    Schneider if you want good training. JB Hunt if you want a good starting pay.

    Learn how, then ask. I have a brother in law that paid for a house and more from JB. He never liked me. I'm an 0/0. Made too much fun of him. Schneider is the same way. I Man up though! Get some miles and chose for your self. We all have to learn.

    Interesting...so jb hunt has better pay starting out. Do you think I can make minimum of 800 a week starting out. I will be okay with that

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think J.B has a training program.

    Schneider
    I averaged $700 take home pay a week when I first started with Schneider...that's after 401k, insurance, and taxes.
    After my first year now, and two raises...I average $800 take home + bonuses. ( $400+ quarterly)
    I don' t know JB Hunts program...but most other trucking companies made you team and stuff for months before giving you a solo rig.
    Also...Schneider has been really good about treating me well and getting me home when I want.

    Hard to say. Everyone is different. I made Trucking second and my Wife one. She got me lost once. Not a bad record for all them years. :biggrin_25514:

    Nice details from schneider side. I am still going back on forth on the paid training or do it on my own at a local CDL driving school. From what I hear and read, both companies take on fresh new CDL drivers. Also, schnieder has a tanker division which why I am still interested in them. I will talk with a jb Hunt recruiter today and see what they have to offer. I will keep you guy posted.

    I would go with JB Hunt. They can go 63 on cruise instead of 60.
