Brother if you ever worked at a distribution center you would know that there are many slow and lazy lift truck operator that gets away with doing nothing and their managers can't do nothing about it like they used to back in the day. I know this because I've been an LTO for almost 20 years and can't wait to get out of it.
I am enjoying your videos! I just obtained my CDL Class A license a few months ago and I am considering applying to Schneider but I am wondering about a couple of things. The first one, if I have a beard am I required to shave it? The second is, do they allow you to listen to podcasts or radio stations from your cell phone bluetoothed to your radio or earphones while driving? I know some companies don't allow you to even touch your cell phone when driving. The other thing I am concerned about is if you are penalized for something out of your control.. Like the times you mention being held at a center for 5 hours because they are low on fork-lift drivers, etc. I don't want any marks against me for something I can't control. I'm also kind of where you are when you started driving for Schneider as I also create 3D animations and I'm currently working on a virtual reality experience regarding the pre-trip inspection =)
I see lots of drivers with beards so you should be fine. Some people sync their phones through the truck bluetooth and start their podcast before they drive. I believe as long as you are not touching your phone while you drive you are okay.
Great insights into truck driving life

I noticed their site says a regional driver has home time every 3 weeks but as a regional driver, how often do you actually make it back home?
The account I am on allows me to go home every weekend.
