Not coming to Schneider at this time.

ICA, brokers, agents don't care about you driver.. If you had blown a tire on your truck going out of route your ICA wasnt gonna pay for it... As I stated weeks ago trucking will never get better if we keep being puppets smh

 

well simply put this way... While I think it's safe to say most of the IC's over here generally are not a problem it's the minoritywho don't want to comply with anything... It has nothing to do with being puppets and frankly for those you think just because you can book your own load doesn't mean you have to follow any rules or policies so to speak well my advice is go get your own trailer and do what you want with it but as long as you're pulling Schneider's trailer they do have the authority to control the movements on their trailers since they technically do own them...and also in the nearly five months I've been here they have never sent me in the opposite direction to drop a trailer or go get an empty trailer from where my next load was so for those that keep insisting that's all they do I'm not buying it... And frankly Schneider isn't perfect no company is but if you don't like it there's the door..

 

Exactly... I used to work on the Choice board and coming back in a few weeks I think.. In my 4 years there I've never went out of route for anything and there is definitely rules to follow. But I think the crew in green bay are a little more lenient then Charlotte. That's the vibe im getting from these post. And that's kind of ### backwards being Green bay is the main term... But we'll see.. I kind of miss being home every weekend netting close to 2k..

 

What's the deal with Mercer?

 

My first week here, they sent me 50 miles north to drop an empty, when I was going 100 miles south to go home. And when I left back out of the house, they still thought I had the same empty.
What if we are in a dead area and we deadhead home, let's say 200 miles home. As long as we comply with the empty trailer move we are not fined??? Nothing has been clear about stuff like that.

 

From talking to Green Bay drivers, I know that's how it is..Charlotte beats to the tune of a different drum.

 

It's cool but I'm gone more now and the money isn't really any different.. Probably more at Sni because there's no trl payment... Also you have to ride to make money at Mercer.. I had a system that was working for me when I was on choice.. That's how I see these guys leaving Choice to go to either landstar or Mercer to pull a van and I laugh.. The only way switching makes sense is if you're doing flat...

 

That's why I'm going right back to my old ICA in green bay... It was laid back never had an issue..

 

Yes as long as you comply with the trailer drop no worries. No fine and you can book freight from anywhere.
