What are the qualifications required for this type of work? I have CDL-A Hazmat, 1 1/2 years verifiable TT exp, 150K+ verifiable accident/ticket free miles, and looking for a change. What other requirements do your fleet owners usually look for? Wise man once say, "He who drives truck in white...

Really depends on what you are looking for. Since you are on an expedited freight board asking this question, I think I should point out to you that Schneider has not "expedited freight" to speak of. Go to www.pumpkindriver.com and check out that site. You will learn anything you want about...

>You are right, as long as these types keep getting elected, >not much will change. It's not just about voting. It's also about awareness. The general motoring public doesnt care whether a candidate is for or against trucking. They arent looking at that. Their tolls are inexpesive, 25 cents...

I dont see a problem with the way the rules are now. If anyone thinks they will go BACK to what they used to be they are sadly mistaken. The only think that MIGHT change is they will let you only drive 10 hours instead of 11. How does that help anyone? If you are too tired to drive 11 hours...

RE: shredded tire on road, what happens? a newbie You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT twodogsdaddy. Under-inflated tires are a HUGE problem on the road. Whether it be big trucks, or small cars. I cant remember the figure but AAA put out a report on the percentage of people driving on 2 or more under...

>I think it's called competition??? Fine line between 'competition' and the 'rate cutting' that is starving the OTR dry freight market. Wise man once say, "He who drives truck in white pants...soon drives truck in dirty white pants."

Yes, please give details, instead of a vague tounge-lashing. And for the love of God, change your screen name. It's embarassing. Wise man once say, "He who drives truck in white pants...soon drives truck in dirty white pants."

I respect 6 wheelers the same as 18 wheelers. I respect all until I have a reason not to. I flash everyone over. I'll even flash an RV over. I dont flash people over as a sign of respect. I do it as a courtesy for safety. If a vehicle has limited sight or if it's a large vehicle with something...

Actually, you would be amazed at the amount of crap a company can get a driver to do for free. They could do it. And I expect them to make a go of it soon. Look forward to that. Wise man once say, "He who drives truck in white pants...soon drives truck in dirty white pants."

There are many states that have split speed limits...not just Ohio. I understand that there is a lot of frustration directed towards their supposed prejudice of trucks, but I have found just as much, if not more in states like Michigan. In fact, at least in Ohio the troopers have their parking...

As I have mentioned, I am a tractor-trailer driver for Schneider National. Got about a year and a half under my belt now. Im very intrigued with the cargo van expedite market. Problem is, I would like to drive for a fleet owner or owner operator to learn the industry, freight lanes, cyclical...

Thank you for the kind welcome. I have discovered that this site IS very different than a lot of other "trucking" forums. The main difference I noticed? Kindness. Most other trucking boards are becoming the new version of a CB Radio, and you can't really ask any questions because almost all of...

Hello all, Please allow myself to introduce...myself. I am an OTR driver. I have been with Schneider for a little over a year now. (1 year May 2004). I have been driving on a dedicated JC Penney account for about 6 months now. Unfortunately, things arent working out very well, so I am looking...
