Changing again, the rules change but we're not told til after.

Split sleeper is useful but for newbies, it could be one thing that if not logged correctly, could cause a violation. Just better to not allow it than have people do it incorrectly.

 

Exactly

 

I understand, it's because Schneider is too cheap to get it resolved lol.

 

Same thing happened to me few months back.. I was at the yard in Carlisle taking a 10 hour.. I had a load picking up in Palmyra GM... The apt window when I booked it was from noon till midnight showing ready at noon.. I wake up at 5am to drop the load I was on off first and something told me to check my preassignment and it switched to ready at midnight...I called in and they tried to say it always said midnight.. Which it didn't. I told them take me off the load... They said only if they could find a driver. I said I dont care who you find or don't find that's not what I agreed to and I'm not running it.. They took me off 3 secs later smh

 

I was live loading in Indianapolis, for a load to Siloam Springs, AR. Load puts me about 30 miles from my house.

Before they finished loading my trailer, (was supposed to be a drop and hook), my wife called me to tell me delivery date changed from when we had booked it. Delivery date got moved out 5 days, on a 500 mile load that I was planning to deliver the next day.

 

Sheet happens.
Sometimes pick up times change due to a shipper delay. Happened to me to this weekend.
I was pulled from the load though but got it again when it was reposted with a different time.

Better to know ahead of time than deadhead there and get screwed.
That's why i dont like booking far out, wayyy more often I get screwed by a shipper not having the load ready when they thought it would be.

 

They call that bait and switch. They needed a truck to get it loaded, then at the last second they pulled the switcheroo on you. Should take the trailer to the receiver and just drop it lol. I'd raise hell on that one. At least drop it as a relay. It's not ethical to make changes like that, especially when they didn't even notify you about it.

They want to put up all sorts of rules the driver has to follow yet they'll still pull this crap. It just happened to change after you already got there, yeah right lol

 

Do IC's have access to the general crossroads page that company drivers would see?

Theres a link to what amounts to company policy on social media platforms.

Basically states that unless SNi has it posted publically, dont post internal stuff

I would assume that business contracts between SNi and its ocntractors might be considered proprietary. As hyperaware as they seem to be with what gets posted here, THIS trained steering wheel holding monkey suggests an edit , and any other specific contract postings are taken to PM.

 

If we can't use Line 5 for personal conveyance under non-work related circumstances, then why do we pay "bobtail" insurance for that exact reason? Bobtail insurance basically covers you as a car....which is exactly what you are on line 5...a 13'6" 3 axle car....hence the "need" for bobtail insurance. If we can't use our vehicles as it's clearly laid out in the FMCSR, then why are we paying for it?

 

You don't bobtail on line 3?
