Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

Well was driving in Connecticut near the Massachusetts border and I can say I got to see some moron crash his honda civic down into a small embankment. Was cruising at 60 when this moron blows by me at about 75-80 and the cuts right across my nose and slams on his brakes right in front of me trying to hit the exit ramp at the last second. I basically just watched him the whole time calmly and didn't even react because he was going so fast I didn't even have to brake even though he was.

Guy gets over into the exit lane, slams on the brakes even further, locks it up completely, smoke is just going everywhere from his tires, then I continue watching him in my right mirror as he comes to a quick thud in the ditch between the exit ramp and the road. You seriously need to be on the choice program so you actually get paid to put up with these ridiculous idiots, and I will put up with them for the correct price. Company driver pay is not enough to put up with these mental midgets in the northeast.

 

Stevep come on over to the choice side.

 

I've eaten at the new Indy cafeteria - the food is pretty good. They had a great tenderloin and provided an excellent gyro lunch for driver appreciation. However, I preferred the people from Uncle Monkey's better. I once went in with my wife and toddler son, and ever since then, they'd always ask me how my family was doing. They were super friendly. I feel like the new people aren't really that happy to be there. Maybe it's just me...

 

Moose, your not the only one w/ that. My unit sometime reads 120*, I just subtract 20* to get an idea of the actual temperature, lol.

 

From what im reading if its a cascadia that sensor is tied to the hvac system. Could lead to ac compressor faulure. Lucky its summer time and reading hi.

 

Dang pumpkin patch is still around

 

is anybody else having problems with poor fuel quality at the Houston yard?

 

I'm in the process. Want to wait til about a month from now so I can take off some time (2 or 3 weeks) to hammer out the details, figure out the insurance stuff, etc. DBL and/or recruiter (not sure what is going on to be honest) also are dragging their feet. Granted I've been slightly indecisive too but it's just I don't feel like I have the time and don't feel like playing phone tag when I'm running hard on the company side. It's pretty much drive, eat sleep right now lol

 

What do you expect as lo? Its more stress n work as a lo. It's still drive sleep drive sleep repeat.

 

I have nothing to lose by trying. Going with a 1 year lease is my plan at this time as to not overcommit. My expectations are to make more money as I've basically hit the ceiling earningwise on the company side. I have no problem running hard, as a matter of fact I prefer things that way. My comment regarding running hard was in relation to it being difficult to figure out all of the details when I'm always on the run. Getting health insurance set up is my biggest concern. Already have contacted true north twice and they still haven't sent me information yet. I need to be able to hound them on the phone and/or find another place to get insurance from.

I've seen rate sheets from certain customers in the northeast (schneider gets paid $4/mile on a particular Poland springs account) yet as a co driver we get less than 10% gross on that run. I'm ready to give the lease and eventually own side my all, and if I find out it's not for me then it'll be time to weigh my options. I'll run the northeast for 5 weeks straight if I get paid more to do it. I'm great with numbers, I'm an accountant in my past life, the business side is no problem. Maintenance on the other hand is my weakness so hopefully schneider provides a decent support structure there. I have a #### ton of money in the bank so it's time to give it a go
