Tankers the Schneider way

I agree. Trucking is the only industry where they expect you to "earn" time off. Other industries give it to you and then pay you extra if you work on the weekends. Sat and Sun off is 104 days per year and that doesn't include vacation and holidays. These companies expect you to "earn" 52 per year. No wonder driver turnover is 100%. How does Schnieder handle holidays? Do you get paid extra if you work say July 4?

 

That's an extra $1200 per year for us. This is the type of benefit that helps take actual per mile pay to .57 off the hub. Any hourly pay does as well.

 

Hub miles are the actual miles the truck moves. Companies pay either practical or hhm which are always less than the truck actually moves. Getting lost reduces my calculated cpm.

 

No, we are paid for 9 vacation days per year. If you work you get regular mileage, hourly, etc plus the holiday pay.
