-truck idle, and doesn't allow inverters in the truck.

 

My wife and I are very excited to be able to train together for the same reason. It'll be nice to get trained the same way, and avoid any possible arguments about which way is better. And, we'll be able to experience the same things. Plus, being apart for 4-6 weeks would suck, no doubt!

 

It is $450/week during training, plus an additional 2cpm if you have your hazmat. They recommend you get your hazmat if you run with Covenant, as teams with them run more miles, and who doesn't want that right? They told us that training with just one person on the truck takes about 35 days and with two people on the truck it can take approximately 40 days, give or take a few days.

 

there is no comparison, go with schneider...covenant is a terrible company, just look at past posts, thousands of complaints.

schneider is an otr carrier so they arent perfect and the pay isnt --the best--- but my impression is theyre well above average as far as otr carriers go in general.
