Pros

Good equipment. The maintenance guys are on the spot if you need them. The operating centers are nice and clean. The trucks are automatic and regulated at 65mph for teams. They keep you moving.

Cons

Florida residents should not bother to apply. Little to no freight in or out of Florida. I have to drive 9 hours one way (without pay) just to meet my team driver in NC. Recruiter told me I would be working out of Jacksonville,FL. Recruiters will lie to get you in the door. No bonuses for Florida drivers and 90 day employment contract required. Everybody and I mean everybody in my training class got atleast $5000 sign on bonus with no employment contract required. I don't understand why they even advertise in Florida because we are not needed nor welcome and treated like bottom tier employees. They will not pay for schooling as advertised unless you have diploma in hand.

Pros

Dedicated local account, driver leaders are nice, equipment is decent.

Cons

$12/hr on duty, not driving pay. That’s ridiculous and includes everything except driving. Work can be inconsistent at times, hours can be long, no holiday or mileage bonus pay for a long time after hire, benefits are expensive. Schneider won’t allow drivers to use Bluetooth or any other hands-free device, INCLUDING HEARING AIDS, to receive calls while driving. This makes having a life outside of work and scheduling appointments almost impossible.
