Schneider chat room - Closed see new thread linked in the last post

Wow, was out for 4 weeks and just took 4 days off. My NAT has been set to 06/01 09:00 since Sunday. I have a preassignment thats a relay that I pick up here at the Portland OC but don't pick up until tomorrow morning, then it delivers to Portland OR, a total of 0 paid miles.... To be fair, I got back a day early and originally was scheduled to be back on the 2nd, but why did they ignore my NAT.....

 

I'm starting school on the 11th & considering the Schneider tanker division here in Michigan. I've been reading a lot of great info in this forum but not much in the way of Schneider tanker division. Can anyone shed some light on this ? I spoke with one recruiter from Schneider. Thanks for the help!

 

...and its a 1.5 hour live unload...

 

It all depends on what u wanna run regional all 48 or a dedicated 600 a week is probably the average but again it depends on how u trip plan and how many miles a week u get I've been southeast regional for 16 months now I've been trying for a month and a half to go bulk but its taking to long so I've decided to try being an ic/lease I figure I can make more money that way with less driving days and no forced dispatch is a plus

Yep, the link Nakmuay posted should have a lot of info for ya. Unfortunately there are not a lot of bulk drivers on here very often.

 

What a way to get back to work. Found out the 0 mile load I had preassigned to pickup and deliver tomorrow was screwed up and is for today (found out after I drove 45 minutes home). Got back to my truck and went to grab the relayed trailer but it wasn't there (drove througj the whole yard about 4 times). Found out the wrong trailer was listed. Grabbed the load, got to the delivery location and the gate workflow tells me to go through was the wrong one. Went to the right gate, 2 other trucks waiting and I was told to circle the block, come in on another street and park at the curb. That required a right turn that I couldn't make and ended up having to find my way through downtown Portland to get back. Now I've been sitting for half an hour waitig to get into a dock. All this for a 0 mile paid load that was brought over here from Nebraska by a team.

 

And to top it off, the team left a massive padlock on the trailer (I thought was from the shipper due to the shear size of it. Bolt cutters won't cut it (.5" thick) receiver is gonna try a die grinder. If that doesn't work then I'm going to have to take it back to the OC and have it torches off. Reciever can't start production without this load. I hate relayed loads!!!!!!

 

Oh, and freight is slow and this may be my only load today...

 

Where at in Michigan are you at? Im looking at SNI in the tanker division in the oil fields.
