I got scheduled for my training in 3 weeks with Schneider, dedicated CA AZ NM. Touch freight paying me $175 per day, no experience. I already have my cdl. And I just got local offers driving straight trucks paying me $150 per day plus overtime home daily. What would you do?

I'd take the buck and a half. You'll drop $25 a day more or less on the road.
I'd hem up what overtime pay looks like and when it begins (probably after 40 hours), but yeah, I'd take the local gig -
For the local gig what is the opportunity for wage growth? If in 5 years you will only be making $160 a day, then go to Schneider, get some experience and look for career advancement.

What does that mean.
Are you paid by the hour,or is it a salary job.
Sounds like a 750 a week salary job to me.
Wouldn't count on any overtime no matter
What they say.
They put that 150 per day there for a reason.
Too keep from paying overtime.
There's no other reason.
If the job required less than 40 hours,they would
Just pay you by the hour.
So let's say 750 a week gross.
After taxes,health insurance, and any other deductions,
You got 625 bucks in your pocket. Per week.
You can't afford your own apartment in a major city.
Don't forget to add in the time it takes to commute
Back and forth everyday,and take x amount out of
You check for gas everyweek.
In a year you'll still make box truck money.
In a year with Schneider you'll make twice as much.
And if your greedy, you can get even more money
From someplace else.
Start at the top, get the experience in a big truck,
Then go down to a box truck if you want too.
Those box truck jobs are always gonna be there.
Only one problem with my suggestion.
Once you get used to class A money, you
Won't even consider that box truck again.Last edited: Aug 15, 2019
