Pros

Hire new drivers. Great training. CPM is decent. Big company with lots of terminals. Fuel card. Direct Deposit. Weekly pay. Passengers allowed after 6 months of safe driving. Company car to use when at a terminal (one hour max).

Cons

Inconsistent miles. Dispatch doesn't care about drivers. Treat drivers like they have no brains & that they're less than human. Dispatch is impossible to get a hold of because they have too many drivers on their board & quit due to the stress. Takes over 30 minutes to contact dispatch by phone (if you're lucky). They never respond to Qualcomm messages unless its about being late to a customer. Dirty trucks that constantly break down. They only do repairs if they have to not when they need to. Comfort of drivers comes last, squeezing every penny from them comes first. No APU. No inverters. No pets of any kind allowed. Sit for days waiting for an assignment because there are so many other drivers waiting too. Company drivers are last to get work and usually get jobs nobody wants. No minimum paychecks. If you're broke down & near home, they rather send you home with no pay instead of putting you in a hotel & paying breakdown pay. If you're broke down near a terminal, they will put you in an empty truck to sleep in instead of spending the money on a hotel.

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.
