An IC meeting in Green Bay.

It's there way of saying..we go slow because we hire idiots to drive our trucks..so we think everyoneelse should do the same...Drivers need to light a storm over this...

 

Wonder If They Will Make It 80 mph. They should if they gonna force this crap it's legal on UT and TX.

 

65mph

 

well now that that there is input for changes who is going to put up a final list or first roiugh draft for comment and how do you plan to get it to the other 2300 IC's

 

I say this....to get traction in GB you need FW and TennMan and to be frank Jeffery L . I believe our contract calls for arbitration, which we really don't need at this time. I'm ALL in but as a group we should hire a lawyer to be with us. Not saying we're going to file etc but I assure you 300 to 2500 IC show up in GB they will FREAK OUT what if we all just droped our trailers and BT home? Let's be smart, let's plan.

Be Safe Out There

Okay time to settle this...

When i went out if service I called my ICA and asked them I heard about a new drop lot but said it's not in Navigo. Was told they know nothing about a new drop lot.
I set my NAL for the drop lot I always went to when I go home.
Box planners even set up one of those fake loads home to drop my empty at the specific drop lot location code, eventually it was changed just for me to bobtail out and NAL was set there.

I get there and I see ZERO Schneider trailers and I'm like hmmmmm.....

Long story short when I came back to my truck I see a message saying "you are parked in a lot Schneider no longer owns, you need to move your truck or be towed."

When I called Schneider prior they didn't know anything about a new lot.
My NAL was set for that location so cs, box planners etc saw that ahead of time and said nothing.

Eariler that week I booked a live unload at a customer that is always drop and hook. On google maps it even shows ZERO trucks in docks.
I called Schneider to comfirm it was live unload, they said yes.
I get there and it's a drop and they weren't releasing empties.
Over 10 loads were headed there that day and suddenly all those trucks now had no empties thanks to some mess up internally somewhere.
I couldn't get an empty the rest of that day... by night time they told me to go back to that very location to get an empty. I sent in a message saying that's the place I was at eariler today that weren't releasing empties to nobody, is that all taken care of now and will I be okay to go?
Answer I got was yes, so I go back and was rejected for an empty yet again
Bare in mind I did get paid $100 for that empty hunt but it could have been avoided and there's a point to all this....

The point is.... Schneider does NOT care! They currently have issues they don't care to resolve and a major part of why those issues occur I believe is because they're understaffed and too cheap to hire more people to manage everything.
They would rather live with load pay errors, appointment time errors, box planners errors ALL of which costs Schneider money (i was just paid $100 because they didnt know what they were doing).
These problems have been here since i started and it has not changed.
Why are things the way they are? Schneider is cheap.

Time to snap back to reality, there's endless drivers lined up to take our place.
What we are to Schneider is driver numbers, not people.
They care more about their bottom line above all else.
It's the Schneider way or the highway, they don't need us, they don't even need us to refer drivers they've got soo many lined up to join.

It took Schneider a month to fix a sort button.
That's how much of a priority we are to them.

Imo It's a waste of time thinking Schneider would spend more money making things better brought up by a few ICs.
They've got bluntly obvious things they currently could fix but they choose not to of course because it would cost them.

 

Frankly..this is what's wrong with this industry...roll over and take it..it happens everywhere..but next time a comany complains about drivers then they should look in the mirror....it happens at small companies too...I was at sec which only has 140 trksand they couldn't even figure anything out....welcome to the new dumbed down America....lol

 

It is like this everywhere, some places a little better in some area other worse.
It is what it is

 

And in a few months or years, those drivers will all be talking about the same thing #### near word for word.

 

No dude. No need for a apologies. I got a kick out of it really. Just glad you didn't get all religious and quit drinking on us. No thin skin here. Grass isn't always greener as I'm sure you know. Could use a little "whimsy and high hopes" around here at times.
