    Thanks to all for their feedback. No I haven't signed on yet.
    Still doing my homework.
    Even for a rookie, .50 to .54 per mile for crude transport seems very low doesn't it?
    A dangerous job too.
    Not sure that I want this oilfield job.

    Schneider is offering me .50 to .54 per mile to transfer crude. Is this very low pay in the oilfield?

    that answer was given, 50cpm is very decent pay. I would of loved to see that, I started out at 25cpm and worked my way up, now I average about 46cpm and I stay within a 250 mile radius and home 2 nights a week so im happy with what I got.

    I know with me during the busier part of the season I am hitting 3k+ a week, during the slow time like right now im getting 2500 average. Soon I will be getting some Vegas stores and will be getting over 3k a week and still getting 1-2 days off a week.

    Same old question still applies. How many miles? What is your time worth? Is 60 miles worth $30. Break it down further. 60 miles in a tractor trailer with traffic / unloading at site. wheels no turning no pay or after 2 hours detention time, Screw off, I'm a truck driver not a mathematician :biggrin_2559:

    50-60 cents a mile sounds great.

    Good Luck.
