Schneider IC - feels like company drivers are calling in complaints on IC'S

Gossip, hurt feelings....Forum rules give me pause here. Just do your job and you have nothing to worry about. Schneider knows they get calls from current/ex disgruntled employees calling in complaints.

 

They're just jealous that they're forced to run 60 when IC's are blowing them out of the water. Screw them. I choose to run 62 for fuel economy reasons but if it's a tight schedule I'll run faster. Had one driver headed down to Laredo when I was a company driver that wouldn't let me pass him on us 59 in Texas when I was running overspeed. He was cruising at 59, then when the passing lane came he floored it to 64 to prevent me from passing him. He did this for 100 miles until I finally got by him. Then at the oc he was talking crap about me not even realizing I was sitting right there listening to it all silently lol

 

No vibes like that for me, but there is always complainers in every bunch. Screw em if they do.

 

That's just rude. If I am forced to block traffic with the Brat at 61, I will certainly let a driver who chooses to go faster around me. I've even let off the cruise if it looked like it was gonna be close for the other truck to get back over. One thing I do ask, though, is that if you pass me, KEEP MOVING!!! Please don't pass me at 64, then slow down to 60 when you get back over...

 

You are a better man than me lol

 

Stevep1977 you stayed behind him for 100 miles and you could've passed him? If it was me I'd of passed him and then slowed his slow but down once traffic was next to him and then I'd of drove away.

 

but I'm a nice guy so naw I would never do that

 

I got past him, then when we pulled into a scale on us59 the cop was questioning me checking my bills and doing a quick walk around inspection. The schneider guy got past through right away. So now I was behind him again lol.

Then by the time I caught up to him again it was two lanes and I wasn't going to try and pass him when I was heavy. When a passing lane came (once every 15-20 miles approx) I went to pass him and he intentionally floored it to prevent me from passing. We were both side by side maxed out at 64 basically playing chicken up to the merge back to one lane. I let off and got back behind him and he resumed his 59-60 again. He did that again at the next passing lane. He finally just let me by the next time. Overall, yeah, it was a 100 mile or so ordeal. Guy had his 10 year of service and million mile sticker and everything trying to show me

 

Didn't know ICs had a problem with us lowly company drivers....guess they gotta feel superior over someone...smh
