    #### they've been hammering me with recruiting flyers. Get home after a few weeks out and I have two letters begging me to come back. I don't miss the micro managing one bit. Only way I'd come back to Schneider is if I want to get intermodal experience but even then don't know if I even want to deal with these rail yards in Chicago.

    #### that, they don't pay by the hour. In Ohio they pay local drivers $50 a load plus 26cpm. I don't think I could deal with that pay rate with Chicago traffic, waiting on chassis repairs, and such. I drove around with a trainer/local driver in Chicago for a day during orientation and he said that they sent him out to Fort Wayne, Indy, and Iowa a lot..

    The bread and butter is apparently running those "crosstowns" from rail yard to rail yard in Bedford Park, Cicero, Hodgkins, etc. No more than 10 miles per run lol.

    In Chicago they pay $39 a load plus $6 performance pay = $45 load and .32 - .40 cents a mile depending on how long you've been with them, $15. a chassis flip, $20 xtra for live load, $40 xtra a load over 99 miles called short haul.
    I can make anywhere from $220-$350 a night. I work nights because you can make more money then working days because 1. no traffic. 2. no wait at the rail yards. 3. 90% drop & hook (because live load places are closed.) I make more money working 4 days nights then someone on days working 6 days.
     
    Bo Hunt and milehunter43 Thank this.
