it kinda depends, but dry van in GA starts at .28.......but actually, it's .26 because they force per diem pay on you for the first 90 days and charge .02 for "administrative purposes / fees". Yeah, it's a scam alright, but trust me, you could do a lot worse. I've been with SNI for about 8 months and although it hasn't been perfect, I'd still highly recommend them to anyone and would gladly do it all over again if I had the choice. Look, as a new driver it's just gonna be rough the first 6 months or so (pay wise) anywhere you go. The reason I would recommend SNI is that they have decent equipment, lots of freight to keep you busy, and most importantly, lots and lots of options after you pay your 6 month dues (dedicated, otr, regional, lease, owner / operator, bulk, dry van, tanker.....you name it, they pretty much got it.). Seriously, take a look at SNI. I am frankly very happy I chose to go with them and have no intentions of going anywhere else. As a matter of fact, I'm currently looking at buying a truck from them and going on the Choice Program. They're not perfect, and they'll tell you that straight up. But, they're head and shoulders above just about everybody else. Good luck and happy truckin'!
Thank you for the reply they will stay on my list its either them or tmc for me after I get out of school
Yea I yhink with dry van im gonna get fed up and bored sitting at docks and not being active and with this whole hours of service #### changing I wanted to go with schnider team driving with a buddy of mines but we wouldnt make #### with law changing
Im a team driver and still do better than I ever did driving solo. It just depends on where you want to make your mark.
Go with TMC. As long as drivers accept substandard pay from mega companies these companies will continue putting the screws to drivers. There is no reason a driver should work for pennies like this unless he/she has a terrible background/record and needs a start SOMEWHERE. If you have a decent background and record there are much better paying companies. Nothing against Schneider particularly as they seem to have a somewhat better reputation than many of the other mega companies hiring new drivers but that pay is unacceptable anyway you slice it.
If you go with TMC, you better be ready to lift a rolled up 100 pound tarp up to your sholders. That is when it is dry, if its wet or icy it will be heavier.
I totally agree with u about the pay the math looks ridiculous on paper I much rather get paid percentage with tmc im in it for the money I have a family to feed sitting at docks just isnt what I see myself doing I had got caught up im the labor with tmc because of tarping in winter situations but it cant be that bad
O yea trust me ive heard about the tarping im pretty capable of lifting 100 pounds over my shoulder im only 23 and perfectly healthy played football all 4 years in high school the physical part is the least of my worry im just nervous bout the tarping part
