My Awful Experience With Schneider National As Rookie.

, they kept refusing repairs, and as far as me being the ******* for driving illegal, **** you, they didn't do their job,

Wow, Jessie G, did you really just tell someone that commented "Eff you"? You're a real piece of work aren't you.

Makes you wonder how the conversations with dispatch really went.

I'm not upset about Schneider not working out, that stuff happens, I'm actually shocked at so many drivers kissing ass, I was raised every person pits their pants on the same way, one leg at a time, just seems none of your bosses ever zip up their pants after put on theirs.

Jesse you seem really upset that you didn’t have any success at Schneider. Nothing wrong with that. They weren’t a good fit for you. But don’t try and make up some story about Schneider making you run a truck that’s not legal. It’s nonsense. I ran for the Dollar Tree account and talked to other drivers on a weekly basis. There were complaints that went around but none were ever about Schneider running faulty equipment. Ever.

So earlier it was my fault, then it was my fault again even after Schneider cleared the truck when it shouldn't have been? Do you people ever hold the right ones accountable or take the **** rolls down hill speech as law.

So you knowingly put yourself and the motoring public at risk because driving a truck that according to you is unsafe? All to make a bucks? Not very "professional"

Somehow China is involved?? If you rambled like this to your DM it is no wonder they let you go.

I smell some conspiracy theories brewing.

The stories not made up, and they did, bad shocks, broken fuel gauge, bad steering and tie rods amount other things. I don't talk bad about company policies every company does things different, but maintenance since I have a background in engineering and mechanics, I will tear a company apart over it because it's a safety issue that will get people killed. And when the maintenance staff even tells me at the facility the parts are borderline out of spec and Schneider doesn't want them replaced, then there's issues.

I think most of you are misunderstanding something about me defending him. I'm not saying Schneider is a horrible company, like I said before my great great family member worked for them when it started and loved them. Their orientation was like a little cdl refresher course with added info and training, but the reality is the company has turned to drivers being numbers and in that system people do fall through the cracks. And if right they did what most defense companies during war expanding past regular operational capacities and now some drivers will always suffer, may be at the hands of the masses, corporate structure, etc there will always be a defining line that gets drawn, and in this case it seems to be Natives of America, which would have old man Schneider rolling over in his grave to jump up and slap the **** out of people.

Folks this is a great example of several different issues. Lets not get into personal attacks please.

As has been said every company is different. Along with that every terminal within a company is different. Explains why people can and will have different experiences.

A truck with 400k on it is new in my opinion. My Pete just turned 800k. Drives better than some new ones I’ve driven. Reason is I take very good care of it and am the 3rd owner of it.

My volvo has 560k on it. I’m the 2nd owner of it. Same scenario.

The mega carriers pass trucks around all the time. Many inexperienced drivers. Causes premature problems.

The OP should in my opinion ask to get transferred to another terminal if possible before throwing the towel in. Also needs to concentrate of learning and refinning skills to be the best they can be. Too many new drivers have an over inflated opinion of their worth to a company. A good attitude and competency goes along way to getting what you want.

My experience with Schneider wasn't always easy going, but it went pretty smoothly for the year I stayed there. My biggest problem was they never got me home for my home time on time, every besides one time. I was always 2-3 days late, because they wouldn't start sending me towards the house until the last minute although I gave them a 2-3 week notice as required. The other problem was, I was never preplanned, I would show up for my delivery, finish up and sometimes wait 1-5 hours for a new preplan, where a hand full of times, was late being picked up, because I was dispatched late. My PTAs were always pretty much on point, I was ready when I said I would be ready. So trip planning and keeping dispatch updated was not the problem with delayed preplans. Other then that, it wasn't that bad.

I'm guessing from all that I've read..........

1st, the "Holier than thou, I know more than your tech's attitude"and bad communications with whomever, was 1 reason for termination.

2nd

Failure to obey a road sign is what got fired right after I was arguing with the load dispatcher

running a stop sign ??, was the final "nail in the coffin" for termination. They (Schneider) got their fast way out of all the future headaches.

As far as tie rods go, they are either good or bad, there is no in-between, and not that expensive either. Now if the drag link, was bent/sloppy/loose, that would cause a steering issue, rust means nothing except for lack of grease on the tie rod ends.

grrrrrr again bad quote.....Never had this problem before haha
