NEED HELP, STARTING NEW JOB

I used to work for Schneider they tried to offer me the same position in Charlotte NC. My biggest issue with it was most of my pay was caught up in performance so say if I didn't make on time delivery or something of that nature I would lose 5-8% of my salary due to performance. So I would ask them about that, and dang you living in or near Chicago, I always felt they should pay more in areas such as that, I used to live in NYC Queens to be exact they couldn't keep drivers due to the pay you lose lots of time due to the traffic in the A.M in the AFTERNOON in the P.M. it truly affects your revenue. Expecially if you are getting paid by the Cent Per Mile. I hope this helps you.

 

That is high for people who are used to working dead-end jobs making barely above minimum wage. He may be used to making $10 - $12/hr and the idea of making well over $500/wk sounds awesome. That is why I got into trucking. There aren't many industries left where you can make a decent living without a college degree. With that said, mileage pay sucks for this type of job. A new driver looks at that and does the math and says, "I'll be making over $22/hr going down the road at 60mph!" They don't know enough yet to factor in the wait times at the rail yard and the traffic jams and the wrecks that turn their rate into $0.00/hr. The truth is probably that the gig is 12 to 14 hours per day and you are back to earning around $12/hr. But better money is around the corner if he pays his dues first.

 

Add all everything up and making .37cpm is a slap and another slaaap... Once you have been to BNSF anywhere wouldn't be hard to see this... Sounds good at first but at a second glance its terrible...

Who here has been to the rails when the trains are blocking the track for lifts on and off? Your in for a long day

 

Schneider has been good to me. Been with them 6 months. If your a military vet then you can make an extra $14,000your 1st year. Hit me up if you have any questions.

 

I have. Thats why I would never take a local gig for cents per mile, and I live in Philly, right in the middle of NYC and DC.

 

Sweatshops probably get paid more than driving cents per mile in the NE.

 

Did you ask yourself why it's by the mile and not the hour. Another dead end job. The only time you're making money is when your rolling,which won't be much compared to the rest of the day. Don't waste your time making money for them and not yourself.
