Killie...... every question you probably have has probably already been answered...... you just need to get yourself a pitcher of ice tea, some snacks, a comfortable chair and then start reading..... I promise you will be amazed at how much you learn about not only the company you are researching but trucking in general. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_255.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_255:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The best place for you to start your research is over in these three areas:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/discuss-your-favorite-trucking-company-here/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/discuss-your-favorite-trucking-company-here/">http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/discuss-your-favorite-trucking-company-here/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/motor-carrier-questions-the-inside-scoop/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/motor-carrier-questions-the-inside-scoop/">http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/motor-carrier-questions-the-inside-scoop/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/trucking-company-dac-reports/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/trucking-company-dac-reports/">http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/trucking-company-dac-reports/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And a quick search using the &quot;Search&quot; button above revealed that this particular thread has a poster who drives for SNI talking about inverters and what SNI allows:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/discuss-your-favorite-trucking-company-here/30424-schneider-national-4.html" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/discuss-your-favorite-trucking-company-here/30424-schneider-national-4.html">http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/discuss-your-favorite-trucking-company-here/30424-schneider-national-4.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now.......... once you have just about gone blind from all your reading there....... IMHO you need to go to the area below and also do searches on the negative aspects of any company you find interesting ........ </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are a lot of posters here who get annoyed and whine about all the negativity that goes on around here....... drivers complain, put down companies and detail stories of how they were mistreated............. <i>(yep... they get in trouble for...um....... venting)</i><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_2551.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_2551:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>However, I PERSONALLY WANT TO READ THAT INFORMATION!

I don&#039;t get it........... I want to drive a truck....... I don&#039;t exactly need someone to &quot;warn&quot; me about GOOD things about a company <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25520.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25520:" unselectable="on" /> ...... it&#039;s not like I really need to mentally prepare myself because some company might give me a Christmas bonus or an extra day off (paid) every so many miles .......... ya think? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25512.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25512:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>But I do want to know about BAD things that the company does on a regular basis........ doesn&#039;t mean i won&#039;t chose them, it just means I want to know the worst case scenerio of what I am going to be dealing with...... for example..... if I only want to drive out west (because I consider anything below 65 to be freezing) and a company is <b>notorious </b>for hiring drivers and telling them that they will be in the west......... but every driver for their company knows that the poor newbie puke won&#039;t see west of the mississippi for the first 6 months........ I WANT TO KNOW THIS........ then, I can be mentally prepared if I decide that I still want to go with that company..... (and I will have brought the appropriate clothing to keep my tushy from freezing........... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25525.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25525:" unselectable="on" />)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So you have your links above to get started....... and for the record you will find that Schneider will come out on top for large carriers....... the issue with them will be if </p><p>YOU meet THEIR requirements........ they have been known to be selective (picky).........</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>GOOD LUCK............... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/yes2557.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":yes2557:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Time to start your homework.........<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_2559.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_2559:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
