I would like to restart with Schneider

I dont think it will be as low as that. .34 or so with a possible .02 premium for northeast drivers(used to anyway for ne regional drivers)

 

if chosen boots are issued at orientation. was $25? 4 years ago. after that every year they will pay for a new pair. driver portal has a link thst directs you to the boot place.

uniforms not required unless you are bulk or on certain dedicated accounts. shirts are issued for those at no cost.

you choose to purchase thats on you.

reach certain anniversary points,stuff is issued no cost. years 1,3,5,10 etc...

 

kingpin lock. thats a required purchase. cost deducted over several checks

 

Boots at orientation are 35 bucks deducted, kingpin is 60 deducted over 4 pay periods.

 

No amenities but I've heard some of the newer trucks have inverters. Most drivers carry a coleman cooler. They are pretty good. The trucks are well maintained. I like your reasons for choosing Schneider

 

All new trucks are coming in with factory installed 1500 watt inverters. Need to come aboard and look through their wattage chart before you go buying things. This is assuming of course that you get a new truck during onboarding.

 

I didn't see anything in there about 'bulk'. The ad says it could be be for van, flatbed, reefer, etc.. It is my understanding that these drivers would be moving anywhere in the country to fill in for other drivers on vacation, drivers that called in sick after eating a cheeseburger, or maybe where they just need additional drivers.

I know that 'up to $1450' rate is dependent on experience to an extent, but seriously, the lower your pay rate is the better deal it is for you since the stipends are a set amount. If you are a driver that is only grossing $800 a week and someone offers you a 50% raise for your 4th week out and longer, are you going to decline it?

I'm still hoping to get on with Schneider but my training is not going very well at all. They have openings at a location that is close to me and fits my desired schedule perfectly. I'm also interested in their Choice program but doing that would be somewhat dependent on the economy, which isn't doing so well. That 'National Dedicated' opening provides good money for a 6 month CDL holder with zero risk and that would be a great alternative if I would decide against trying the Choice program.
