No recent experience but I have a year with Schneider

I want to get back into trucking. When I first left I had the wrong mindset and didn't want to work very hard. Now that I'm familiar with the lifestyle and other various rules and ways to protect myself, legally and from the bad DBL's, I had a few questions for more informed pumpkins. I drove for Schneider for 1 year and quit, voluntary resignation, as they put it.

So one of the things I wanted to know is what is to expect in terms of cpm for regional or full OTR staying out 1-2 months at a time. Also I want to avoid doing the refresher course as I heard bad things and rather not be tied to them for 3 months.

What kind of tractor am I going to get as a returning driver? Its been 6 years since I left. I remember in 2011 they gave me a dirt covered #### bucket that had no power steering until I switched to 4 on 4 off.

Also have the DBL's and night support become any better in recent times?

 

I called and they said with my experience of a year that my cpm would be 40-49cpm. i find it hard to believe but it was a Schneider recruiter. And theres a no eastern area regional spot, im in the chicago area. sounds pretty good but im not gonna hold my breath.

 

sounds pretty dank. when i worked before i was making 27cpm so big difference. looking forward to it.
