Anybody Work for Schneider LTL?

It's different run from run.. not every L/H run is huge miles and not every city driver is banging out 12 hours a day so some are banking other are not I don't think it matters what part you play it's just preference I don't care to be running in the middle if the night sleeping during the days so I push pallet jacks and I don't do bad at all!! Win win in my books others may disagree

 

You must have shorter linehaul runs. Our average l/h runs are 530 mile single turns, with a good many over 550 and about a dozen or so 625+ runs. Or perhaps OT is a factor for your barn? UPSF, ABF, or YRC maybe? I know SAIA has overtime and isn't a union shop. I think our P&D guys are around $28 hourly, but of course with OD - that's Overtime Denied.

Even at $28.00 an hour, at twelve hours, our average linehaul run of 525 would be just a hair more than a city driver. The key being that most of our P&D guys aren't working 12 hour days 5 days a week consistently on the city side, except for the busy season perhaps. I guess maybe that's where OT would come into play for a city driver, but still you'd have to consistently work 12 hours a day...

But also consider that a good mileage linehaul run can be done in 10 hours or so, not 12 .... And that's consistent $.

 

Interesting. Our local guys are paid basically the same as we are, but our top road drivers get paid the highest out of everyone. Tough to beat triple time for yardwork on holidays for the top local guys, though.

 

Then your line guys are woefully underpaid per mile.

 

What company are you with?

 

Lol I was wondering the same thing. That's an interesting pay scale.

 

Again I think it's different barn from barn and company from company we have some long ### city routes equals up to a lot of OT and we have some shorter L/H runs so obviously in that case city is making more. Maybe other barns L/H is king!! But I know it's not everywhere
