    Does Schneider have enough divers with 3+ years of experience to cover walmart?

    If they do can Schneider get those drivers where they need to be on time? I'm thinking not. They can't even get organized enough to keep their drivers moving on the weekend.

    SNI does not require 3yrs to work Walmart account. Have one friend who left there a couple of months ago, and one that is still there. Both on the Walmart fleet, neither has 3 yrs.

    More truck stop tales. Which is why I avoid them. Everytime you walk in a truck stop you are guaranteed to hear....

    I heard... "this mega carrier bought this mega carrier", "this mega went under" "this company requires the funky chicken dance at orientation "

    And my favorite " I hauled nukes for the government and had a military escort with jets and choppers from LA to new York. We blew past all weigh stations Cus I have a special permit from the government. Some old lady got in our way and the jets blew her apart. Did I mention my truck does 110mph and we made it non stop in 3 hours. Oh not to mention I got paid 7 million dollars a mile. Now I have special security clearance "

    there are plenty of trucks that will run 110 mph PLUS out here.never be fooled by how the truck looks as we all don't have chromed out,twin stacked,twin breathers extended hood petes that will only top out at 63 mph.
    there are loads that do have the clout and permission/permits to keep it moving right on past the coops all while being led by and followed by mean looking/dark tint window suburbans(among other specialty vehicles) that have strange looking antennas on them.those same loads generally don't stop until they get the load there and while being loaded or unloaded the driver is escorted away from the truck.
    There are also plenty of special security clearance drivers out here. consider the munition and/or government contract haulers as an example.

    I drive OTR for Schneider and never have to sit on the weekends. If I am slotted to run I have a load waiting.
