Does Schneider really get drivers home like they advertise on the web ?

When I worked for Scneider I, like one of the previous posters, would request "the week of...." And never had a problem getting home.

 

I'm working in a "HomeRun pod" which is 14 out 7 home and never have a problem getting home. I've only been out more than 14 days once and that was to finish some training stuff at an OC before I parked the truck for my hometime.

But I got lucky and somehow it always worked out. The first company that I drove for (before Schneider) used to keep me out for 5 weeks, and on the day I was due to go home they would tell me this:

4. If you are out 8 weeks, you will only get 5 days off (see number 3).
