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

Decent Trucks and driver service phone number for immediate assistance with any issue

Cons

Drive and work unloading truck 13.5 hours in one day (and it was on an e-log). and get your pay for 108.00 and paystub that says 9.5 hours and confusing explanations on bobtail miles and loaded miles Doesn't matter if your getting paid hourly or by miles-if you work 13.5 hours for 108.00 that means you are working for $8.00 an hour in a state where MINIMUM WAGE is $ 9.47 an hour.

Pros

-Training class forces you to get closer with other sellers. -Culture thickened my skin and helped me outperform at my next company.

Cons

*Please note I quit on my own accord and put in my 2weeks notice. Within hours I was told “we can’t do the 2 week thing” told to leave effective immediately and was not paid out for the 2 weeks. -Call Center Environment. -85 cold calls & 2hrs of talk time daily are the minimum expectations. -You will not be selling Schneider Orange trucks, you will work for Schneider STM a 3PL division that pairs up literally any truck driver they can find. -Outdated & cluttered Oracle CRM. -No work life balance. Average day is 6:30am-6pm Although they claim it’s 7am-4pm. Expect to spend your nights and weekends prospecting. -Minimum commission threshold & $300 desk fee taken from your commissions. -3 weeks of training with also counts as month 1 of ramp up. -Cut Throat atmosphere. Managers will literally carry around a boat oar and smack on the ground and/or yell if your not making calls. -Wolf of Wall Street atmosphere. Drugs/prework out encouraged to increase your call volume. Do-workers frequently hook up & date. -Force you to stand for hours at a time until you sell something, and will not let you leave for the day/week if you have not sold something. -Will put you on a PIP after 1 month, and fire you after 3months of missing quota. -You self generate everything single lead. -No company ethics what so ever. -Service has no competitive advantage that prospects care about.
