Done With Schneider After 3 Months

Well, the topic title is a little fishing —- 🤣

I’ve put my two week notice in at Schneider not because I haven’t had a great time at Schneider - thought the account is something to be talked about but that’s another topic.

My wife and I have decided to move to the beach after talking about it for the last decade or so… Charleston, SC here we come!

Now- trucking for me somehow has gotten me hooked. When I’m home I want to be on the road and on the road - looking forward to being home. If I could convince my wife to purchase a luxury condo style sleeper and come with me - hahaha

We are not going to move till October and the only reason I’m resigning now is we have 50 years of life to transition - plus, we have two other businesses that pay the bills and everything else to transition.

Should I plan on just starting over with another mega carrier who will hire us newbies? Or just but that beautiful condo sleeper and pull freight for a mega carrier ????

What about the 'team dreams?' Is there anything on your Y/T channel about it????

I'm just like....wow~!! Best wishes with your move, tho!

What do you think your insurance rates will be with that whole 3 months experience? Not a good choice to split. Schneider has way too many choices and platforms to not have something that will work. Schneider is not the problem IMHO.

Is there nothing from Schneider in SC? You are better off keeping your momentum and staying on, at least for one whole year.

I tired of the Walmart Account. Only roads I drove were 88, 80, 94, and 74. Instead of leaving Schneider I simply transferred to the Edwardsville, IL region (St. Louis) and stayed on. Still a 5-day week, same pay. Bonus is I can park at home and not have a 2.5 hour commute twice per week.

Best wishes for whatever you decide. Good luck Rev!

Where did I say Schneider was the problem? Nothing in Charleston I’m interested to drive with at Schneider. I would say though - Schneider is only paying me $17 HR plus OT and that’s in one of the most expensive places to live in the PNW. What new drivers are paid by these mega carriers giving us a “shot” is pretty terrible. But, I get the reason.

Thanks for the input!

YouTube video coming soon!

And we are going to team drive in 2022 - just wanted to see if landing somewhere to keep the skills sharp is a realistic idea..

Thanks Dean! No, there is nothing in SC I’m interested in with Schneider.

nobody forced you to take that position though. I agree that $17 for a CDL holder is very low but I never understood why someone is willing to take a job just to complain about the pay. If someone is willing to work for that why raise the wage across the board? Surely there are ways to demonstrate you're worth more. It happened to me my first year being paid $21.90 with a union contract that got us 50 cent raises every 3 months until top pay 1 year. I kicked ass and received a text from my manager saying my hard work hasn't gone unnoticed and they bumped me to full scale 3 or 4 months early.

As far as waiting til you get moved to start driving again...terrible idea. You almost certainly have to go through training again, and may be required to do some sort of refresher. Your skills are still developing plus having left your first company after 3 months will look bad on your application.

Best of luck.

$17 an hour? Yikes, I wouldn't be interested in anything either
