You want dedicated lanes! So you know what u walking into. I hate random places! You as driver is smarter on dedicated lanes so you know ahead of time. Otr random sucks
Schneider tanker is for experience. If you can do a year there, you will be rewarded at other companies because you’re experienced and that will you paid much much higher. Gotta go what’s bet for you.
Those after hours dispatchers are garbage at Schneider. I’ve worked for them twice and I should have learned my lesson the first time. I once finished a load and I had 3 hours left on my 11 hour clock so they had me shuttle 6 trailers from a truck stop to a Schneider drop yard. I maybe drove 15 miles total. Ran out my 14 clock and spent about 5 hours for less than 20 dollars. Total joke.
That is completely understandable for leaving. When it comes to jobs, people have to have boundaries and things that are just nonnegotiable. If not employers will screw you and care about nothing regarding their employees. I’ve seen time and time again regardless of the field. This sounds like a great company for training and getting experience, but maybe not the best company for longevity. I purposely read former or current employee reviews about jobs because I like to see if there are patterns. It’s true that most people leave company reviews when they are dissatisfied however, When a lot of people have similar experiences I believe that there is validity to that. Plus at the end of the day, everyone’s experience is different and people have their own reasons for leaving a company so I say that you have to do what’s best for you and your individual situation. Great video thank you for sharing
I worked for the bulk division back in 2019. Lasted 3 months and quit. Terrible pay, terrible dispatch, terrible work and they didn’t pay extra for hazmat. I kept getting phone calls from my dispatch that I was driving to fast, which was impossible since the truck I was driving was governed at 64. They wanted me to set the cruise at 55 and bump it up to 64. NOT drive to 64 and then set the cruise. They considered that speeding. I was somewhere in Philadelphia when I called and told them I am done. Give me a load back to chicago. They tried to have me do a couple more runs but I told them on the phone I will drop this truck off at their terminal out there and rent a car to get back. They needed the truck in Indiana so they were able to get another driver to drop a load off where I was, deliver that load to chicago and drop the truck off at their terminal in Gary. They still send me info to come back but I will never work for them again.
Can you believe I don't get paid to lace up my boots?! Can you believe that with only 47min of experience I'm not making 45$ an hour?! Can you believe that a random customer had different rules and I couldn't just dump my radioactive waste in their slop sink?! What a world!!!!😅 And, on top of it all....someone somewhere told me that some company is paying 1,000$ a mile for hauling adamantium paper clips to an office on Pluto!!! It's cool, I just job hop every 4 months and I'll get there. 😅 I'm not talking against Brother Gene I'm just commenting on some drivers I've met over the years. My first trainer cursed at me, yanked the wheel out of my hands many times, called me Martinez The Hub Cap Stealin Rican and every other epithet under the sun. I put up with it and graduated and everyone looked at me like I was superman because I handled the old maniac. Some things are worth the little abuses. My parents are from Cuba...I don't care where I'm working at...I'll make it work because there are goals and there is your word and there is nothing else. Yaknow? I think of my relatives still stuck in Havana and I ask myself.....what could they do with my measly 947$ paycheck....they'd cry and not know what to do. I'm just grateful I'm here and I CAN complain. In Cuba....the government owns each cow and they all have licenses more valuable than a Cubanos life. It's only as bad as you want it to be.
Oh dude, youre in for a hard realization if thats why you quit. Live and learn, good luck tho. Glad you have support at home. Thats what really matters, not these companies and the things we deal with.
I went through the Schneider training (bulk) and It felt rushed. I was in the second class of their new training program which is a lot shorter than their old program. I finished the training, got my truck, a quit the next day. I just couldn’t sike myself up to do it because I hadn’t learned enough. Starting with truck movers tomorrow. Hopefully this will work out for me.
Yeah, my Schneider National DTL is usually pretty good with getting me home on time with the Dedicated Harley Davidson, Jet Set account in South Florida.
Good for you man , good luck wi5h your family and your Future. I am so happy not driving a truck anymore , retired am 75 yrs old drove for 49 yrs in a big truck. I did miss it fi awhile. Not anymore , my son drives a big truck now for about16 yrs. And it as not got any better. Shows you they don't care. So here is to them 🖕 with how I feel for them . I still miss my fellow truckers out there , so I have to see them in the big truck stop in the sky. God-bless you all 🇺🇸 God-bless America 🇺🇸 I am at my truck stop With my Lady taking it Easy for now . Dreaming of being on the road some were going west 🚛 🚔
I’m going to Schneider for the entry level tanker Ik tht company has a its cons but I’m going for the experience and not the pay I’m a new driver so Ik once’s I get th experience pay with be the next chases for me other then tht I’m trying to get good training.
BRO after hours was so bad at schneider I would just deadhead home on fridays and nobody even cared until Monday. Schneider has really gone downhill from what it used to be .
I drove for Schneider 19 years. It work for me. I've been driving over 34 years. I understand how they screwed you over. Just understand this. No matter where you go to drive. They will screw you over period. Enjoy your driving career.
Idk, I’m doing pretty good leased on where I’m at. Running water to 2 nuclear plants twice a week 600 mile round trip for 4k. Once you decide to stop wasting your life at a company where your sitting in rooms with guys that don’t even have there CDL’s you can get to some real paper.
@@hamoud9017 lol I’m not telling you. Took 8 hours of digging online to find the spot I’m at now. Do your own research. You think and I need everybody and there grandma coming over here lol
@@hamoud9017 I ain’t telling you lol. They having trouble finding people because they got a 60 something year old man in charge of advertising so has no idea how to advertise and I’m gonna leave it that way.
Bad dispatcher can definitely kill a vibe for a company. A driver might be content or even happy somewhere, only to have a few bad loads or interrupt at home time and that’s enough to say you know what maybe I should look for something else. I’m at home daily guy, and lately they’ve been putting me on 14 hour runs. They’re exhausting, and there’s nothing about being home daily. Often I’ll tell them I can’t make my second stop because I’m almost out of hours, only to be told who is going to do it? That’s not my problem it’s my job to be legal and be safe. But if I can’t do either, then you need to find another driver to take the second load. It’s really frustrating. And it leaves me feeling pretty guilty for not taking a load only because I didn’t have the time. Well honestly, who wants to work 14 hours a day day after day
Don't feel guilty for following the law. The dispatcher certainly doesn't feel guilty for asking you to violate the law or have reduced home time. >30 years in this myself
You know this did come in handy. I was just thinking about getting on the OTR Tanker Account. I wanted to do tankers but I did want the training from Schneider because there training is on point. But I will considering this video💯
Schneider got slapped with a 47 million dollar judgment for a reason. They suck, they treat drivers like shit and don't care. Hopefully, they keep getting fined cause they only care for their pockets and hitting them where it hurts , speaks volumes.
Osha has to revisit the beard and mask thing cus in my last job as a sprayer i wore a mask right over my beard and the seal was air tight. I do have a close trimmed beard though so idk.
Thanks for this information. Im about to start orientation with schneider tanker division out of Houston Tx. Is the money thr that they advertise you will be making? I want to purchase a truck from them and become an owner operator about six months of being a company driver. What company are you signing up with next?
lol I don’t think anybody pays lower in tanker than Schneider. In fact all the other tanker outfits hate them because Schneider is willing to run hazmat tanker freight for as low as 2 dollar a mile which no other carrier can compete with. My carrier won’t move chemicals for less than 8 dollars a mile.
Did you explain in detail exactly why you quit though, or write a resignation letter going into detail? I’m not a trucker but Iv worked for some sh*thole companies and I always let them know exactly why I quit. Companies nowadays are trash, Iv literally been told “you’re replaceable”. Anyways good for you bud hope your doing well 🤘🏻 also Texas for life bud 🤘🏻
Damn man. That "your replaceable" irks me. Last dude who told me that. I told him his cars replaceable aswell. His dodge challenger ended up in mexico. XD
Been retired 3 years now,15 spent at schnieder bulk,30 at other companies.always thought the wisker deal was a bit immature,do guys want to make a living and feed their families or are they so hung up on facial hair that they want to starve?
Om with Schneider now and I wanna quit everyday… 3 more months I’ll have 6 months experience then I’m out
He ain’t say nun about pay 😅❤
It ain’t nothing to say, lol
