Team Drivers Questions

I started out with Schneider.

What you've said above pretty much mirrors my experience with them -- you will get MUCH more time out with a trainer...if you go with Covenant.

Thus -- from what info you've offered so far -- Covenant would be my choice.

The hazmat loads I ran for Schneider were easy loads; and...since other drivers there didn't have hazmat--I got automatic preference over them...for those loads.

Also--it will probably be easier for you...to pick up those CDL endorsements sooner--rather than later.

Prime posts 69 reefer and 70 for tanker teams, definitely shop around. Teams are alot more valuable than solo.

 

One reefer company I worked for and I was the only driver with hazmat endorsement. Couldn't believe.
Anyway, that endorsement was the reason I was the top paid driver. I could haul refrigerated, dry, hazmat loads. That endorsement kept me moving. Specialized companies haul the hot, dangerous stuff. My hazmat loads were simple products such as cans of spray paint or maybe fingernail polish and on rare occasion a load of used car batteries that hadn't been properly drained.

 

We used to haul hazmat to get out west when we worked for Quest, who got gobbled up by kllm. The funniest one was the ingredients for Gatorade...fruit punch was flammable and citrus was corrosive. We brought produce back from the west coast.

 

what about the infrastructure bill?

 

Its the feds, so you know alot of the money goes to adding bike lanes and other foolishness instead of the actual roads and highways regular people use.

Its just like the "shovel ready jobs" were just adding un necessary signs and stuff.

 

60cpm isn't the lowest-paying option for a team? I can see why you'd choose schneider over this. Also it shouldn't take 35 days to drive 145 hours. Sounds like a red flag to me.
