Pros

Hometime is limited but they respect time at home and get you home when you're scheduled. Training program is comprehensive and not rushed.

Cons

Six days a month hometime. Sitting and waiting for loads. Incomplete customer profiles lead to service failures. 60 mph rule and a 62 mph truck. Crafty way to not pay the bonus. Day long waits to get into the shop.

Pros

Dedicated local account, driver leaders are nice, equipment is decent.

Cons

$12/hr on duty, not driving pay. That’s ridiculous and includes everything except driving. Work can be inconsistent at times, hours can be long, no holiday or mileage bonus pay for a long time after hire, benefits are expensive. Schneider won’t allow drivers to use Bluetooth or any other hands-free device, INCLUDING HEARING AIDS, to receive calls while driving. This makes having a life outside of work and scheduling appointments almost impossible.
