    Schneider turned me down for an accident in my personal vehicle back in 2k11. I applied for them around Feb. 2K15 just before I was about to graduate truck driving school. My cousin was a DM for them out of West Memphis so I wanted to go there for that reason haha. Sucks that stupid accident stopped me, but things still worked out for the best with 2 despised companies lol. (Werner & Marten)

    We, my fine Sr, are all good.

    Btw, that was a 100% true story, but insensitive none the less.

    Kind of off subject here but your 2 World War story reminded me of something:
    My father was in Europe in Pattons' Third Army.

    I remember how he told me that his two biggest fears were of the German Panzer tanks...

    And of the German Focke Wulf F190's coming down and strafing those American "Red Ball Express" deuce and a half trucks with four 20 MM cannons opening up on them at 300 mph plus.
    He told me it was absolute carnage and terrifying power and that those planes would destroy an entire column in just one pass.
    Body parts and truck parts flying everywhere....
    He would describe other contacts with the enemy in pretty graphic detail (I have two bronze stars that he was awarded, here with me now, one for actions against the enemy on or around Dec. 30, 1944.. the so called Battle of the Bulge) but I never detected the same fear that he seemed to re-live as he was recounting the memories as to when those planes would come screaming down on him.

    i have been in my local job 20 years
    i know when your going down the road you have too much time to think about that casual remark at the yard or that message on the Qcomm.
    you think about it and all the ways to interpret it and start thinking "those rotten SOBs"and they have dealt with dozens of drivers since then and it meant nothing at the time.
    then you have the climbers who call the office every day and tell them what you said about the company and exaggerate it or out right lie to get better runs or newer equipment.
    you have a great opportunity dont F it up
    when you go in the yard get your equipment and your orders and get going
    if you see drivers or staff from your company on facebook block them immediately
    all these people will be gone in 3 years and i realize now i should have been too
    grab the next better paying thing after a year
    its all about your family and your bankroll and how you are remembered

    No, I call y'all obtuse. And by Y'all I mean Dave.

    Y'all also call me a bleeding heart liberal who doesn't think people have to work hard and be responsible. My posts here show that not to be quite true. I just th ink everyone should get a fair shot at being successful. What you do with that shot is your own.

    If this guy would show any proof of SNI acting illegally or immorally I would back him 100%. I've done it for guys here in the past. This guy doesn't want to take ownership of his actions, and that irks me.

    Lol, point taken.

    With this guy I think you need to find the SNI truck wrecked/demolished in the don't make any sense it could happen that way and you will find him.

    It's where I started out, and I had a good enough time of it. If you can get in on a dedicated account with them, getting home regularly and having a set schedule is nice. Dedicated lanes also have the benefit of putting you with a smaller support staff, who will actually get the chance to know you. So, that'd be my recommendation.
