    Yep brand new to Schneider but I did 1 year with C.R. England running beer for their Anheuser-busch account in the Rockies.

    The runs for this pay period were corrosive from Atlanta to Pittsburgh and environmental hazard from Pittsburgh to Houston.

    Congrats and good luck to you. You can't go wrong learning tanking from Schneider. I hope your pay remains high.

    Not trying to burst your bubble but you probably will be sitting at OCs waiting on loads quite a bit, ain’t no way you’re gonna be hitting 2 grand a week at Schenider as OTR or regional, maybe once if all the stars aligned and they put extra money on your settlement on accident.

    I made $1800 and $1400 my 1st 2 weeks with Schneider. Thought it was great, then it slowed down. Hopefully it continues for you but more than likely you'll get frustrated from all the sitting like everyone else

    I will say, I got the impression Schneider gave me some good runs when I first started. I think my first load went from Georgia to Maine. It didn't last, though.

    I think everyone gets good runs those first few weeks then you get pushed to the side. I made $1400 my first week and I think $1650 my third week then I barely made over 1k rest of my time. If you are on a dedicated Acc you can make good money but other than that ain’t really happening

    Just curious, Schneider is supposed to be a world class logistics operation yet I keep reading this over-and-over about their bulk / tanker division. Why does this keep happening???

    Because it's the way things really are. If you listen to the corporate hype from SNI, or any major trucking company, you'll get a different and very distorted view of the way things really are down in the trenches.
    You're new at this. There's nothing wrong with that but listen to the voices of your fellow workers. They know.
