considering switching to Schneider

Are you talking company or IC ? I've been happy with SNI on the van side. I know theres plenty on here who can answer ?'s so just ask but you'll need to be more specific as to exactly what you want to know.

 

hmmm I thought Prime flatbed pays well.

 

Problem I've heard is they nickel and dime you til it equals a dollar then charge you 2 dollars for a 50 cent song.................lol I have a friend who did the Prime ride and he was happy at first then it all went down hill. I wish every one success but to have someone else dispatch your business sounds like a recipe for disaster as soon as you make some one MAD.

 

On a lease yeah I could see that.
Notice how pretty much no company puts out all the lease details online along with ALL deductions.
hmmmm

 

with you apparently from Baton Rouge , tanker would be the best bet for you ..that's one of the best areas besides Houston to drive a tanker in...refineries and chemical plants everywhere..

 

Dont waste ur time,stay away from large trucking company. Not going to make money,everybody goes for the training and leaves,best training in trucking though

 

If a company is buying new trucks and trailers ,do u think they have money to pay the drivers decent too..thats the question u have to ask yourself.got my one year in and haul ### out of there

 

Schneider has good points and bad points, like every trucking company. They claim they just gave a raise of 8-13 percent to most drivers. I just left for a second time and won't be back. 60 mph puts you in the lane of contention in most big cities, that's a recipe for trouble. no idle policy, which is very foggy and unclear puts you up against dispatcher and bonus in many terminals. but tankers is a different ball game at schneider. you need to talk to the tanker drivers about every detail to build a clear set of perceptions. Schneider, according to reports is now #7 in the U.S. in size. A Privately owned company.(They cater to the owners wishes above the board of directors on some things. But that doesn't guarantee intelligent decisions or policies either.)
They desperately need more drivers, like all the others, they can take all the business they have drivers to support. Most businesses use trucking companies like musical chairs to figure out what they'll tolerate, the same way trucking companies do drivers, and drivers do trucking companies.
