Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

Care to share the details?

 

I think I should ask for it.

 

I don't want to go to much into detail. Driver is a new driver on a J2 visa, and already has more CSA points in his short trip to our OS then I have in my trucking career.

 

Ah the wonderful J2 visas. American English comprehension? Kinda sorta. Understanding of the rule of law? Most times no. CMV driving experience is often driving a 15 sprinter van with a little trailer shuttling 3-4 hours between two towns - no maps, no trip planning, just follow instructions. US drivers who think they're micromanaged should go drive in another country.

 

I train a few and yes it's kinda hard. You have to speak clear English with no slang so if I yell bear he's probably gna lock the brakes. But atleast they are more motivated to learn than these new kids coming in just wanting a paycheck

 

Your buddy on the docks shouldn't be telling the driver "just another 15 min" then drive off around the corner and talk and giggle on his cell phone. Those convex mirrors hanging from the ceiling have several purposes. Summary, stop the lying and get back to work.

 

Do you know anything about the eastern regional account. Thinking of starting soon.

 

New pilot ... Toms Brooks, Va I81, still a #### hole!!

 

starting SNI in a few weeks can anyone tell me if its better to start off running eastern regional or the georgia pacific account?

 

Eastern regional will probably mean "spend your entire time driving in the Northeast between NJ/MA/CT." Not sure about the GP account, maybe someone on here that runs it will chime in.
