Schneider LTL

My understanding is that some of the ltl stuff is old Watkins Shepherd. I know in Myrtle MS there is a terminal with openings just as you've described apparently hauling furniture and carpet on multi stop runs. I talked to a WS guy on the MEM yard maybe 8-9 months ago briefly about it. He suggested lots of mom/pop store stops with the associated possibly challenging backing. Also, you get to tailgate the load. I've visited the Myrtle yard just out of curiosity. Nothing remarkable, just a warehouse full of big boxes. Staff suggested teams might go to the far west from there at times.

 

I ran LtL with Watkins but I left in 2017. Furniture is where the money is, don’t worry about mileage worry about stops. That’s how u make ur money. Carpet doesn’t pay as much as furniture. But it’s all mom and pop stores 6-20 stops a load. I have been thinking about going back but heard Schneider turned the idle off on the trucks and not sure how I feel about that lol.
