Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

I've decided I'm no longer going to haul loads for SNI.

I'm simply going to grab the brand new TA15XXXX trailers as they come out of the shop from the different OCs, and deadhead them around to other OCs and sit at the gate along with a sign EMPTY TRAILER USE FOR SALE. Highest bidder gets the empty off me. Bidding starts at $50 bucks.

 

Spoke to another 20 year Schneider driver....making .39 cpm. Makes my jaw drop everytime

 

Why that is Schneiders current cap I've got 18 years otr and have been stuck at. 39€ for the 3 years I've been here. We do get 03€ bonus where others are at 02€. Did hear they may be bumping it up to. 40€.

 

Schneider really is pushing the lease deal. Throwing out all sorts of incentives.

 

Forget the Atlanta OC and the local box/area planner. Instead of just making pick up of a preloaded trailer from the shipper I have to drive PAST the shipper to get to the OC and then WAIT for the relay driver to make pickup and get to the OC. Killed some time backing with the trainee. Load gets here, we finish Tue back we were on, postripped the 148*** trailer and went to hook to the 936*** pos. Swapped out 3 lights and then headed over to express for a leaky abs valve (no defects, thanks Kevin).

Spent an hour waiting for express bay to be told they weren't "allowed" to blow out my abs valve. It would take less than three minutes to do. Now I have to get up even earlier (2 instead of 2:30) so I can find the trailer, couple and make sure the shop actually fixed it in order to make OTD and be able to do my go home load. Gary, Indy, Edwardsville, Carlise will all do this in express.

m I ######## over a minor thing because I'm hot, tired and annoyed? You bet but I really wanted that extra half hour of sleep.

 

Why do I keep getting loaded trailers that are overdue for their AVI? It's the third time in a month that it's happened...

 

Most sit at customers way to long.

 

Well this one was taken from the customer to the Louisville drop lot 2 days ago, with that very visible sticker saying NEXT AVI DUE 4/14...

 

Anybody a trainer here?
