I tried them TODAY... The woman that talked to me had a really bad attitude. I think the environment in there, it is not so friendly.

Feels like a mistake.

How about the one you work for right now, is it good? -
Cupcake, what part of Wisconsin are you from? If you're looking for a local ltl job there are lots of options but it depends where you live. Much like the better otr gigs a lot of these places want experience. Also remember doing ltl you will be bumping a dock 20 times a day and have to talk to the shippers and receivers.
I don't know anything about Schneider so your miles may be as good as it gets but I would do anything you can to help gey more and stick it out. I run primarily regional and I'm getting significantly more miles than you and I'm home every weekend. I'm on a load now going 750 miles but this is only my second load breaking 500. I will say at least for me on these short hauls finding ways to outsmart the e-log is the trick. Also getting creative with the split sleeper berth can really work in your favor -
It was Charlie Brown, not Linus. I try to be helpful where I can!
Victor_V Thanks this. -
Victor, I think you nailed it.

Ottman - I would say that something went wrong. Every single person I've ever talked to at SNI has at least been pleasant, even my DM when I screwed up a load that then affected my following load, and both had to he taken off and another load put on me. Said pointedly that I effed it up, but they would get it taken care of and to hang out until my QC updated (45minutes or so), and never raised his voice or put me down or belittled me; just said I effed up and moved on. Even in the pre-hire process I had to get around a a non-CMV accident that happened within a year of my hire date, and it was my fault, and it was preventable, but I was open and honest and pleasant about everything, and here I am employed by them. I say this not because I have any reason what so ever to defend the company, but because I really must believe it was something you said. If I am wrong I sincerely apologize, but your experience is so unlike any I've had so far. -
personally I think the biggest thing you have against you right now is trying to get too much hometime. (just an opinion) I thought Schneider preferred their guys out longer.( I could be wrong, haven't talked to anyone with them in over 15 years) Have you conssidered playing the game by their rules until the one year mark? could make for larger paychecks and better opportunities opening up after the year.
