Schneider and Mcelroy

Schneider Bulk

 

Schneider training is three weeks, with the second week out on the road with a training engineer. You still are on the road the first and third week but that's mostly backing and driving around your training OC.

Schneider does try to keep you rolling but if freight is soft or you are in a dead zone or trying to get home, you may end up sitting.

Trucks are being set to 63 for van and bulk. Automatics are replacing manuals fleet wide.

 

Currently driving for Schneider.

 

McElroy put me out with the worst trainer ever. He was good at talking on the phone, picking his fever blistered lips, and complaining about McElroy. Three weeks of that... Missed my daughter's birthday being out with him.

Other than that, you'll tarp ever single load even when they'll be zero rain for months on end.

Lowe's loads are awkward to strap and tarp and may be overweight.

Other than Lowe's, lots of waiting for drop and hooks to get loaded.

 

Van

 

Schneider dry van sucks, can't speak for tanker yankers. Hopefully they're getting more miles these days, I know it was slow there for a while.
