Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

Chicknwing, me (but I'm not an IC)...can't remember anyone else at the moment.

 

My wife and I run teams. They will give you all the miles you can handle after you prove you can be on time. They are constantly riding us to do more miles. We just don't want them or need them.

 

Hello. I'm out of SLC, Utah and thinking of going solo with Schneider. Can any other solo drivers (48 or West Region) tell me about their bobtail policy? With my previous company, I'm used to dropping my trailer at a company-approved yard and bob-tailing a short distance to go shopping, etc.

Thank you in advance.

 

If I remember correctly, SNI's policy on company drivers using the trucks, even bobtail, for personal use is a resounding NO. Our OCs mostly have company cars we can use, for whatever that's worth.

 

That's major drag. Thanks for the info.

 

Not always so... I've dropped a few trailers, and headed into town for food on occasion. It's more of "where you are" and "what's close by" that you and your DBL discuss. If you are cool about it, I've never been turned down...... I've always just asked for forgiveness after the fact....

 

Well, if I have to ask permission each time or ask for forgiveness afterwards, it's not something I'm happy about. Thanks for the input.

 

Good to know.

I, personally, am too lazy to drop a trailer I don't have to drop...or maybe it's that I'm too lazy too hook it back up.
