Q for Schneider drivers about NE runs

Wait until you have the option of missing a turn and going into a foreign country.

 

some drivers are skeerdy cats.

i live up here in New England, and when i'd be down south at the company's home terminal, too many cry-baby southerners would cry a river of crocodile tears about going up north, either in the winter, spring, summer, or fall.

i said to the dispatcher...."GREAT, gimme them loads, and turn me quick, i gotta make money"..

and back then, i did, and it was not uncommon to run "up to" 4,000 miles a week, while the skeerdy cats continued to cry, cuz they were staying at home too much.

the company i worked for, hauled from ALL the major tobacco companies down south, and the liquor/spirits companies out of Kentucky

 

Lol it’s a long way to Boston rolling north on 95 think they write songs about it lol go south never north in less you are really experienced Cause ya will get in a accident or just be in high stress mode ever time ya leave the truck stop there is a reason they need driver for those routes lol just saying Good luck

 

4000 miles on an elog in a 63 mile an hour truck running in north east.You have a pretty wild imagination

 

uh....we did not have elogs back then.....

i had even said....."back then"

make sure in the future, you ask before you speak.

 

Northeast isn't bad, of course I run at night when I can. People make a big deal over nothing, I hit just as much traffic in New England as I do in St. Louis and Houston

 

the northeast is garbage, i know, ive lived there. the stress of the traffic and crap roads will kill you or your health. these super truckers that act like they are better because they run the northeast are clueless. most of them have no choice, they live there, those fools have to defend it. making drivers feel like they are "less" or "scared" is how they con drivers into going to that garbage hole. just talk to a driver from boston, jersey or philly, 'most of them are mental.

 

Yes St Louis or Houston has lots of traffic but your comparison of 2 cities against a whole region.NE isn’t pleasant to run to congestion very limited truck parking a lot of tight maneuvering for p/u and delivering.I’m not sure who some on here are trying to kid NE compared to other regions are by far the worst

 

There's literally traffic and congestion everywhere you go. How bout Chicago, Baltimore, Charlotte, Jacksonville, need I go on? I've been running out to New England for the past year and yes the traffic does suck at times, but I do this thing called "trip planning" and have never once had any issues getting places on time for appointments or finding parking. Obviously nothing I tell you will change your mind so I'll just leave it at that
