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.

Pros

Basically set your own start time as long as you get to where you need to be within the window you can start whenever you want.

Cons

Maintenance issues and dispatch when you are regional and given local assignments and local pay. One of my routes did not have the mileage properly synced on the tablet and so you have to call in to get a nearby scale added to your trip just so you get the miles you should have got. If you know this in advance you can send a message in early so by the time you get to where you are going its added (if cs understands your need)

Thanks for the review. Safety First is one of our core values and we're glad you value our commitment to it. We have made big updates to pay in the past couple years and we will evaluate driver pay on a weekly basis to make sure we're competitive in the market. Drive safe out there.
