Last Day

Well, yesterday was my last day at Schneider. It's been a very interesting year to say the least. I have to say they were incredible at my departure. Very supportive, offered to have me come back any time, and I even got to drive my truck one more time. 😊 I couldn't believe how badly they wanted me to stay, they basically offered me any account I wanted, told me they'd switch my leader if that was the issue, but after I explained how it was the whole being away from home, not showering every day, (which was starting to give me skin rashes), and suddenly developing kidney stones, which is what sent me over the top, they were very understanding. They also told me that when I move, if I'm near a Schneider facility that has home daily accounts, I'd be able to come back if I wanted. Can't say enough about how helpful they've been getting started, and teaching me over the past year. They really bent over backwards for me.

Awesome. It is wise to never burn a bridge.

You could have stayed and taken one of those local Dollar accounts, lol.

They don't have any local accounts in my area. Not sure who services my local stores. Only truck I've seen at one was a Werner, so that's probably who does it.

I hear that the Dollar accounts are all touch freight, unloading box by box using rollers and roller carts. Maybe good for young bucks.

Yeah, it's not an account I'd be interested in!😂

That's cool they were trying to keep you. Must mean they really appreciated you and that you were a good driver. Sorry to hear about your health issues. Are you looking into other trucking jobs right now or just taking it easy for a bit?

It’s a great feeling to know you did your job well. The fact they wanted you to stay and said you can come back, speaks volumes about your work ethic. Well done, Sir. You should be proud.

Did you have another job lined up before quitting. Why couldn't you shower every day? If you were drinking lots of soft drinks that could lead to the kidney stones. All I drink is water and p alot. Good luck.

Here's a link to the conversation where he told us about his new job offer. He got a job in the transportation business, but it's more of an office/administrative function. He will be managing dispatchers/logistics.
