Very friendly staff that seem invested in you, unlike a place like Schneider where you were just a number. Very little stress in the job, easy assignments, great customers although some customers are difficult to deliver to. Training Pay was great, most of the equipment is new.

Pros

Higher pay than most companies I've been to $0.52 CPM. Friendly staff. Newer equipment.

Cons

(From what I've heard from older employees) Pay used to be higher $0.55 CPM. A lot of experienced people quit. The assignments are diminishing as other companies are stealing accounts. Owner Operators demand all the good runs but refuse to help staging good runs.

Either great or awful dispatch. Maintenance is good if you don't mind giving up family time. Gives what they offer then changes it without informing you

Pros

Always another job elsewhere

Cons

Cares about customer. No care for driver's on a day to day basis

Update on Trimac.

Update on Trimac.

So, it's been over two years since I made the switch from Schneider Bulk. Overall, it's been a good time. I finally got into a good truck and things are just rolling along. Trimac is going through some big changes but nothing that effects us drivers.

I tell you, the absolute biggest difference between Schneider and Trimac are the lengths of haul. I cannot remember the last time I had one under a 1,000 miles. Last week I had an out in back, total of 3800 miles. This week, I'm on a 2400 miler. We run a lot of West coast and the miles are big out here. Easy deliveries too, haven't touched a hose in 2 months and can't even remember the last time I touched my pump. All in all, at this moment I have no complaints. The key is getting a good truck, once you get that all the worries and stress fall away.

So, I'm still recommending Trimac if you want to run. Don't know much about the local guys or the regular branch drivers but for those who love OTR, it's hard to beat the Elite Team. No one bothers me, I have a great dispatcher, life is pretty good for this trucker

Trimac

I just checked there website for OTR Long haul there web site says ( 1 year verifiable Tractor Trailer Experience) Also from what I can gather from there website if you go to one of there listed schools that one year req is waived.

(Trimac requires a minimum of one (1) year Tractor/Trailer experience in the United States. However, if you have graduated from a PTDI or CVTA certified school, we will consider waiving the one (1) year requirement for exceptional candidates.) There is a list of schools that you can check on there website, I will not list them here,
