    But if you do like 3,800 miles a week and add in your extras and....yeah talked to a company driver who's company advertises driver salaries of $70K per year, and the reason he's looking at my company, lack of miles.

    Man trucking companies should be looked at by the FTC for all of the recruiting lies they tell lol

    There is key phrase in those ads.

    It says "up to" in small print.

    "Yes but 0.36 a mile sucks lol, I know I can do the owner op thing and be successful, I'm just trying to figure out where I can get the truck I want and make the most I possibly can"

    You need at least 12 months verifiable experience before even to be considered for the program.
    Plus other requirements. It is much harder now than before.
    I still can't get in. And I am working for Schneider...

    I was informed by my SFI Rep the other day in Charlotte that they are being very picky now who they approved to come on to this program because so many have come on and within 2 months turn the truck back yet so they're trying to but the brakes on that mess for the most part
     
    freightwipper and 48Packard Thank this.
