New intermodal driver

Hi, I've posted here a few times before. That was way back when when I was a lowly loader for a giant brown company trying to move up through the ranks. When I found out full time work was only a mere 10 years or more away, I realized that brown is brown for a reason .

I went to an amazingly great trucking school thats practically in my back yard. I even passed all 3 parts (pretrip, skills and road) 1-2-3. I got my tanker and doubles/triples and was going to get my hazmat but i got a job at a local company out of gary.

That job sucked so much it turned me off to driving. the motto of hurry up to wait around rang so true, it still buzzes in my ears. Plus all of the out right lies.

Now as I sit here though, flat broke and with minimal experience in my log book, i decided to give big orange another shot. I applied to them when i was a student. I should have gone with them in retrospect but man home every night, local loads, small company enticed me so much.

So here i am, I was so excited to get the intermodal position at orange that when i was walking out of the building, i couldn't stop smiling. i felt like such a dork but don't tell anyone else about that.

Does anyone have any experience working modal? They said i am guaranteed 700 dollars a week but "You'll be making a lot more than that." Can anyone else confirm that just for that warm fuzzy feeling? I trust Schneider as a company as its very rare to see a driver badmouth the pumpkin patch, but as Reagan always said, "Trust, but verify"

Also thanks to all the members and mods who make this website so great, it really helps a greenhorn like me.

edit: I forgot to brag about something. Schneider made me take a 100 question assement where both answers were right but i had to pick the more right answer. I got a 5 star front inpact saftey rated almost perfect if not perfect score on it. I just had to remind myself, I am a professional driver, not just a truck driver.
