No New Trainees? Till when?

Here's one I would look into
James R. Smith Trucking, Inc. | Alabama Trucking

 

Schneider was a great first company a handful of years ago and depending on your luck in being assigned a good manager still might be. Maybe.
Schneider company culture worked when it was private, but the chemistry created by going public seems unhealthy. Your first red flag is Schneider not telling you until the last minute that you wouldn't be going to training. This thoughtless technocratic management is the more the norm at Schneider in employee (driver)-facing management.

It's now possible to work for Schneider for one, two, three, four, five years and not really make any more money per week from year one to year five. With a spectacular one cent per mile automatic raise each year, and a cpm cap after that, there's really no reason to stay with the company unless you need a hobby job.

Look under the hood of the companies you're considering...
Schneider stock price at 22, barely up from 19 when it went public in 2017. Third of a billion in debt.
For comparison, Knight-Swift is at 37, Werner is at 40, JB Hunt is at 101.

Trucking companies that focus on making money instead of constantly shaving driver pay and putting off maintenance to create shareholder value will have a license to print money, even in these strange times. Now is not the time to be servicing debt.
Definitely look elsewhere.

 

so has the issue with the endorsement been resolved? if so this may be your chance to get back to tank side.

 

What’s the update on this post?

 

5 years in. Came to swift to be a trainer. Great decision. Otr is only 30 percent capacity of this time period last year. Your best bet is to get on a dedicated account until things get back to normal. The home time on this account is weekly.
Btw, I have also worked for Schneider. The culture there was bizarre to me and the pay was the worst in industry
