New at Schneider, not new to the road

I have 10 years experience and I had these passed 2 years local as a favor from my boss so i could go back to school. He passed away in September and now Im in week 3 with Schneider.

I know better for sure, but I needed to get my work history together and get my foot back in the door quick.

1st week I hit FL and pulled empties for 3 days and barely broke 400 miles.

Week 2 that ####in parksmart ######## wouldn't keep the truck warm while im in Illinois and I ended up sitting at the OC for several days.

I finally got my check for week 1 and it was $300.

Now im up in the NE and its ridiculous. Not 1 load or pre assigned they've put on me was gonna be on time. They are usually already late by the time I get them.

So im asking, are these big companies always like this? Should I go ahead and jump ship?

Im used to putting miles behind me like nobody's business.

I have flatbed experience and minimal heavy experience.

Im just having a hard time hunting the ma and pa companies.

I dont mind relocating and I typically stay out 3-8 months at a time. But this has felt like a waste from the jump.

I know its slow right now, but somethin just feels off.

Communication is awful, that whole ETA/NAT thing is a joke. How am i supposed to predetermine jack #### if I got 6 stops and 2 of them have to be subbed out after I get there and am told nobody is allowed to drop anymore? I got 1 load offer for 1300 all in one go, never told me it would be a relay. I did get to chew 900 or so off the ### end but still. Ive noticed relays are a big thing with them.

Are teams doing any better?
I keep hearing I should have applied dedicated but after the bait and Switch at JB Hunt I figured I save myself the bs and just apply for OTR, but this #### feels like a cross between regional and Fedex home delivery.

Idk what to think. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Based in GA but I am willing to relocate.

 

I applied at RGT and ill hear back monday. As for Leasing my own truck, im a bit apprehensive about that. Ive heard horror stories and I have no credit either. I watched my boss kill himself trying to be independent.
