Schneider, why first yearers quit

[@aircooledhead]

Just getting my CDL, so I been watching these trucking vids for a couple weeks. Learned more from this one than most of the others combined. THANKS! And I agree; starting the day with a good poop is a good thing.
Stay, up brother!

[@Thasgonna]

I started at Schneider as OTR as my first job with a fresh CDL. I found out fast it wasn't for me so I was only there for 2 months. I found a flatbed job that I really liked where I was home 2-3 nights a week but the guy I was working for ended up selling that truck. fortunately, the job I have now is a dedicated Target account that pays .48 cpm starting out with 400-550 miles per day and I'm home every night (day cab)... January 3rd will be 1 year that ive had my CDL.. it's been a good year =)

[@animelife2136]

Spooby Schneider has a sign on contract? You can break that without repercussions?

[@Thasgonna]

nah i didnt have a contract with Schneider I had my CDL already when I went there. most companies only make you sign a contract if they put you through school to get your CDL and I don't think Schneider even does that.

[@animelife2136]

I have my CDL's but no experience but when I look on their website I see "sign on bonus". I should talk to a recruiter but I know they'll tell me anything.

[@Thasgonna]

those sign on bonuses are paid to you over time. there's no contract.. the longer you stay the more of the bonus you get is all

[@tylerclover2538]

Anime Life U only get thw bonus if u have experience

[@bradshores9617]

You missed your calling, stand up comedy is for you

[@Lissanicole444]

Thank you!!! Be safe!!!

[@markmcallister7076]

You are a straight shooter. But the truth is the trucking industry is a total scam period. 70 hrs week w zero overtime. Minimum wage and sleep at work for weeks or even months

[@randy3588]

The problem I have with this video is that a normal average day person has to say it and not the companies that know their post false advertising..and at best deceptive.... there's a reason these companies are not posting what their average new driver makes....

[@terrywaters6186]

Making about half what I expected so far. If it doesn't get better I'll be looking at other options. I'm trying to stick it out for now because I learns something new every day and backing skills are improving and that's the most stressful thing for me right now. I'm driving regional and like you say, every stop is unique and some of them are a real challenge. OTR appeals to me because I'd like to get up and just drive all day and not deal with all the other crap that feels like wasted time.

[@michaelsanchez8519]

I am lucky to have landed a local gig straight out of driving school. I don't think I could handle OTR. I'm 2 days in and I'm already having doubts, hahaha. Gotta develop that trucker butt.. keep up the good work bud.

[@alexjones28]

How your career going?

[@FurthermoreJack]

Older, no kids = happier trucker

[@tylerclover2538]

I'm regional with schneider, I get home Friday evening, back out Monday morning.

[@verbvideo]

tyler clover what area?

[@tylerclover2538]

verbvideo I'm out of Charlotte. They won't send me more than 750 miles away from there

[@bperez199]

tyler clover how much you make a week?

[@tylerclover2538]

bryan perez I'm an owner op now, but as regional for a good week 700 to 800 if u run hard.

[@suavekw1]

@@tylerclover2538 lmao is that it and if you run hard hell nah I need more dedicated gets me 1100 weekly all I do is unload hard

[@khwoods01]

I think I am at a point in my life where OTR might be the best. Kids are out on there own Wife will be living near the grand kid so I think it is something that I can do!.

[@apocyldoomer]

Even as a local LTL Driver, home every night, you miss out on a lot of things, you work long hours most of the time, until the slow season comes along, especially in the summer..

[@ywevis1]

Dollar general is all blind side backing lol 3-4 stores a day

[@percyastronautstatus.8780]

there ARE companies paying 40 to 50 cpm after 6 months experience u know

[@Michael-ft3rc]

I've watched enough of your videos to realize truckers are starving to death. .40 cents a mile is nothing! Good luck and be safe out there!

[@jeffb4881]

Good tips. You might have only had a rabbit turd and the person before you didn't flush!

[@jeffhudson670]

Love the Poop story! Been there, done that! Love your vids bro.

[@jackt.vaughn3910]

Granny used to say " Here I sit all broken hearted. Paid a nickel to shit and only farted"

[@royfazenbaker3139]

I was in the Bedford PA distribution center today. The people seem decent. It's a Wal-Mart load so I hope It's all good.

[@Percyrecommends]

All facts. With Schneider doing jetset because I’m from Miami and they don’t have any dedicated routes close to home.

[@ericarichelle6170]

Tota Smitty hi there! Do you like jet set position?

[@silverblack891]

I thinking of driving for the company, I was pitched the dedicated route( Dicks sporting goods)
.30 MPC. $13.00hr Not Driving Time. New Driver. Is that a bad deal.

[@francorama]

you are talking bout them ltl carrier gigs. if you have to work for somebody. thats the way to go. cause they pay pretty damn good. your dhe, conway, yrc, abh, saia, estes, and old dominion and so on.

[@cjhudson8400]

Jay thank u for your full honesty looking at trucking was kinda thinking starting otr but now u got me checking all options I believe there is a schedinder Walmart account bout an hour from me any chance u could get info on that account or send me a website I'd greatly thank u sir

[@truckerjaybird8324]

CJ Hudson i believe its out of Bedford, i know its mostly night driving. Check out " Schneider jobs" should be info there

[@tomfoolery8640]

I'd agree about the regional and not getting home to see the kids and missing out on the growing up part BUT... lol. The school year has started and my girlfriends kids are back and annoying as ever so it's time for me to hit the road. Go intermodal 3am Monday and return sometime Friday and get home just after the kids get picked up by there dad. ( who by the way is a total drunk.) Lol. I'll hang with my bitch over the weekend and only see the brats briefly. A win win.

[@apocyldoomer]

Tom Foolery Damn man that sounds like you have a miserable life, wow.

[@animelife2136]

Schneider has a 2 week out and 1 week home. What do you know about that? Would it be 7 days home or 5? I think it would be good for a new driver like myself

[@truckerjaybird8324]

Anime Life i dont know much about thar program, but yes, i do believe they have somthing like that

[@jbrad5637]

you will not make money doing that from personal exp

[@sharontuggle843]

Millis Transfer pays .41cpm to students that finish their program.

[@leesantos9711]

Most people think trucking is easy money !

[@jeffwalker1329]

That's good advice. To piggy back....And then you wonder is having a million mile award or worse two million mile award really worth the pain, sacrifice, loss of life, diabetes, and fat belly really, really worth it? Is it really worth it? Get out there make your money as quick as humanly possible and invest wisely. Get the hell out before you die of fat gut and diabetes. There is no good food OTR. Every restaurant is trying to kill you with shit food. This man probably ate the steak and eggs for a week and couldn't poop, until finally, it come through. I suppose I could go on. Driving is fun though. It gets a little better once you figure out how to take care of yourself. But it is easy to get in the bad routines and sometimes because of time, you have to skip eating or taking shower.
People don't realize what we go through. Its harder than it looks.

[@jovanottic53]

Lol...did ya shit a coke can?

[@JayHesley]

You had me rolling about the pooping. But your right.

[@josephball5487]

Hey TJ I just got my Cdl permit and will be enrolling at Roadmaster in Columbus Ohio in 2018 could I get on with Schneider right out oftrucking school & on a dedicated account lowes,target,Wal-Mart

[@timothywhalen9352]

Hillarious!!!!

[@chilly6883]

Kids are older and i have an ex wife and didnt get married. Otr is for me

[@RbodynNutrition]

Lol u made this on my birthday and I just had a burrito lol

[@yoitsmb2]

Man the trucks only go 62mph they don’t go 65 that’s a luxury but they offering me 0.38 so let’s see how it goes...home daily your back for like 10 hours lmao it’s not that great overly hyped. I’m OTR

[@angrywhitemale6653]

@ the 6:00 mark or so: as you list the hardships of OTR, do not forget about the EATS! One cannot just whip up a salad and a plate of spaghetti with Italian Bread and a glass of wine at the end of the day-at least not inexpensively. How about roasting a brisket? BBQ ribs?
I hate where I live (Chicago area) in more ways than I can list-but one thing I love about this area is the food establishments. Also, part of the lifestyle of OTR is that the truck stops sell that juice, that soda, that candy, at almost double of what a grocery store does. This burns through the $800.00 very quickly; no "per diem" for a truck driver's travel.
@ 7:00 mark or so: It is non-negotiable-I either get at least 48 consecutive hours off during the seven-day week or I find another company. It takes me 12 of the 48 hours just to get good rest on a real mattress with real HVAC.
Heh-I read the recruitment cards on the shelves in the truck stop: "Nine days out, two days off" and the like. This is basically working six days out of seven! I would go out of my mind if I had to stay in a sleeper berth 34 consecutive hours and not making any money; can't do it especially with the minimal Ben Franklins I make each week. The only way I could live in a tractor is if I were homeless or if I were clearing 18 Ben Franks per week.

[@Maoud2]

Angry White Male, BINGO!!! You hit the nail on the head young man. This job is definitely starting to feel like its just a last ditch effort for people attempting to have a place to live rather than be homeless.

[@AVGVSTVS219]

I've been driving for 7 months and make 50 cents per mile and always get 2500 to 3500 miles every week. Not with Schneider of course.

[@unapprovedtruth7116]

[@ryansturm5959]
