It's a great company to start driving for... provided you don't have a family to support and that you are able to survive on consistant, weekly pay of $350.00-$750.00... before taxes.. for an entire year.
Yes, it really is that bad.
Why else do you think that they are always, always, always, hiring?
BEWARE: SCHNEIDER STAY AWAY FROM!!!!!!!!

A lot of drivers work themselves into bad enough MVR records that the best job they ever have is at the mega that gave them the bad record.
Some of those guys end up making a career of mega crap trucking companies. Others move on to small companies that are far worse then the mega and offer less in the way of pay or benefits they got at the mega.
While working at a mega watch yourself. Do not only learn the skills needed to keep you MVR clean, but learn to prioritize the demands. -
Everyone has mishaps, and accidents. Just don't make a habit of it.

Can't make the load unless you drive illegal? Don't do it. Reschedule. Load overweight? Don't haul it. Told to do (insert any DOT Regs violation) or else your fired? Move on, you don't need to work for them anyway. -
gentleroger and TaterFox Thank this.

The real trashing here is coming from the companies to the drivers... one payday after another.
There are plenty of weeks when a Schneider (or Conway, or whatever mega) driver will receive a weekly paycheck for $350.00... and you know it.
And the above applies to both newbies and experienced drivers.
Training salaries of past years gone by have nothing to do with this; today's salaries are the issue here and I'm calling them for what they truly are...consistant, low, low pay. And the figures that I provide are dead on. To claim that people are making anything different is absurd and not entirely true.
I would urge any potential new driver to physically go to any truck stop and personally speak with a current Schneider (or any other company) driver about real pay as well as conditions. Guess what they will hear?
Yep... $350.00- $750.00 a week.
And I still don't know what a good 'starter' company really is unless you mean that the company will simply hire anyone with a pulse, and then pay them next to nothing...
As in far less than minimum wage.Last edited: Jan 3, 2018
