J&R Schugel Trucking

So I spoke with a recruiter from J&R Schugel last week and had another visit my school this morning. I am setup to attend orientation with them on July 24th after I am done with school. Seems like a very solid and driver friendly company. I can honestly say I feel like I will be making a good decision in making them my first choice of companies to begin my journey. They are rapidly expanding their customer base here in the Southeast and Florida so there is freight to get me home and out of here when I am ready to roll again. It seems like with them you are a person and not just a truck number.

I have read many different stories good and bad right here on TTR. If there is one thing I have learned throughout my research is that you get back what you put in. You go in with a bad attitude you are going to fail, you go in with a positive attitude you will succeed. I am looking forward to possibly becoming a "Skittle" or "Chiclet" as they are referred to.

 

I was told the only openings right now for where I live is reefer, I am OK with that.

 

LOL ... I do want a purple truck, its my favorite color. Funny story about that, I was talking with the recruiter at school earlier and mentioned I would want a purple truck, he blindly reached into his bag and pulled out a purple J&R Schugel pen and handed it to me. It is meant to be. He had every color of the rainbow of pen in there just like their trucks.

 

Do not have to worry about that with me. Schugel seems to be very big on safety too, hopefully they get that idiot off the road.

 

I will definitely document my journey here no matter where I end up, however I have a strong feeling it will be at Schugel. Everyone I have spoken with about the company, inside and outside, has had nothing but good things to say about them. The random negative review I have read was probably some idiot who went in with the wrong attitude. You always get out what you put in no matter what you do, that is something I learned early in my working life.
