Schneider - overall is it okay?
 
Hey folks, Am seriously considering Schneider out here in Los Angeles. Have 1.5 years experience in van.

Overall is it okay there? Like that it is "safe and legal" and allows pets.

Should I have a heads up about anything?

Could anyone give any tips with going with them?

Unless, of course, someone could recommend another company here in L.A. that allows pets with 1.5 years experience......

Thanks

I'm no expert, but they have been in business a very long time and in today's economy that says a lot. You can hardly go wrong with someone who knows the business like they do. You won't get rich, but you'll probably still have a job next year.

Gotta take what you can get in this market son. We'll all be in the soup line soon enough the way this is going.

I personally wouldn't pull for those guys after what they did to me at Schneider Transport. You don't know bu we were the union division of SNI until ole Al and Don Schneider got together back in the mid 80's and tried to break us up and send all the work over to you guys at National. But we fought em tooth and nail and today there's still a few Transport guys there just waiting around until they retire but at one time we were 2500 strong. I still get pension check from Schneider Transport just as regular as clockwork which I photocopy and send each and every one to Don Schneider up at Green Bay with a copy of my middle finger. :lol2::lol2:

Schneider doesn't allow any pets in their trucks.

Might check a reefer company running out of LA. I know Earl Henderson allows pets and runs a lot out to LA. They are out of Salem, IL.

I worked for SNI for 1 1/2 years but I was on a Wal Mart dedicated account in Illinois, so I can't help you too much. I didn't make anything, but I went with them when I had zero experience and they trained me. I was averaging 1300 miles a week at 31 1/2 cents a mile, but most of that I blame on the terminal manager.

Good luck with whatever you do...

Do you have copies of you middle finger already made up or do you make a new one each month? That made me laugh.
