Schneider Payroll Question(Company Driver)

Yea..... probably not my best moment. Didn't hear anything about it though.

 

I've always wondered, what happens now for you? I'm going you didn't explode. I treat my clock like a time bomb lol. But in all seriousness, what does happen?

 

It's treated pretty similar to a critical event. Your dbl will talk to you about what happened. As long as it's not a regular occurrence, that's usually the end of it.

 

If your critical events are the "following distance" ones, the only way you'll get talked to about it is if you bring it up. If you do however, expect a full lecture about it. The kind of lecture only someone that's never driven a truck for a day in their life can deliver.

 

I can deliver that lecture to the point you'll be in tears begging forgiveness from Grimace, Grover, and Sheela Na Gis.

You'll be so moved that you'll donate 1/10 of your earnings to developing more safety technology.

 

But can you make a driver think like a DBL.

 

I very recently tried talking my way into a truck with a camera in it. Didn't work. But that chrome they put on the 680 while not buying any cabinet doors was too tempting. Then as soon as I got out of the lot, within 5 minutes I had that event pop up. A bit of an epiphany popped in my brain.

And whatever. There's following too closely and there's being less than 2 seconds behind a truck on an upgrade while super heavy for longer than a minute. Yeah. Let's go ahead and get off the pedal and stop on that hill. No traffic around anyone and when I'm pulling it at 34 and he's going 33 100ft in front of me and onguard is going mental.....

 

Yup, and give me a case of beer and I can just barely make a driver think like a CSR. Give me a case of beer and a bottle of Jack Daniels and I can make a driver Think like Chris Loftgren
