    I'm a Schugel alumni. Worked there for a year and a half. Not a bad place to get your foot in the door. Good equipment, plenty of miles, always got home on time... you could do a lot worse. Get ready to haul a LOT of Kraft foods. Best of luck to you.

    I work for Schugel right now but I'm on the dry side. It's a good company to work for but like with every company we do have some real douchebags that drive for us. Though they are few and far in between. Good luck with orientation.

    Are you a company driver or are you doing a lease? If a company driver mind if I pick your brain a little and ask some questions?

    I had one of the lime green freightliners with the chrome front bumper. (It was that or a yellow T660)

    Lots of Kraft foods and lots of US Rt 30.

    I was out of Florida with them and they had lots of Freight down there with a few companies .Obviously orange juice and Coca Cola

    I remember going to Columbus for orientation and pretty much everything else , Dan is a cool guy with the same interests as me ,haha

    Since I am brand new I would go through Orientation in New Ulm they said. That is good to hear about the Florida freight .... assuming they would probably run me to Tropicana in Bradenton since its right across the Skyway from where I live.

    Did you deliver to the grocers down here too? Publix, Walmart, Winn-Dixie?
     
    bigred81 and Lonesome Thank this.
