Example of Schneider tanker pay

You don't have to have twic but I recommend having it, and also hazmat before ever going to work pulling tanks. I rarely use my twic card but every now and then I have to show it. It's usually down in Louisiana or somewhere, I've actually had to show it over by San Francisco too

 

Oh yea.. if I could get salary plus cpm I would do that

 

Okay - i better understand your truck parking situation now.- just did not know if that was Schneider making you park at that location.

Maybe think of that 2.5 hours as commute time to/from a job. ?

The job i am working right now (Construction, Non CDL), my commute time is right at 2 hours to and from the jobsite each day Mon-Fri. ... 10 hrs commute weekly
When i worked offshore, 7 on 7 off - the commute was 4.5 hours one way .

Of course, if you are having to park your own car in a not-so-good location for 10 days - that would suck.

 

Well I'm supposed go back to work tomorrow but I looked at assignments and it was like 4 trailer moves around Charlotte, I called in and said this don't work for me cause it's like 6 hours of work for no money at all.. I was told their over booked and need me to do this.. I replyd back well I don't work for free I want be in Monday . More to follow later on.. now this is weekend crew that does the planning.. but they gotta be smoking something to think I'm work for free.. they can go #### themselves lol

 

So are you company driver or other? Just wondering if a company driver can turn down assignments like that.

 

I'm company, it want a load.. it was a lot on bs

 

Your supposed to do assignments, but I'm not working for free, somebody called saying they were from Green Bay .. blah blah.. I told em I didn't care if they from outer space I'm not working for no money. I was told my assignments would be fixed shortly.. so we will see

 

Maybe they thought you were Regional and not OTR ?
This is good info for me to be able to see if this is a Company I wanna go with.

Not making excuses for them - UnAcceptable in my book also...I Totally Agree - Not working for free
What they want to pay? Like $20/move to you for local?

 

I don't get anything cause the trailer moves were all in Charlotte, same zip code.. would be 0 miles for 3 pre trips plus driving and 3 post trips.. but I refused and now I'm doing what makes since.. grab a empty in Charlotte an take it to SC 90 miles away and drop and pick up a loaded to take up to New Jersey... you just can't let these companies take advantage of you at all or they will... I haven't let them not one time so far and will not ever.. this was weekend crew that dispatched me the trash.. I never have this is my driver manager is in duty.. so I don't hold it against nobody

 

But a otr driver should not have to call in on his last day off to say I'm not working for free..
