Student Here Knight, Roehl, Schneider, Which One Is The Best

What was the sour taste about? What happen? I personally wouldnt like that much home time.

 

My cousin drives for Conway TL. If I was going to pull a van I would definitely consider them. I pull flats for Roehl.

Not true at Knight, you must quit and reapply if you want to switch from dry to reefer or vice versa.

 

Not sure as my cousin likes to stay out 6-7 weeks at a stretch.

Knights doing you a favor by not returning your calls. You don't want anything to do with them. This will become more obvious if you spend a few minutes toodling around their forum here. I spent four years at Schneider and they did me just fine. Lots has changed with them over the years but I was home every other weekend for 3 days and I don't recall a single time in those years I was ever late in getting home. The miles were there for the 10 or 11 days I was out also. Used to be able to stick around the orange as long as you wanted but over the years their "training school" as been taken to the next level. Do your time and move on to a real company. Good luck in the job search.

 

7/7 at roehl, or any company really, would be ok if you have someone with a 2nd income. You're only gonna have the potential to make any money 14days a month. According to their website, for the 7/7 you'd have to run about 3000 miles each week that you work to hit what they say is the bottom of the range they list for that schedule. 78,000-81,000 miles. $31-35,000/year. Also means you share the truck so you have to pack and unpack all your crap every time you go out/go home.

But as I understand it, you'd be making about that much being out 2-3 weeks at a time, if not longer. Might not be such a bad trade-off after all.

 

The postings that list radiuses of certain cities usually refer to a dedicated account. They have a drop yard located in Baldwin. The OC's have weight rooms in them. The OC's are pretty nice. Clean showers, ample parking and the 24/7 maintenance is nice. Whenever I would need a PM or service on my truck I would write it up in Dallas and go home or if I was on the road I would write it up late in the afternoon and go get a room. They would usually have it done overnight.
