typical?

I'm dry van and have been here for about 6 years.
The slow time is usually between the last week in December up until March sometime. You might only average half of what you want during that time, or maybe a bit better.

 

You gotta be kidding me......
To make a mere $900 a week you have to run 3500-3600 miles in a tanker??

Your Gross should be $6-7k on 3500 miles!!! After Fuel and all other Schneider nitpickins- You outta be walkin $1600-1800 a week in green Cash Stuffing your wallet

 

I don't know about tanker, but for dry van freight typically dies off between mid January doesn't start picking up until mid March. Then it gets better and better until peaking around the 4th of July, where you get a smaller drop until the back to school rush in late August.






3600 miles/week to clear $1000 sounds terrible to me btw -- a company driver should make more than that.

 

Jhc you have to do 3600 MILES to take 900/1000 That's awful.
Curious though how much are you holding back for taxes.
I really thought there was better pay on the tank side.

 

No kidding that sucks!!! Especially when all I have to drive is 2105 miles a week to make $1,000 gross... as a company driver

 

Companies try and keep their year-end inventories as low as possible for tax purposes, and once the inventory is complete in early January then they will work to bring inventory levels back up to where they feel they should be.

 

I do skateboarding and I haven't worked almost 2 weeks. But that's why you always put away for those rainy days. And I ain't gonna start looking until next week unless they look for me first.
