Working for Schneider while in the National Guard

Also, with the draw down over here. They are talking about making Annual Training 4 to 7 weeks. We should have most of our combat troops out , starting 2014. This is one of the reason they are extending AT. I know some companies want let you take a truck home for that period of time.

 

no you have to turn in truck and get a new one once you come back no company will allow you to keep a truck not moving for such a long time

 

ok...........

 

I'm in the same situation. I work locally for fedex freight. I can't stand all the pressure they put on you. So i'm looking into schneider regional. I hope my choice is a good one. It can't be any worse than being in Iraq, driving down msr Tampa.

 

Or route Jackson or Irish....

 

They mostly get me home for my drills but more often at the last minute. So I end up with only 4 hours of sleep before I have to start drill. You might want to start on one of their dedicated accounts or local to get yourself more home time. If you are in the reserves most trucking companies will right out tell you that you will miss some of your drills. You will have to work something out with your unit.

 

New jersey national guard doesn't take any excuses my battalion commander is the biggest s.o.b out there, there's about 20 truck drivers in the battalion and he will call every company we work for and remind them that they need to get us to drill or pay the fine.... I was flown from Chicago once to make it to drill because my fleet manager was on vacation and his replacement didn't know left from right
