No touch freight?

I have been with SNI a year now. I have NEVER touched any freight. The closest I ever came was that I had to block and brace one load with 2 x 4's. That took maybe 10 minutes. I have had to sit for live loads or unloads, but that is less than 30 percent of the time.

I started with Schneider as a new driver and have not been sorry I did. They are not perfect, but they have done what they said they would do. I have seen posts on here of drivers that were not happy, but it is mostly an individual thing depending on your expectations and grip on reality - plus your ability to catch on, communicate, and be flexible. There are other factors, but trucking is a team operation with your freight manager. If you do what you are expected with a decent attitude, you should do okay with Schneider. I don't plan on going any place else any time soon.

 

i did power only loads for them and never touched anything either

 

I drove a pumpkin for 9 months and never had to unload/load anything that I didnt want to. I never had a problem gettting a lumper. (sometimes it may take a while to get someone on the phone, but always got authorization when asked) A few of loads were easy to unload, so I did and got paid for them.

 

If you have some one in mind, you can run together. Some drivers don't, so they will match you up with someone else that wants to run teams. You don't have to be with anyone you don't want to.

 

my experience with drop n hook was i guess about 50 percent. and half of the live loads/unloads usually didnt take more than an hour. Then there were the times i sat for hours on end waiting.

 

After you go through training you might change your mind about running teams. It can get cramped in the truck with 2 people pretty much living in it for weeks at a time. Also, I thought it was hard to sleep when the truck was bouncing down the road. However, there are teams out there that are very happy with it. I'm sure you will get to meet the person, but couldn't tell ya for how long before yall will have to get rolling. I would think it would be better to find someone on your own. good luck to ya.
