Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

Did they really gave you a written warning for a hard brake? Or did you have several within a month?

 

Gotta say I'm with moosc on this one, I kinda liked the "National" being a part of the logo.

 

Same here.

 

3 years one hard brake for a flying wheelbarrow. Even when that turkey Bird committed suicide in may I didn't hard brake. Thought it was funny like wtf

 

There can be so many reasons for hard braking that aren't your fault. Deer runs out in front of you. Something falls off of a truck one lane over.

 

Actually it is how you react to this situations. If a deer runs in front I'll apply pressure but not hard brake just like turkey that committed suicide. From Connecticut state patrol officer to Schneider all where shocked I a didn't hard brake and b didn't lay the rig over. Even when I couldn't to get to the peddles and slow the truck down I was still able to coast to the shoulder and park. It's how you react that cause a hard brake. Tailgating is number one cause for brake breaks. As you get older and more seasoned behind the wheel your braking habits will change. Here's one that triggers your bobtailing and come to light road is rough your applying brakes tractor looses traction causes hard brake. Kinda hard to avoid.

 

And your tractor's sensor. In my Century the hard break sensor would trip at the drop of a hat. One time it went off while in the Gary OC, the reported speed at the start of the critical event was 5 mph. Yet in my Casscaidia I've had students lay down rubber trying to stop for a light they should have gone thru and not trip the sensor.

That being said 4 of the 38 drivers on my board are responsible for 90% of the critical events. If you're driving right you shouldn't be popping critical events. Like Mickey said, over time he learned to drive better and the hard brakes ended. Life happens, but if you're popping 3 critical events in a month it's your driving, not life, that's the problem.

As for the logo change, that's why I asked what was different. At first I glance I didn't notice anythinng hand really changed. I still don't understand why we're going thru a half assed rebranding.

 

Well.....for better or worse I will be coming back to regional east. Hope I don't get a century. I liked my cascadia better........
