Werner vs Schneider who is better?

I am sorry but if I based my trucking career based on speed I for sure be going down a horrible path. I look for reviews, driver Treatment ,pay,equipment quality. In fact even if everything was checked marked and the truck could get 75 I still wouldn't go 75 and I still wouldn't be late I could be doing 50 mph add hours as a buffer for big city driving like DFW and still arrive early. If you want to go super trucker thats fine go for it when you make your mistake another will fill the spot hopefully a actual driver.

My uncle even when he was left the military from retirement he paid cash for his own semi truck could go 80 speed he always did 70 never higher he didn't want to burn more fuel to save only a few mins. He only ever used the faster speed one type situation a dumb arse trucker he would only need have the pedal to floor a little get away from them normally a company driver, most common swift,knight,werner,schiender many more bad drivers won't reserved just for company drivers theres a lot of Operators who think because they have a few years under there belt you can't have crap happen. Well if that's the case wouldn't be seeing them along side highway on there side while I was in the truck stop for a night or two to ride out the snow storm.

If you don't stay on your toes you risk being on news labeled super trucker and possibility to have to go before jury because you didn't respect the road conditions or job in general. If this was a easy job everyone could do this well they can't people every year get shown that don't need to add to it just do your job safely.

I worked at both locations.. Werner for 6 months, Schneider for 7 years, only because I was hauling dedicated for Harley Davidson. There's positives and negatives with both... Werner for the most part "left you alone" compared to Schneider, but they were always brutally disorganized. Schnieder had their logistics planned out by UPS because they definitely dont have the brains or capabilities to do it on their own or they'd be just as hopeless. Werner had really seedy and gross Terminals, run down and not very clean, like the building was rented instead of owned. Schnielder for the most part had clean terminals. Schnieder did everything humanly possible to control your every move and turn you into a clone of the same driver. There's not a carrier anywhere on Earth that micro-manages their drivers with new "rules" every month to control every aspect of your life like Schnieder does. It's almost like company exectives are challenging each other they can't make up a rule that will eliminate 10% of the workforce overnight the second guy says, "Hold my Beer." Schnieder pay is always near the bottom.. I maxed out pay in like 2 years and they never increased it more than .43 or .45 cpm. Here's the thing though... Werner, as unorganized and disgusting as their terminals were. were actually a shockingly honest company... When I left US Xpress they charged me $350 for leaving before 6 months. said it was for taxes and their "physical" (one of the forms they had you sign with the monitor not facing you.) Werner by comparison sent $430 two months later... said it was for a trip they somehow forgot. I don't know about you but when you find out you forgot to pay someone that hasn't been an employee in 2 months and you pay them, that's pretty friggin' impressive. How many other other companies out there would go "Oh, we forgot to pay this guy.. he's not even here anymore, oh well, cha-ching for us." I never forgot that.
