Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

First proper trip planning will prevent a layover as u call it. A real layover is when after u unload and sit 24 hours and u don't get a load you can either request a layover pay or have them put u in a hotel. Equipment problems is breakdown pay and a hotel if requires. Just because u didn't properly trip planned and felt the need to rush and try to to delv that is on you not the company.

I know there are a lot of jokes about the slow Schneider trucks- I see them on all of the trucker joke pages. But it is nice to work for a company that is focused on safety- the driver, the equipment, and the general public are all taken into consideration with Schneider. After working for a company that would send me messages on the qualcomm on a regular basis asking me to do illegal things, it was a relief to go to Schneider and work for a company that puts safety first. I came back to Obetz one day from my hometime, and the loaded trailer I was supposed to hook to and deliver was in need of work at the shop. After driving to Obetz from Dayton, OH and dealing with the shop all day, I was honestly too tired to leave that night and drive to Baltimore. I called Green Bay support, told them the situation, and they got my delivery time rescheduled so that I could deliver the load safely. It was great that they cared enough to do that. My old company would have told me to drive that night, anyway- regardless of the fact I was too fatigued to safely operate the vehicle. Things like that make having to drive 60mph worthwhile. They have treated me well, and I have always tried to do the job the way they want it done.

 

Anyone want to take this load off me going to SC. 2 weeks solo and I get to run straight for a hurricane. Any advice on how to handle this.

 

It's a tropical storm, it will weaken by the time it gets there, it'll be a glorified heavy rain storm with minor to moderate winds, you'll be fine.

 

I'll trade with ya, my load goes to Jacksonville tomorrow
