    Schneiger - .34 cpm +.02 performance / 3-4 stops per load / $10 per stop / $40 per LD / 100% touch (roller racks not lifting) / 2000 mil/wk / home weekends or about / no slip seating / It's been said this account makes about $950/wk (50k/yr). The company seems stable and from all the opinions I've seen a decent company if you want to settle in and stay a while.

    USXpress - Kroger account discussed on here. I just don't know about that company and I believe they are primarily automatics. One guy said his friend pulled $64k (1200/wk) off this one, I mean #### that's pretty good for rookies and getting home "everyday". All slip seating.

    One thing I've learned is companies will promise you the world to get you to work for them. For me, money talks and BS walks.

    Is that Kroger deal pallet pull off or hand unload. I've done Kroger accounts and they were all pallet pull offs.
    I'd go with US Express on this one.

    Well didn't know you were doing family dollar. For the work and pay, not worth it. Intermodal side can make that and mostly drop and hook. Us express. Don't like otr?

    I thought about switching over to family dollar when I was with schneider, but the pay is what really stop me. I use to dolly soda and did food service for awhile, and got paid good for it. Only good thing about family dollar is practicing tight ally way docks and having a good workout.

    Of course everybody financial is different so if he things the money is worth it, then it's worth it. Me on the other hand, did those jobs before so my experience is different
