Getting back in

I just completed experienced driver training at Schneider. I have to call my Driver manager on Monday to find out where I will need to go to pick up my tractor. It may be that I will have to be flown out to Phoenix or Denver to get it.

Right now the only red flag is with what I was told by the recruiter and what I am being told by my new Driver manager. The recruiter told me that I had several options: 2 weeks out / 2 days home, 11 days out / 3 days home and 7 days out / 2 days home. I chose seven and two. When I told my new driver manager this he kinda gave me a disappointed look and said that he cannot guarantee me being home immediately following seven days out. He also said that I will make no money with a schedule like that. I let him know that I am not concerned about money as I have extra income from another source. In the end I just want to be able to travel around a bit and enjoy some trucking.

 

I was told the account I would be on is regional. When I got there they had me listed as western 11. I kept telling them it was not accurate and they told me that it is what they have available. When I expressed my concern to my DM he said that I would see a lot of I5. Hopefully that means that he is respecting my request to stay regional.

 

Will do! Thanks for the advice. Interstate 5 running north to South from CA to WA
