    signed on with SNI as an IC about two months ago,and from day one I have been treated with respect,and gotten straight answers.
    Miles have been over 2000 a week,which is better than a lot of other drivers are getting that I talk to.
    The OC's are clean and well run,and the only complaints I've heard have been from drivers that are natural born flub-ups anyway...

    10 years with the pumpkins, 4 years solo and 6 years teaming.
    Never asked or pressured to run illegal.
    Live by log it as you do it has worked.
    Still getting excellent miles, averaging over 4500 per week.
    Home time not a problem, Tp Paul works hard for the drivers who work with him.
    Things are not perfect, but after 12 years in the service, it's not hard to deal with.
    During tough times actually living on a real budget and minimizing debt will eliminate alot of stress in the truck and at home.

    Safe miles to everyone!

    I'm a little confused, does Schneider have cameras in the cab? If so, how does it work or when does it come on?? I think that goes against some privicy laws somewhere doesn't it??

    They, as a fleet, do not have in cab cameras; although they might be testing them out.

    The cameras work in different ways depending on what they buy, but I think they generally record constantly while the truck is moving and if you make a sudden stop or hard brake, it will upload five seconds worth via some sort of signal back to yer boss for review. The cameras record both inside and outside the cab.

    As far as privacy laws...Im not sure how that whole thing works out. Basically, unless you brake hard or get in a wreck, your video will never be uploaded.

    The wife and I worked for SNI for 14 months- aside form low miles we liked everything about the company. If they could give us what we wanted we'd still be with them.

    Mac 18's are more important for Solo, teams it really makes no difference weather you send them in or not. Pretty much you make sure you put your ETA and be there when you said or you might not get that load thats there.

    The only thing that they have as far as monitoring you while you drive is overspeed, and hard stop braking. Solos the Qualcom will tell you when you are close to HOS, teams it pretty much doesnt do anything- you can use it while your partner drives, no HOS alarm. We never had a problem with any of this.

    Like I said we liked the company, if they could have just given us 5000 miles a week thats all we asked. They couldnt so we found a company that could, didnt seem hard to us but oh well. I wish them the best, if they pick up more freight we might be retreads.

    I think the problem is you will never know or not know when it is uploading, you have no way of telling. I don't care what the company tells you, assume its on.
