I'm confused...how can a company afford to advertise like this, if its all on the up and up ??

You gave the company away when you didn't delete out side tracker camera's LOL

There is only one large company that uses these.

Husband/Wife driving partners

LOL

All I know is that I have been driving almost 2 years. About a month ago my wife had some time off so I took her out with me for 2 days.

When we got back I kicked her out and told her never again!

Schneider National

I am here, my CPU doesn't like this new forum.

If you have any questions about Schneider feel free to ask. SNI does have the Home Run Program, out 14 home 7. But it is slip seat like the other poster said. They also have a variety of PODS with different days out and home. You can basically pick what you want.

Good to see a post from ya, Jake! Do you still converse with MD64?

Schneider was a top consideration. They had my dream job...hazmat tanker team open to recent CDL grads. Problem - I live 50 miles outside the hiring area and they would make no exceptions, even though I already have all the necessary endorsements. So they offered a solo gig out of JAX, but it just didn't fit my current want list. Schneider is a definite possibility for the future, though. They have a big oil fields division in TX that may be a good fit once I get a year OTR. We'll see.

Schneider is pretty picky about their "radius" for jobs. They have intermodel positions close to me, day cabs home everyday. Have to live within 40 miles, but it is the north end of town, and I live on the south end, 52 miles away so they wouldn't take me.

They do have plenty of opportunities, I like my current gig. I only work Mon thru Fri(sometimes don't make it home till sat morning) and take weekends off. I go to the same shippers all the time and get good miles. I sometimes get home 2-3 nights a week as well. Just buying my time till a home every day slot opens LOL

Questions about sponser schools and contracts

I know Schneider has a good gig out of Florida, but they don't have company sponsored training, you have to get your CDL then they have a reimbursement program once you are hired on.

Yes, most companies like starcar said welcome husband and wife teams.

Little word of advice. Make sure you know what you are getting into teaming with your spouse.

Leaving my first company

Good luck jhill, I was ready to leave, but things worked out for me when they offered me this new regional run.

I don't see how the guys with cpaps do it....I don't have one and when I wake up in the am my dome lights won't come on my batteries are so drained just running the heater. Glad I don't sleep in my truck much anymore.
