Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

We need this new on guard system!

 

What always gets me about these videos is the assumption that how that truck performs now, brand new, is how it always will. On guard craps out do to salt, heavy rain or just because it feels like it. So the makers show us this stuff like it will always work wonderfully like that. But that is a brand new truck, not a road weary one with worn tires and brakes. Much like the heavily maintained google car, I doubt it can be mass produced. Mainly because people refuse to maintain their vehicles seriously.

 

And I bet it's running disk brakes that are better then the drums we have.

 

When I was with a TE last week, the dang OnGuard system kept just shutting off and we kept having to pull off and stop the truck, then turn it back on again to reset the thing...

 

Anyone else get picked a lot for random drug tests? The 9 months I have been with Schneider, I have been "selected" 3 times. I don't have a problem with taking one, its just a hassle to stop what I am doing and head immediately to the medical place. And also i don't get paid for it either.

 

I did my first year. If I recall if u get selected for 3 in a year the 4 is paid. 0

 

Yeah, I think that's normal. I have taken 3 in a year. It does get old.

 

Same here, my first year or so I was getting them all the time, now, I haven't had one in over a year and a half. Pretty much tells me these tests aren't really "random" LOL

 

1 random in 3 yrs for me

 

1st year had like 3 randoms, switched over to bulk for 2 months, went on vacation to vegas, got a "random" first day back from vegas. Haven't had any for the past 2 years
