Schneider IC Mandatory OnGaurd system

So I was informed on Friday that letters have gone out. If you do a truck swap or bring a new truck on with Schneider Choice, you are required to have Ongaurd, Bendex or one other ( not Wingman ) cant remember the name. You are required to have it installed at your expense. Further more all trucks that are currently under contract will be required to have one of these accident mitigation systems installed at their expense, by no later than July 31, 2018 or their contract will not be renewed with Schneider. Lets hear your thoughts on this. Mine are this is not a good thing. Wingman which comes in a lot of Kenworths and Peterbilts is not on the list. The only reason that I am thinking it is not acceptable is because it does not communicate with the Qualcomm. Seems like being an IC with Choice is turning into No Choice.

 

I think they are trying to squeeze out people so they can have more company go to ic under sfi lease. I would not be surprised if the next one down the pipeline is governing speed on all ic's

 

They have started putting ongaurd on all company kenworth so will prob expect people with wingman to come out of pocket and switch it to ongaurd
