Schneider regional

Regional is good because you'll stay in the same part of the country but bad because you probably won't make as much compared to otr.

I do regional and if I want to work a different part of the country I just take hometime there and until my next hometime that is where I'll be.

 

I have similar question myself about OTR versus regional as a rookie. I am too about to start TDI here next week. Is it better to start with the OTR experience before going regional? Is it better to have the 48 states and all weather driving experience?

 

OTR with schneider doesn't really mean you'll be driving all 48. At all. I've been driving OTR since April and right now I'm in Texas for the second time ever. I've gone as far west as Dallas/OKC/Omaha/Minneapolis. And just about everywhere else east of there. Except Louisiana and Vermont. Don't know what it is with those two, but I don't go there or through there.

 

The trucks? They go forward when you push a button and backward too. Turn a thing and the truck goes left and right.

But for real. They're all over the place. Mine is fairly nice but doesn't have all the bells and whistles.

Here's what I've seen: a bunch of cascadias. Some t680's. very few anything else. Few trucks have Parksmart units. No trucks have apu. Some trucks have inverters. Most don't. But mostly they tend to go forward without major issues.

 

The top on my list at this moment is Trimac. It seems the equipment is similar.
