I requested a new mattress when I got my truck and Schneider told me no. What is the norm here?
Are they suppose to give new mattress for your truck?

Unless it's falling apart, generally no.

If that's your new assigned truck I'd deff request a new mattress. Do they not realize how sloppy and gross some of these new breeds can be. Not to mention bed bugs which there is a thread on here about. Other bacteria and viruses so on and so forth
Coover, Vic Firth, Fuelinmyveins and 2 others Thank this. -
At Swift I walk in and ask for a mattress.
I get one, no questions asked.Aamcotrans, DAX_, Lepton1 and 2 others Thank this. -
Does your mattress have a vinyl cover? And which shop are you asking? If you’re in Phoenix, wait until you get to another. And complain loudly every day to dispatch.
If that doesn’t work. Complain of being to tired to drive from no sleep. Be sure to call in and ask for a relaysuperflow and BigDog Trucker Thank this. -
They might give you a new one but bank on it being the cheapest pos they can buy .

If you are so picky about the mattress, you are free to buy your own.bzinger Thanks this. -
Hell, I have a friend (female) who refused to drive truck because of stained seat. It only took once explaining that men didn’t have gaping wounds between their legs that could become infected, to get the seat replaced. -
I wouldn't buy premium mattresses either for drivers I do not know whether they will stick around or trash the truck .
