Schneider or Swift???
I am having trouble on decided between scheneider and swift. I have my class a cdl, no school, no experience just took the test. Schneider wants to send me through school and have me sign a contract, they pay 2 more cents per mile to start. Their training with TE is 4 weeks where swift's is not, swift on the other hand is not going to force me into truck driving school, no contract and NO HAZMAT. I do not want to haul hazmat and do not have hazmat endorsement. Schneieder wants hazmat although only 2% of their freight is haz. Also in the pot is schneider will not let me bank time off for example swift will let me run 4 weeks and then take 4 days off. I would prefer to run a month then have 4 days off. I have read every story about both companies i can find. I have come to the conculsion a lot of problems drivers are complaining about are because they didnt like their dispatcher. I am sure there are other problems too but most seem to be with dispatchers, and i have heard the stories from both. I have talked to drivers of both companies personally and have been recommended both. I do not have an attidute problem, I just want to make money. That is my goal. Any additional help or information would be greatly appreciated. You may also email me at behrensii@aol.com
