Schneider, Swift, or Con-Way? Which is the BEST for a new CDL Driver?

well honestly the 500 a wk as a rookie is not a for sure thing no matter where you go. as for not past colorado might not happen unless who ever you go with only does 11 western as per the company you want to go with its all up to personal opinion many will say schneider or conway but i dont think swift is as bad as many say.

 

Welcome to the Obama economy. Conway is the best of the three you mentioned. With Conway after a year you may be able to switch to LTL.

 

Driver get on with a food company.. this week check was 1100 after taxes week before 700 and I went home last week lol if I stay out I range from 850-1300 depending on how truck acts

 

maybeon the gross end you will make 1500 month. you'll have travel expenses of 600 a month if you live in the truck. cost of living on the road works out to be $150 bucks a week. you might make 30k your first year. really you should plan on making 23k a year for the first 3 years. trucking companies don't give raises to drivers. so after your 3rd year of driving. you may have to change jobs in order to get a raise. so pick who you think you can put up with for 3 years.

 

If you can get on schneider tanker, that would be my #1 choice (I know they don't hire in far norcal). Then conway #2, schnieder #3, & Swift #496

 

Go with Swift and get 3-6 months experience and then find another job making twice the money. But, you need the experience...

 

You can go with May they run 11 western but dont think you can take truck home.

 

Sure, if you don't mind sending 3 macros every time your bowel moves
