Example of Schneider tanker pay

Oh yeah, something I want to share with followers.. As of last week I opted out of the per diem thing. So from now on they will not be taking 2 cents of pay away from me. So this is my thinking on this. Since I'm not getting per diem anymore I will be taxed a lot harder or whatever right. Meaning my pay checks after taxes will be a lot smaller. So here is what I've done I looked at my pay weeks where I grossed like 1509 dollars for the week and made a note of what my bet pay ended up being while being in the per diem. Well since I've opted out of the per diem I've added a extra exemption on my federal with holdings, so I was claiming 1 already but now I'm claiming 2. I will follow my pay and see if the net pay stay around the same as it did while in the per diem program. I might need to add another or withdraw in the coming weeks. I just gotta study pay and try to figure this out. I opted out because I don't wanna give 2 cents to the company any longer. I also don't care for huge refunds at tax time every year. I still wanna get good net pay every week. So I'm thinking I can just set my dependent number claimed to make my pay pretty much stay the same every week just like it was while in the per diem and at end of the year I should be able to claim the 63 dollars a day per diem standard rate deduction and not get any money back but not have to pay any in. Now I am in no way if my train of thought behind this is correct. If you read this and have any advice or if I'm doing this completely all wrong (please) reply to this and explain what I should do. I just made these changes and I would like to correct this if I need to as soo. As possible. Thanks guys

 

I hope so, I've done my best to try to put out their all I know so far about Schneider Bulk and to add stuff all the time. Their is a lot of new drivers looking to getting their foot into pulling tanks I believe and SNBC is one of the few company's new CDL holders can start brand new like myself did. I believe this thread is missing something though unless someone else added it in here and I overlooked it. I would like a driver that started brand new working for SNBC that started at the 41cpm - 39 cpm in the per diem to tell us about the raises they get the first year. I'm not 100 pct sure that what I believe is right or not. My understanding is a new driver starts off at 41cpm and gets 3 raises his or her 1st 12 months. If this is correct or not can a new driver that has this info please post it in here. I'm guessing it's a raise at 6 months, 9 months and the possible 2 cent raise at 12 months that is based on pay for performance. I need the exact amount of raise and at which months. I heard 41 cpm start, like 1cpm at 6 months to 42, 1 more cpm raise at 9 months putting you at 43, then the possible 2 cpm raise at 12 putting you at 45 cpm. I hope this is close to being accurate, if so that's not to bad for a rookie at 12 months experience. I know I've met drivers that have only ever drove for snbc and have only been with snbc 3 years total and are making 50 and 50.5 cpm for every mile loaded-empty and bobtail. I'm sure you can make more cpm loaded somewhere else but not a lot pay same for empty an BT. I can for sure tell you I do pretty good at 46 cpm so any driver making 50 or higher here they are not going to change company's unless fired I bet. But it is a mega carrier and it has its goods and it's not so goods. But I'm still here and I can't complain about anything really. I try to think of stuff to put in here to complain about and sometimes I do but it's always minor stuff that's really not even wasteing the time it takes to write them. One thing I've noticed from hearing other new drivers talk is your first few months you can't do all the different loads. So you will at times shuttle trailers and what not to keep you working. Some loads require 6 months or a year experience. Also some company's actually put in job info to snbc not to send a new driver to their location etc.. I'm guessing the blowed the customer tank out or ran over something in the past there. Who knows really.

 

Oh and I would also like to add that even though I like working at SNBC and plan on staying here for who knows how long. If I ever decided to go to a new company to work otr it would be Supperior. They have a terminal closer to my house and I've talked to several really good guys that currently work there and it is definitely a great company to work and stay with. I say this so people know I don't just boost the company I work for I put out all the information and opinions I have in my thread about work as a tanker yanker.

 

Na that i don't care for politics of the other ha

 

Thanks I'm claiming 2 as of now but I'm single.. I'm thinking it should be about right to break even
