Schneider National Trucking Failed to Pay, Threatened Me, Forced Unsafe & Unhealthy Situations ripoff Carlisle, Pennsylvania Nationwide
Schneider National has failed to pay me according to the terms and conditions originally discussed. Recruiter's claimed you can make $55-60 per year. That was not true. I didn't find that lie until after I had already committed to a year of employment. They don't put the pay in writing (my mistake, their sneaky method). I am owed approximately $15,000 per my agreement with this company and they are trying to collect $3500 from me based on a fraudulant contract.
Schneider National has also forced me to work thru scheduled time I was supposed to be at home and made plans for costing me a few hundred dollars. I have had no time at home for nearly 4 months, against my will.
Schneider would threaten me if I quit with police force. It is against the law to abandon a commercial vehicle now since 9/11. You cant leave it just anywhere. You will be arrested, Schneider made that very clear to me when I told them to get me home or I'm taking a bus.
They also threatened to have me arrested if I drove the truck to their terminal to return it as it is not authorized use of their vehicle. They would report it stolen. Eventually that is what I did anyway after speaking to a NY State DOT Officer and they charged me $331 for unauthorized use of their vehicle. My dispatcher would never route me home for the scheduled times I asked for. I was basically held against my will by verbal threats.
My trucks were always in poor condition while working there. I got penalized numerous times for refusing to move trailers and trucks that were not up to DOT Inspections and Regulations. My vehicles were unsafe.
I was also asked to switch trucks a few times. They would force me to pick up vehicles where people had quit and left them. The last truck I was forced to drive had bottles of urine in it and trash as high as the passenger side window. It was filthy and completely disgusting and personally degrading. My dispatcher would laugh about it.
I have been wanting to quit since I started and now that I have they have kept my money they owe me, filed illigitemnt reports on the trucking industries DAC reports and are attempting to damage my credit with a contract that is null and void as I feel it was based on verbal lies. They failed to properly disclose the correct information to me and by law I have a right to a copy of all contracts that I signed. My dispatcher, the Schneider Legal Dept and Schneider HR Dept, Have all denied and refused to give me copies of the documents I signed. That is against the LAW!
I have left out alot of other things they have done in the last 7 months. This is just part of it.
Anyone Interested in Helping me to support a legal battle or give me written statements of their dealings with Schneider National please feel free to contact me. Thanks,

I've worked for Schneider over 2 years...I do understand how some STL's can make you feel dominated. Now come on....we both know that they cannot call the police on you for quitting your job. If you did abandon your truck, SNI would have gotten fined...not you. SNI has their drivers as a scapegoat...they blame all their errors on the driver. such as:
I was dispached to pu a ld in Laredo, TX at 1230pm. and del to customer at 8pm. I arrived at the customer at approx 5pm. only to be greeted by the boss man yelling "Where were you schneider?" I said...what do you mean. to make a long story short....Their ld was 1wk late,he kept calling sni and they were telling him that the driver pu the load on time, but is nowhere to be found. that they couldnt locate my truck (even though we both know they are equipped with GPS). so I showed him my qualcomm to prove my innocence. I have a lot more things about sni to say, but this msg is too long already... :)

Sorry Charles but you need to consult a basic business law book and read about contracts. If you sign a contract your bound my the terms of that contract. It's to your folly if you sign without reading the document.
Since I don't drive for a living I don't know about the pay issue. I do know that if you want to make money as a driver then you must run the miles. That is just the way the system works.
I don't know how old you are but from what I'm reading that your a young person. Kids today expect everything to be given to them. If this comment hurts well so be it. Take it to heart.
Here's a suggestion. Want to be a driver? Join the military and sign up to become a truck driver. They will train you and when your time is up you'll have a couple of years experience and a solid work history. Providing of course you follow directions from those in command and not complain, bellyache, etc about doing the work.

I am glad schneider turn me down after reading all these reports. It would have been a mistake to work for them! They treat people like garbage who don't have a solid work history! Its a waste of time to apply with schneider people did not know you had to have a solid working history like I didn't just to be enterted into a trucking school.
