Schneider National, Inc (SNI) not only rip off the drivers, they also rip off the system by using government funds to not properly train drivers.
These drivers are used and most time misused to haul frieght for 9months to a year at a low rate per mile. After SNI have utilized these drivers, received subsidized government funds, and tax rebates, they force these drivers to quit by not giving them frieght etc. These drivers are replaced by new trainees.
SNI re-hired me an experienced driver who had previously driven for the company, had been fired by SNI in 1998 while on workman compensation. After re-hiring 09 I was harrassed by being put on a training program at $300 per week. I wasaskedto produce my California drivers licience at least 5 times on different occassions.
I and others were promised standby pay of $100 per day. Standby was paid to others, but not to me.
In a meeting 12/27/08 I was promised back pay that would average my pay at $900 per week. I was told in this meeting with Jeff Ames my DBL and Luke Simendinger, Operation Manager that my logs were sufficient and I was doing my job as expected.
January12 I filed a DOT complaint that was determined valid by FMSCA.
January13 I was asked to meet with Luke and Jeff in private, placed in a small room after Luke forceably took 3 log books from me in the presence of other drivers.
After entering the room Luke and Jeff stated they would be right back. After 5-6 minutes waiting I decided to leave the room. When I opened the door, a guard was standing outside, asked me to return, grabbed me by my right arm as I attempted to go out the front door.in doing so the force of pulling me backwards, my arm pulled with such force causing my #9 rib to be broken on my right side.
Fontana, CA PD refused to take an assualt and battery, nor false imprsionment complaint.
Workman comp complaint # WC648-420112 was filed with Liberty Mutual. I received a "Notice of Denial of Claim" dated January 26.
I suspect that SNI have received "CORPORATE WELFARE" to subsidize the weeks they keep me on a training program, only to harrass me.
SNI's improper training proceedures, using government assistance is a "RIP-OFF" that should be investigated and terminated. This program is used to discriminate and utilize a segiment of the drivers in a selective manner.
