LMI’A

I can only comment American companies advertising for drivers in the UK. I worked for Schneider Transport who started another division called Schneider National (SNI) who were desperate for drivers in the eight’s so advertised in the UK. I met a couple of Irish lads running team at a fuel stop and was looking forward to a chat but they had to get going, no time for a coffee. The lad said they ran the balls off them but thought it was worth it to stay in the USA but i heard later that not many were able to stay after a period of time. Sad to say but i think SNI just used them to get the most amount of miles out of them they could then when their visas were up kicked them out of the truck so they had to go back home.

There was a letter in a UK trucking mag from an English driver who had come to the US on one of these deals by another big haulier and he also said it didn’t work out the way they said it would. I’m not saying there all scams but you need to do your homework.
