    Schneider National or Western Express- either one would be Fine
    Schneider's Chemical Tanker side was Union,(Not sure if they still are)...

    As for Western Express- I talked to an ol boy waiting in line to Load last Week- Older Fella who retired from farming- He Said They treated him fair.No issues.

    Dont Believe a lot of "Hype" you here from the public

    Well I was thinking SNI because they have a terminal nearby.. Western only have the Fontana yard which is 970 miles from my home state lol. Not sure if any of you truckers out there choose a company with a terminal near home or if you don't really care and just go with whoever. Thanks.

    Western also is in Nashville. In fact, that's their base. I drove for them for a (short) while and could never get out of the northeast. Schneider might get you home more often, if that's important to you.

    Western Express if you are desperate.

    Western Express wasn't bad when I worked there a decade ago. The cpm wasn't high but I had lots of miles on the flatbed side. I saw the house about once a month, which is fine for me. If they are how I remembered them, I would say overall they are a good company.
