Pros

Friendly DAY staff Good equipment Reasonable schedule (I am regional driver and am out 11 days and in for 3 off - I am almost on time coming home 90% of the time, even if I am late its its by 1 day and they let you come back 3 days later)

Cons

Slightly low pay but they are increasing it to match industry Support shift is horrible (both 2nd and 3rd), pretty much useless Cost of comfort comes before driver comfort New drivers get the cheap freight Schneider has a poor view from other companies out there. Even if you are experienced and you start backing up near another driver, they may get nervous and harass you. (I would say you should just hit their chrome polished truck anyways if they do that)

They value safety, equipment is fantastic.

The work is non-stop and "no" isn't an option.

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.
