    I rarely worked solidly OTR on a given day. It's easy to find a 30 minute break. Have lunch and poop. There it went!

    I guess....

    Well your right Schneider is terrible. Nobody come here, worse company ever.
    Rick has been on these boards a long time which everyone knows is the same as actually working for a company. Go to Prime.

    Oh , I disagree that nobody goes there . More like 5,000 newbies a year . Sorry if I interfere with your $1,000 bounty on sheep led to slaughter .

    Oh of course I get called a recruiter. How else could anybody be happy if their not one. Hey Rick maybe you could ask how many people on here I have tried to recruit. But of course I would be mad too if I spent 35 years in an industry I hated.
    Of course I never mentioned Schneider in this thread till you brought it up.

    Hey , I didn't hate the industry . I never worked with a bottom feeder for immigrant pay . Almost every employer I had held a CDL himself and knew the real world of trucking . You never mentioned Schneider ? :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:.
    Ever hear the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words "?

    all you have to do is look up trucking deregulation then call your local congressman / senator and have it reversed. its that simple and no union required
