Schneider Bulk

45k is the tip of the iceberg. The experience is the most important. Once you you tank a tank, it's very hard to do anything else.

 

Thanks Wsyrob, that information sounds encouraging. I have next week off so I can contact them and a few other companies.

Also going to a Schneider's recruiting event on the 23rd. I haven't decided on a school yet, maybe the Schneider recruiter can recommend a good school in the Detroit area.

 

1900 was the high end I was trying to reach every week with no luck. I did got a good load 1 week for 2700 miles though throughout the 6 months I worked the bulk division. In my opinion it's not worth it with all that extra works you have to perform on the bulk side. That is why I am moving to the van side.

 

They don't show a location in S.E. Michigan would that be a problem? Nearest to me looks like N.E. Indiana.

 

Considering joining the Schneider Bulk Division out of Houston, TX. I was wondering what I can expect in the ways of miles and what area I can expect to be running? Also, I heard a rumor that they're going to automatics, is this true?

 

You will run all 48 and canada if you have a passport. More than likely you will stay east of i35. West coast runs are rare.

Miles are all over the place. I have been getting 2800-3000 but i dont know if ive just been lucky or things are finally picking back up.

All of the new trucks are automatics but you wont see one as a new driver. They might offer you one after a year.
