Hi,
I’ve been driving with Schneider base out of Oregon OC for 2 months now since I got my CDL. Everything is good, making about 1.3k weekly which is not bad for me as a new driver. My DTL is very supportive, polite and respectful.
My problem is about home time. I don’t mind working hard but one thing I really hate is doing 34 reset in the middle of nowhere. I mean, at least if I’m not going to make any money just let me sit with my family.
I’ve been told I can transfer to another account that has more home time later. Then I saw Target account on company website, running around Pacific Northwest region, ( do not need to go down to CA which is the most second thing I hate about this job LoL ), decent pay and can be at home every weekends + any time you do 10 hours reset in Portland.
So I tried to apply/transfer for that account but recruiter told me that you can only transfer on to account that show on your Compass and this gig doesn’t show on my Compass.
1. Why???
2. Can I quit and apply again on that account since they are not allowed me to transfer, How long its gonna take to get re-hired to Schneider after you quit?
3. JB Hunt also offer the same account with a little better pay rate ( but I don’t want to quit Schneider too soon since they treated me well ).
Thank you for your help,
Account Transfer

Schneider veteran here....
Part (or all?) of your problem: unless things have changed a lot since I was there -- you need to stay where your are for 6 months -- then you can make a transfer (if you are still in good standing with safety).
Whatever you do -- DON'T QUIT!!!
You can thank me, later...

thanks for the reply, -
Maybe @gentleroger can offer some insight? I think he works for Schneider.
gentleroger and Revenge of the Grandpa Thank this. -
1.3k per week....for a new driver....at Schneider.....
is OUT-STANDING!!!
If you transfer to Target -- you may (or may not) make that same money....
-- LLonesome Thanks this. -
@Chi Town Steers loves Schneider and has the tattoo!
Chi Town Steers Thanks this. -
I made around 1.1k, sometimes 1.2k 1.0k 1.2k
also 990 once or twice but last paycheck raise up to 1.375k and my account has pretty consistent miles. So I think that’s gonna be my average pay from now on.Last edited: Jul 12, 2025

Stay away from:
- Any/all "dollar store" accounts
- Paper mill accounts
MUCH BETTER account choices/options:
- Target
- Home Depot
- Lowe's
- Walmart

That’s exactly my current account, the paper mill one.
When I was talking to the recruiter about transferring my account, she offered me the intermodal one. But I need to work from 16:00-3:00 which is not a good idea since I need to leave home 2 hours early just to get through traffic to get inside the truck.Last edited: Jul 12, 2025
