Grim, that 26 is to START. get a decent bump at 6 months and another at a year. Also those miles seem lowballed to me.But if you can live with that amount for a little bit( I believe you would get more than that per week) we arent a bad company to start with.
What kind of time out are you thinking of? Home weekly, every two weeks, etc.
Average pay weekly for Regional, living in the Dallas / Fort Worth area?

Regional position I applied for says out 5-6 days, restart would be at home. Why I am asking about average pay, I have been pretty much offered a job at FedEx for a contractor who says I will make near 1k a week, got my shirt in the mail today. Also have been offered a local job that pays $14 an hour driving a 26' box truck 40 hours a week. I like the growth potential with Schneider, like going tanker or intermodel but starting out i'm worried about paying all my bills.mje Thanks this.
-
well, then go with the fedex gig. You may just like it. Otherwise get the experience in(year or so) and then come to SNI if you want. You'll start at a higher rate then.mje Thanks this.
-
Unless Schneider pays by area, I didn't think they did, starting rate for me was .29 out of Gary. Consistent pay and homenoe daily i'd go Fedex
mje Thanks this. -
I would be teaming with FedEx making $.20 a mile even when I am in sleeper berth. Its 100% drop and hook to FedEx ground terminals only. Schneider would have me starting out making $.26 a mile per diem but after short training I would get my own truck, not having to share a space.mje Thanks this.
-
So the question to team and make more money, or go solo and make less.
-
I started out higher than that in 1999! I started at .32 cents per mile. Current pay is ridiculous and an insult.
-
And that requires some long, hard thought. Do you want to share a space smaller than a shower stall (not quite) with another person? Can you actually be in the same vehicle with someone almost 24/7? It's hard enough doing that during training, but afterwards? I am a team driver, but my co-pilot is my hubby. I did team with a friend for a short time years ago, and there is no way I would do that again with anyone other than my hubby.
-
I have been fighting this decision for a couple weeks now. I gotta meet my team member on monday and do a drug test, so i will know if i want go with Fedex or not.
-
Its been a while but I did not go with FedEx, decided I could not do teams. I'm suppose to start orientation sometime in the middle of October with Schneider. When I was speaking to my recruiter last week, they told me Schneider is working on raising the pay scale too.
