Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

Watkins might have cared about you & treated you right. They gave you a good job but the problem is that Schneider knows they can get 100 drivers to do your job for $30k less per year. They don't care about you one bit & they will make changes that will cut into your pay & you will end up leaving. Then they can make more money. They also don't care about loyalty & longevity. So if they go through a couple drivers a year don't your job that's ok too because they will pay them way less starting out. I hope your job doesn't change but history usually repeats itself.

 

This person has been in here since 09 and only has 29 posts...think about it.....

 

@Driver91 , think he's talkin about you. Are you a bad driver?

 

Man just because weed is legal in a few states doesn't mean you have to go smoke till your brains fall out...

 

Man you guys are harsh. What's this guy's motivation to just randomly pop in here and lie his ### off? It sounds like he runs his butt off, in which it should pay #### good. Give him a chance to prove himself before tarring and feathering the guy.

 

Lol yeah I’m so bad that the dispatch in myrtle calls wanting me back about once every 2 weeks.
Schneider screwed up my money and my hometime. That’s why I left... This guy is running out of a terminal still using terminal dispatchers. Which is what I was doing until they screwed it up. So he will be on here crying before to long as well. Lol.

Oh by the way, Watkins/Schneider just lost 90% of its Lane furniture account Jan. 1. Only thing they are hauling now is what wayfair will let them haul. And when I was there they always said Lane was the reason we got 20 a stop. So some of you guys might be looking at a pay cut pretty soon.
That’s just one more account Schneider has lost since taking over. Makes it about 2 or 3 I think lol

 

Lane is a lost cause since the F.B.I. bankruptcy. All of my customers dropped the brand.
Myrtle switched to the Wednesday/Saturday dispatch to try and move more loads. A lot of drivers were taking Sunday night till midday Thursday to do one run.
Company drivers are used to run Chicago, Louisiana, Atlanta and Alabama/Florida areas but were struggling to meet customer demand.
I moved there when Walt closed the takeover deal with Action.
I ran out of there for most of 2014 but left when they changed load out dates.
Some of us made $25 a stop out of Myrtle.
It's a real craphole down there but we were there long before we got the FBI account and I'm sure we'll be there long after. There's a lot of accounts still in Mississippi and Alabama.

 

Because the quality here is terrible. Drivers with barely speakable experience giving advice and the never ending censorship and moderation control.
I prefer to spend my free time on more fulfilling activities.

 

Not calling you a liar but I was there in 2015 and I don’t remember getting help from outside terminals.
I wish u luck but it just didn’t work for me when they made changes. If they hadn’t cut my money in half by changing dispatch I would prob still be there. Matter of fact I’m still stick hauling just with a much better company. And running the same places as when I was there. So all is good.

 

It wasn't outside help. I moved there.
I was in 4000 and 2506 while there.
Had a house in Lake Charles. I ran flatbed after leaving there till January 2015.
My bad. I was there January 2014 - September 2014.
