Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

How is your extension with hold ups like?

 

Yeah, all midroof expect trainers. They have almost the same bonus as schneider does, idle, mpg, accident etc etc. You can idle but u might not get your bonus, plus they have epu in their trucks. Speed, cap at 65, no such thing as over speed but excessive speed is at 75 which can only hit going down a hill

What u mean? Usually the loading/unloading takes a hour or 2, but it's the padding, capping, straping, tarping that takes a while.

Usually I been waiting for loads around Thursday or Friday when they are trying to get loads to driver to sent them home. Or at least the right direction. But when i do get a load, its usually a nice run about 1000 miles run. I think most of the office people go home on the weekend that's why they give long runs on the weekend

 

Yeah, detention,lol. This stupid phone (LG4)makes it impossible to type without having to correct most the words.
Just this post was a struggle.

 

Detection after 2 hours. Doesn't count how long it takes for the driver to get it ready, just the customer. But I'm hearing some drivers timing the whole process and getting detection, sooo we'll see. Just doing my time and getting tips from other drivers as I go

 

Yep SNI upgrading the fleet to the DT12 automated transmission. There are some kW 680 in Wisconsin with Eaton ultraplus transmission

 

Congrats

 

Yeah I'm loving the government manadated drive time. Such a joy to please.

 

Hello Guys/Gals. Just wanted to introduce myself and figured this would be a good place to start.
My name is Ryan and I'm going to Chicago in December for my Schneider orientation so that I can drive Regional Intermodal out of Chambersburg PA.

I've been doing my research on this site and others to give me some heads up on what I can expect. It seems like a good opportunity especially being a larger trucking company and I hope to gain a solid foundation to build upon in the future.

I got my DMV book to begin studying for my Hazmat and Tanker endorsement qualifications so that I can be a step ahead. So if you all have any pointers, questions or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it! I like this forum as it seems like an invaluable resource.

Thanks!
