Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

Having IC's retrofit their trucks cost SNI nothing therefore they don't care about expense.

Come on Class Action....

 

LMFAO why don't we just sit around sipping hot cocoa and hum a folk song instead

 

You bring the cocoa I'll make it hot!

 

When I get someone in my truck who says they "have a great work ethic" I instantly know I'm dealing with a lazy guy. The older the person making the statement the worse work ethic they have.

 

They're just using this OnGuard thing as an excuse to push out the older trucks. They know none of us are going to retrofit. They were going to either use this as an excuse or force us to put DPF filters on the older trucks to get rid of us. One way or another. Oh well. My escape strategy is in in the planning stage. Save up a bit of money, then get my authority. I'm done being babysat but "not an employee." They don't want to keep the older, experienced drivers who actually have good records. They want to fill the sitting trucks with any warm body, and somehow think OnGuard will stop them from getting in wrecks. Yeah... good luck with that. All the electronics in the world can't make up for stupid and careless.

 

Ha, it is not any different than a big company promising the moon and stars to get you into their truck, but when you get there you see a different situation. It works both ways. Not everyone has bad work ethics if they state they will work, just like not every company will be crappy.

 

Actually he is spot on correct. I was in in construction industry for twenty years and would hear the same line. Only difference was construction workers couldn't blame the transportation industry for being crappy. Red flags are at full mast whenever someone is looking for a job and at the same time preaching work ethic. Just the way it is. You can blame who you want.

 

I have to agree with you there. Perhaps I should have distinguished my example as "work ethic" as seen from the outside rather than claimed by the individual.

The only time I've seen an exception to your rule in older people is when they are trying to teach a young person about having work ethic. Usually, they will give examples of a third person who has good work ethic but occasionally use their own experiences as examples as well. Though I have found that these people don't usually claim to have good work ethic themselves. But that they want to tech you about good work ethic and the value of having it.

Personally I have found that anyone who tends to sound like a braggart or uses buzz words like work ethic, or team leader etc. are usually using them to get noticed or get in the door. I try to listen to what everyone else says about the person and compare it to my own interactions with them.

This was a much longer post than I intended sorry guys and gals.

 

Anybody else have settlement statement issues this week?

Seems as if half my loads aren't credited for Fridays settlement.

But you can rest assured ALL the DEDUCTIONS have been deducted.

 

The good statement will be out tomorrow. Thursday. You a day early.
