    Schneider does not have driver facing cameras contrary to what anybody on here or out here in this industry says they do not and will not have driver facing cameras only forward facing

    So you going to take your information from a so-called drivers out here about the cameras?... I don't know how long you been in this business but if you've been in this business for any length of time you would know not to believe half the drivers out here right gee I hope so... Their legal department will not allow Schneider to put driver facing cameras in the truck for the simple reason it's too much liability

    Not to worry. Schneider has no problem running established businesses into the ground and then selling them to another company. If you're lucky, Schneider will tire of the furniture biz and sell you back to a company who cares before you grow weary and leave.

    Schneider may learn that the furniture industry is just a little bit different than normal everyday freight lol.
    All joking aside it is unique. I'm not ready to jump ship just yet, because I grew up being taught to take a man for his word. And they said we would operate as normal. So if normal starts to change to much it will be time to go to one of the many other furniture companies around the house. And some of them are even still on paper logs lol.
    I can deal with change. The cell phone deal I don't like it all, I won't worry about it till someone tells me it's changing. The camera thing long as it ain't looking at me idc. The speed well I can deal with it but won't like it lol. My money and home time changing is when there is gonna be a problem ha

    Not all Schneider trucks are governed at 60. Dedicated and team trucks vary, depending on the account. I ran Home Depot dedicated, our truck was governed at 67. Slowest on the road? Guess you've never seen an England truck, huh?

    Oh yeah England may be just as slow if not slower than Schneider. It will all work out in the wash I guess.
    I read over on the Schneider boards guys boasting about more loads and this and that. But we are told we won't haul Schneider and Schneider won't haul our stuff. We also told our trailers and trucks will remain the same as far as logo on the side. New ordered trucks as well. As of now operation as normal seems like to me. Can't tell a difference yet. Guess we will have to see what happens from here. Hold on boys lol
