    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 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.
