    Just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with this company? My wife & I are looking to become team drivers & I've recently come across this company, but can't find a lot of information about them. Which can be a good thing or bad, so let me know..... thanks

    I've actually researched a lot and I loved Schneider's Program, ESPECIALLY once going into their O/O choice program of being able to pick your own freight. However, obviously we need to have company driver experience before going that route, but we also have a pet that will be with us and from what I've found they DO NOT allow pets in company trucks. Which sucks because they were my 1st choice.

    And I liked Watkins Shepard too, but they don't allow pets until AFTER your 90 day probationary period

    I used to work for them (left in October, 2013). As a team driver, I'd look into their relay options, depending on where you live. When I was there, they had a St. Louis to Kingman, AZ team run that a lot of people liked.

    I was a solo driver and they do a lot of west coast runs. Most of the runs were long. I rarely had a load that was less than 900 miles. They don't used force routing, which is a huge plus for me. However, just before I left, they announced they weren't getting APUs on any new trucks, so that's something to be aware of. Overall, I really enjoyed working for them. That may be just my preference for west coast runs, though. Houston was as far east as I ever got with them.
