Starting with Schneider on Monday

A SNI driver who is not a Kool-Aid drinking Schniddy... definitely NOT a fun company to work! In addition to all the unnecessary frustrations, jacking drivers around, they are now asking drivers to push scheduled time home for June until July because they need the help! KMA ain't happening!!

 

They need the help but yet complain of a soft freight market, see they only care about SNI.

 

They lost a couple big accounts and regained on of them. Through acquisitions they acquired to companies and a new large account out NY. The big YR is sharing '53 loads with them which has given them a boost in freight. Hence they'er desire to push drivers so they can shine by showing they can handle the surge in capacity.

The planners across the board, jerk drivers around leaving drivers to sit way to much, hunting trailers, burning up clocks without production, customer service not updating the customers on schedules causing drivers to sit, 30 - 45 min hold times when calling in to speak to DBLs and SNI wonders why drivers choose not to push their scheduled sometime.

Things must have been much better in the past, I don't know anyone could stay as a company driver for long. They limit how much a driver can earn when the reality drivers could do much better than allowed.

And on top of that SNI's safety mantra is a crock! Don't drink the orange kool-aid as it may toxic.

 

What's the big new account?...

Roll on...

 

Schneider recently acquired Watkins Shepard? I read about it somewhere on the forums here.

assume its a deal with YRC. Indy has a set of YRC doubles and lightweight tractors to match. single tank jobs with a different style 5th wheel.

 

On this forum it's best not to use anything that the company you work for can identify you by.
Lots of companies don't like this site. You can get name changed by administration of site.

 

Yesterday I parked with 8 min left on my 14 and got a message that looked a lot like this:
There's more to it, but it looks like an automatic thing. I wonder if doing this will now alert my dbl even if I don't go over hours.

 

Haven't see that one yet. Parked with 10 minutes on the 14 today and 5 left on Monday. It might be set up for new drivers to make sure they're aware.

 

Yeah I'm not sure why it was sent. I park with less than 60 min left more than 80% of the time. And I don't want to know the % of the time it's less than 10 min.. Something threw off that sensor last night.
