According to Wikipedia, they employ 11,650 company drivers. I doubt they all average those 2,000 per week, but for easier math, I'll use that. It'll come out in the wash when I do the annual.
11,650 drivers x 40 bucks per week = 466,000 per week that Schneider takes from its drivers for the administration of the per diem program. Let's say folks drive 3 weeks per month. That's 36 week per year. 466,000 x 36 =16,776,000 annually to the company to administer the per diem program. I doubt it costs them 16 million to administer the program. lol. They are skimming a bit off the backs of the drivers, but also doing them a favor by giving them the money early. If they aren't giving the full 48, that'd be figuratively criminal.
Now, they don't employ that many OTR drivers, so lets say it's half. 5,500x40= 220,000 per week. 220,000 x 36 = 7,920,000 annually for administrative costs. That's still steep, but not as bad.
I used Google trying to find an accurate OTR driver count for them, but couldn't come up with it.
I see their per diem as a win/win situation while looking at the numbers for the two sides, driver and company. Oh, forgot to mention I was a tax preparer on the side for a while, and you know us mortar maggots do math.
Money now is worth more than money later. That's a universal truth. It is a fair enough shake and the company makes a little off it too. Should you find an accurate OTR driver count and their average miles, I'll work the numbers.

Drop the per diem. They charge you .02/mi for administrative fees, so 100,000 miles a year is $2,000. A good tax accountant will cost you $400 and get you the same deductions.
Also, you should up the number of exemptions you have which will lower the taxes taken out each paycheck. I did 6 for 2015, sleeper birth/per diem 255 days total and I wound up with a fed refund and only owed the state $20. I never understood why people paid the full tax rate out of each paycheck just to get a refund at the end of the year...why give the government a 0% loan?joshlilou, slim shady, Raxus and 2 others Thank this.
