    Saw Schneider posted an ad on their page for a dedicated flatbed account out of Seguin,Tx.

    I happen to live 15 miles from Seguin and was wondering if it was any good.

    Ad makes it sound like ill be home every other day if not everyday depending on where the load is going in Texas.

    Currently busted out 5 months with Western Express flatbed, and after not seeing home for 3 months so far, this sounds good to me.

    I can only imagine what the training course is like for flatbed lol. Anything is better than Western Express though...well maybe except for CRST.

    Btw, Schneider stretches the truth on their hometime promises, but it'll be better than once every 3 months. Go in with the expectation of weekly.

    Ad really just says hometime throughout the week since the primary running area is Texas. Since you are expected to due 1 load a day, hometime would most likely be for reset or if Im ending my day at the Seguin plant.

    Western Express flat training is just 4 days with most of it just learning the proper way to secure coils since 1 mistake can mean death. Day 3 + 4 is just fixing every load that comes into the Nashville yard or if its done right taking everything off and putting it back on for practice.

    Let me tell you...had seen a few drivers drop a coil load off...42k coil with ONLY 3 chains holding her down.

    No cameras or safty monitoring systems so at least they have that going for them lol.
