Appreciate it!

NO, 90% leave within 90 days! Stay with your present position and try local driving school and local driving jobs that pay by the hour. Big companies will use and abuse you!

It's not a bad place to start. If you get into a good account you can actually do well. Most decent driving jobs want experienced drivers and doors usually open after 6 months. Schneider does a good job with their training. I would think long and hard before getting into trucking, it's not for everyone.

I see lots of drivers with beards so you should be fine. Some people sync their phones through the truck bluetooth and start their podcast before they drive. I believe as long as you are not touching your phone while you drive you are okay.

Thanks 👍

Yea, first time going into that candy store.

Good luck!!

Hahaha!

Glad you like it!

Thanks, will do!

It was probably me, I was up and down the 5 Fwy Tuesday to Thursday morning this week.

Thanks 👍

glad you enjoyed it!

Not sure what your situation is like right now, but my recommendation is that you get something else lined up before you do anything. Last thing you want to do is leave and not get something else in the time that you want.

100%. I started out with Schneider. I worked intermodal out of their South El Monte yard in SoCal. I stayed 6 months and GTFO. The ineptitude of their DTL’s and the amount of errors they would make with your load assignments was staggering. Getting sent to old customer addresses where the customer had relocated from years prior in some cases, being sent to pick up loads that had been picked up a week prior, and then not getting paid for your lost time. And they’d run you until almost your 14th hour. You’d think with all those hours worked be making good money, but you’d be lucky to clear over a grand after taxes most of the time. The shame is I liked the work, and the drivers there. The mechanics were cool, and the training I received was excellent, as were my trainers. They would run you though to get every bit of your 11 hours of drive time everyday. Fortunately I put myself through CDL school and wasn’t beholden to them and went to JB Hunt. I know a lot of people trash talk on JBH, and I get it, but my overall experience there has been positive. I work a local dedicated account and make 16-1800/week working 40-50 hours and have a life. If your experience there is similar, start looking at other places. Don’t leave willy nilly. Have something lined up first.

First make sure it is in your work history in compass/tools when you finish an assignment. Then make sure your pay estimator under compass/tools records the miles increased from the finished assignment. If you don't see both these things after completing your assignment message or call your DTL and let them know you think the assignment didn't close out properly and didn't show up on your pay estimator. Make sure you have the ST# handy as well as your trailer number and pickup and drop off locations. This happens far too often and if you are not pro active, you will not receive your full pay.

@@undergroundcargo9608 wow! very good stuff! Thanks for taking the time to explain that.

I currently do not have plans to move yet.

Yea, I currently do not have immediate plans to move yet.

Thanks 👍

Yes and I think so. First couple months will be bumpy no matter what. The most important thing to ask your TE is to ask them to help you get better at backing. Backing is probably the most stressful when you first start off because some of these spots are very tight.

Thanks for the input. I am on a pretty good account, so right now this seems to be my best option, remember I still have not hit my 1 year mark, let alone my 6 month mark.

This guy hates schneider pretty bad, I wonder what they did to him 🤔

@@CucamongaRob I mean Schneider is a good starter company. You’re not gonna find anything better for at least a year. Even then, with how bad the freight market is maybe two years.

Schneider be paying top dollar

@DonnyTruckingD You run for Schneider?

@@DarrkMane yes and I was joking about them paying top dollar hahah

@@DonnyTruckingD I know. I ran a load to Memphis JB Hunt yard, a Schneider chick pulled up to drop a load. I asked how much CPM she ran for. She said .38 cents per mile ... my jaw dropped. 😮 😲 😯

@@DarrkMane yupp, we gotta start somewhere sucks
