Example of Schneider tanker pay

I will start my day at 0200 in the morning I don't care, a lot drivers want to start at 7 am or something everyday. I'm sure that's nice but not my style. I'm guessing the get stuck with crap often. Often my boss will ask where I'm at and I'm like I'm their now or will be in few hours and they like dang already. I only do 64 mph but snbc gives too much time it seems from pu to delivery. I'm not into that. I did wait from 2 pm yesterday till 9 am today to deliver, but I didn't want to relay off in Charlotte, I wanted the 35 offload and 150 bucks fore miles finishing the load, I'm having a short week as I'm sitting on couch rte now so I needed the pay. It was not a good week anyways, I actually sit a lot to get this load headed towards home, o think I barely made 1k for 4 days. But I can't complain because they got me home when I needed. Some weeks are great some are not, I'm accepting and rolling on

 

I always try to relay every load because Schneider gives way to much time for me to get the load their. It's not their fault though, they have to do this because some drivers like taking their time and are even late delivering loads that I could have relayed off 20 miles Down the road from customer 24 hours early from appt time. Now of course some loads you just can't relay like when their is no operating center or tank wash anywhere around or in route and sometimes their is no drivers that can finish it. But I always start every load off with the mind set of I'm relaying this ##### off I just gotta figure out where and when and call and tell them. I try to stay away from asking and lean more into telling. If you ask and they are busy with other driver problems they are more likely to say I've tryed to get u a relay but we need you to stay on it. In reality they just said whatever to you to get off the phone and forgotten about. And this is nothing against any Dbl 's or anything because they get busy as crap most the times and have a lot drivers they are fixing problems with. I wouldn't trade my DBL for anything, we work great together and things go smoothly with him. We both get crappy attitudes with each other occasionally but later in the day or next time we talk we appologize sorta and it's back to normal business

 

Ok so been awhile since I posted anything and several people have asked what miles do I get so I've kept up with this week. I started Sunday at noon the beginning of the week and will finish tomorrow evening which will be Saturday the 19th.
So I I had a ruff week, 2 loads got cancelled or such well anyway this is what has happened.

My first load started in Charlotte TW to South Carolina to pu a pre loaded. to way up in New York to unload the. to Keasby TW (tank wash). It was 1,085 miles, unload pay plus 6.5 hours detention.. it took awhile. Then I got 2 days of layover pay.. it just happened this way and it sucked. Total pay 761.65

Ok now to my second load and last for the week that I will finish tomorrow, I'm 400 miles from Houston now. Started in Keasby TW to South philly to load to la Porte TX to Houston TW to be done. 1581 miles plus load pay no detention thank god and unload pay which hopefully no detention we still will have to see tomorrow this load payed 834.69 Add the two up for the week gross and it's
1596.34 maybe alittle more if unload sucks tomorrow. So had a horrible week and but still made descent but it should've been a 1800 dollar week for me, but stuff happens and that's just part of trucking. It's still descent money for 2 loads this week. I haven't had to do anything but drive, no loading or unloading at either these customers, only Netflix in the sleeper chilling getting paid for it so I'm not complaining. Could be worst and be in rubber suit because both my loads have been hazmat all week. I run em like any other ... wide open haha only 63mph truck but I get miles knocked out. Oh I forgot it was 2,666 paid miles for the week.

 

Na, im on 59 south now, bout to hit 12 in Hammond. Only like 200 miles empty, Charlotte to Greenville, Keasby nj to South philly and la Porte to Houston. So no more than 200 /220

 

Grrrrr, I only got 1600... ripped me off again..

 

I actually only sit for 34 hrs layover, the other on

so where do you sleep at the other nites
