Schneider

OK...I talked to a friend whose wife works for a company called JJ Keller out of Oshkosh, WI . JJ Keller is a data processing center who is contracted by SNI. What JJ Keller does is they take all the data, info and numbers from sales, Qualcomm box, fuel cost and etc etc etc .
They in turn process the information and feeds back stats and numbers to SNI. Anyway, according to the latest reports, SNI is deep in the red. 1st quarter was a loss and 2nd quarter is looking even worse.
One set numbers is the overall layover pay:
Average number of drivers sitting on layover per day 2000 X average cost per 24 hour period of $100.00 = $200,000.00 paid out to drivers sitting
EVERYDAY !!!!!!!! Look at the facts, 1800 per average right now. Now divide that by average 6 days working a week ( being that your out 2 weeks but home 2 days, Thats only 12 work days in two weeks)
You get 300 miles a day average. You will be sitting at least one day week. I will bet you the dispatchers will stretch your butt out where you sit 20 hours before giving you a load...just so you do not get layover pay

Look at the financial results:

Aging fleet of trucks, orders of new trucks & trailors are cancelled

Benefits are being cut. I think holiday pay was cut too.

Other companies have scaled back pay to drivers ... like Werner is .26cpm
SNI can not win these contract bid with drivers making .38-.42 cpm
So, SNI is now targeting seasoned vet driver making more than .40 cpm
to be eliminated to cut cost and hire lower paid drivers.

 

JJ Keller makes log books etc for the trucking industry --> In fact that is what I use.

Schneider just got a bunch of new shakers in -must be an older contract, but they are "urea" trucks +dpf.

 

dam irocbabe, its not that bad is it? i mean your still there...they must be doing somthing right to keep you there..i start orientation in dallas this sunday..they told me the drivers out of houston were doing about 1900-2200 a wk otr.

 

I never have nor will work for SNI, I am not that dumb.

My husband was. Was being the key word, he stopped working for them after 9 months of 400 a week average checks.
