I remember as kid on vacation on interstate Schneider. Warner. Jb hunt were main truckers bring back awsom memory of the 80s
I drove for Schneider in 1989. Base pay was .21cpm. This was right before Qualcomm dispatching. Yep, us drivers had to call in every morning from a payphone. I could cover 10,000 miles in 21 days at 55mph. .lol
At the time, it wasn't too bad for a 22 year old.
For a big company, it was a good job.
I drove for Schneider from 1981 to 1987. Drove 78 international transtar 2.
I think fleet was Coe if I'm not wrong awsom time to be a trucker that was real truckin
I have heard legends of brilliant book cooks where the logs never added up, but you couldn't find the problem.
10,000 miles in 21 days isn't something I would brag about
@@sparkplug6918 I drove a 55mph tractor. I challenge you to do the same.
I actually learned to drive through Schneider back in the mid '00s. They were... an 'ok' company to drive for. I only drove for them for one year and in that year I had three dispatchers. The first two were just fine, but that third one was so bad that I almost quit the industry. My first five weeks driving under her was nothing but screw-ups on her end that culminated with a botched high-value load she sent to the wrong state. Which she then tried to blame on me. Even worse her immediate supervisor took her side at first and tried to blame me for the mess-up. As if I could just read her mind through the QualCom in my truck, which is where I got my instructions from. It turned into this huge ordeal involving the head of the Charlotte depot before they finally relented and assigned the blame properly. By that time I was so sick of it all that I just finished my week and turned my truck in at the depot and quit.
Speaking of high value loads, when I was there some idiot smashed a kingpin lock while trying to hook onto a trailer. In order to prevent this from happening again they fired him on the spot.
I'm just kidding. They had him re trained and implemented a new policy to ensure drivers were advised that they had a high vale load. This was implemented as an announcement made to you over the loud speak as you entered the gate. The message went a little like this:
MIKE, LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A HIGH VALUE LOAD. PLEASE STOP AT THE FUEL DESK BEFORE YOU PICKUP.
I came up with a better line, which was still in use when I left.
Thank you for the videos!
I'm going to reserve my comments on Schnieder National Carriers as I have personal experience with them going all the way back to Don Schnieder coming on as head of the company. Some of your information didn't jive with what's in my head but I could be wrong. Seems to me there was only a hundred or so union drivers and they weren't teamsters or they weren't chauffuerscand warehouse workers, they were in the same union as the workers at National Aluminum and they all hauled cans to the beer breweries in Milualkee. All the other drivers were non union. I do know for a fact that their big ass greedy gut ways almost kept any outsider from hauling cans or paper in the '70s and they have always kept a tight hold on their territory. We all went out and bought reefers so we wouldn't have to compete with him anymore.
Awesome video I must say my dad drove for Schneider for 45 years and was there in the beginning he loved working there and when he retired was a tour guide for the company for many years after that
Great video! Thank you.
Great video!
Thank you guys
Schneider facility / terminal is actually in West Memphis, Arkansas. & Also Schinder are in the South side of Memphis, TN. But to my knowledge the W. Memphis facility across the river is larger.
Video failed to mention it was Schneider Transport-all union. In 1976 there was a wild cat strike. Donny Schneider Hated unions. In the early 1980's to get around the union he started putting non-union drivers in the fund raiser/donation part of Schneider, called Schneider National. The union drivers drove Schneider National trucks but had a special round decal designating their union status. Thats all I.m gonna say about that.
Anyone in the Pa/NJ/NY area remember "Mushroom" trucks?
could someone tell me the name of the music at the begining of these videos
You forgot Schneider's Toronto and Montreal operating area.
First
There tank division was never talked about
Too many drownings from trying to install/remove load locks
