10 rules to be a (Good) Schneider Driver

Lucky you lol.
My experience had been the opposite.

 

This is the point of this... to try and reach out to other Orange drivers to get them to be mindful. I am embarrassed by some of my fellow company drivers at times. If this helps 1 of them be less "entitled to the road" then I did my job.

 

Prime driver here... Can confirm...

 

I rarely see a prime out in the middle lane and the good thing about prime you can see them about a half mile away so you can get over to pass .... seems like Schneider has figured out that the resale value isn't good on orange tractors never see them anymore

 

I used to have a regular run from milwaukee to chicagoland. That stretch of I-94 south of milwaukee is rife with schneiders (especially intermodals), and they always camp out in the middle. As for prime, i would agree with @Woodys. As slow as they are, in my experience they usually stay to the right and are for the most part pretty respectful drivers. As much as anyone else is anyway. But it is late, it has been a long day... maybe i am delirious.

 

I drove for schneider and i would sit in the middle lane in chicago and other poopy areas with bad mergings. It's just too dangerous to stay on the right as a slower truck. Cars aren't the best of drivers.

 

I always thought chitown had the best get-on ramp mergers in the country.

Anywhere else, I always fantasize about sending people to Chicago for a few weeks to learn how to merge .. they'll either be dead , or they'll learn how to use a brake and gas pedal

 

was on 294 on a Sunday afternoon very light traffic came up to a sign left lane closed ahead and it was like they put a magnet there as about half of the 4 wheelers went over to the left lane ... that's Chicago

 

I think it would go A LOT better for Schneider if they stayed at like I-10 and below, and east of I-39.

Cause they are hands down the worst, period, gold medal, first place prize for worst, when they get on anything bigger than a gopher mound.

What does "Drive orange mean?"

 

They make good food. Whenever I take in a load of fuel I get some lunch or breakfast.
