Old School, I tried to quote your post, but it left me with too many characters. So I’ll just say, that was a Hall of Fame reply. There are so many lessons in that response. Every disgruntled driver that wants to leave their company should be handed those words to digest.

Nope. Solo. And I keep my hands to myself so they call me Hands Solo.

This made me laugh out loud!

Good grief! Could there be a more cheerfully morbid song?

Congratulations on and good luck with your new job, MM. I second PJ’s advice… be mindful of the pressure inside your tank. Air pressure not properly bled off thru bleeder valves has caused more harm/injury than the commodities we carry.

Happy to hear you made it to the one-year mark on that count. Congratulations for that! I wonder what the attrition rate is on the DG account… from what I read it’s pretty brutal. Anyways, keep up the good work!

What Rob said. Why on God’s green earth would you come on here and ask such a Schneider-specific question on a forum full of non-Schneider drivers? Contact your DBL about this, and if he/she is no help, dial the 800 number and ask someone in payroll.

If there was someone else in my truck, I would hope that person had a CDL-A so if I got tired, they could drive. But with my luck, it would probably just be my ex wife.

There’s a rest area on I-65 south, first one after you enter Alabama, where I can easily see this scenario playing out. It’s very poorly designed. The first row of trucks have an easy in/out. But the second row, it’s a mishamash of trucks parking on the bumpers of the first row, or further back in the ‘official’ lined spots… which is where I parked several nights ago, along with several other trucks on either side of me. Sadly, the driver on my right decided he wanted to leave, at 3 o’clock in the morning. Of course the truck in front of him, in the first row, hadn’t left yet, and there wasn’t enough room to pull forward and turn left to exit. So backing up was his only option, except that my trailer was preventing him from swinging his cab around to reverse. So I got a knock on my door at 3 AM. It totally sucked getting woken up at that hour, but it never occurred to me to not help him out and pull forward to the bumper of the truck in front of me, to let him out. It’s just so easy to do the right thing; like tapping your brakes to let someone in, or waiting an extra five seconds to enter the passing lane when you’re not holding anyone up, rather than cutting someone off.
