    Not on the bulk side. They cannot limit idle time since you need to idle to run compressors and pumps.

    Well you are wrong as can be. There are no idle sensors in bulk trucks. You can idle all you want.

    A truck can always idle you just have to get a stick or something to press the clutch in a little where the sensor won't cut the truck off..i did it and never had mechanical issues

    I worked for snyder for a day and a half!
    Went for free, to their nine day school up in Wisconson. Then three days in Gary.
    The mentor was just finishing up his cancer treatment. Claimed that he never recived a phone call, from his boss that he had a student. Waited from Friday afternoon until Tuesday. Then I was sent in a rental car to detroit!
    The mentor told me that they never contacted him, they did he couldn't even remmber it. Drove half a day, then almost another day.
    He was like a drunk on a hangover, one of the things he started yelling at me for. At the top of his lungs was the tug test? He never did verify any of them. Just sort of hooked it, then drove off(it was in the dead of winter). Luckly the grease on the fifth wheel didn't freeze up. He never did re-greese the dry fifth wheel.
    .
    He showed such bad signs of altimers(dimenshia)? That when one of the tail lightson the trailers went out, he got all diorentated. Just like a dimentia patient. Started calling the mechanices? He couldn't even reason out a tail light, computer curcit board? both front and one under the rear bunk area?
    Then is was another call to the dispatcher for an EMERGENCY parts order! He was finnaly able to get a (PIG TAIL)? He was bragging that he was able to save the company forty dollars! By putting this in???? Their was probibly just a slight corrosion in the (PIG TAIL)! His mind could not even reason it out?
    At the end, after he was driving. In his own mind I could not even drive a truck? I didn't even dare say anything. When somone is like that , he might have ried to hit me with the (PIG TAIL).
    I walked out with the trainning, Snyder was so mad they would not releace any information on me. I think I got a deal. With a nice diploma from Snyder U.

    $70 a day??? lol I get that for one load from Southlake TX rack to McKinney, TX. About 38 miles. 2-3 hrs load/drop depending on traffic. And I make 4-6 loads a night. And who takes 5 days to get brakes looked at?? Where were you?? Kandahar?? Get trained and get away from those rats and make some money for you instead of just Schneider and their shareholders.

    Weren't you on another thread griping about Swift and saying how they lied and trashed your DAC and all that? Man you have bad luck. Trainer's get complaints every now and then and they usually are like this, difficult to read with horrible easily checked spelling errors. They usually make for a good laugh. I have worked for three companies in 8 years. Never been mistreated or had my DAC trashed. Maybe, just maybe the fault is your own.

    The post you quoted said 5 hours not 5 days. $70 for 5 hours sitting is a lot more than the Van drivers get.
