I've had several new cdl graduates and some thinking about going to work for SNBC pulling tanks message me with many good questions. I have tryed to answer all and share what I think can help them. Some ask about pay and I can only really show you what I do at Schneider as pay go's. So here go's.

I'm a new driver with only a year experience and have only drove for Schneider only so I'm not sure what's great pay or horrible pay but I seem to do ok so far. I went to Schneider to get the tanker training most of all but things have turned out pretty good their. So if I ever change company's it will be due to closer to home I believe, pay seems to be not that bad. But again I don't have experience to compare to any other places since I've only driven here at snbc.

I'm posting 3 pictures of my pay, which will represent my last hitch over the road. I was out a total of 18 days straight, i didn't have to do 18 days straight but I had a break down and I get daughter once month so this is just how it worked best this hitch. In these 18 days working I didn't work 4 of them due to break down or layover. So only 14 of them I was actually driving and working. Hope this makes since.. I make 46 cents per mile, I thought I was at a higher cpm, but I just realized I'm not.. only 46, which I've been told isn't bad for a driver to start out at right after cdl school. Once again I'm not sure on this due to I'm a rookie. My cpm is for every mile, loaded, empty and bobtail.

I hope this makes since to anybody thinking bout snbc, if just ask and I will clarify the best I can.

The 1st pic is of my first 7 days out
The 2nd is of the next 7 days
The 3rd is only 4 days out of pay. I came home yesterday to take off 4.

I'm sure their probably is better pay at other company's, or what have you. So I don't recommend nor talk down about snbc. I can only show you my experience with them as a new cdl holder. My biggest complaint is I wish my truck went faster than 63mph.. This sucks.. Oh yea, I'm in the per diem at snbc, so they take 2 cents of my pay away from me and I get my 63 dollar tax break every day vs getting it at the end of the year. So I'm only getting payed for 44 cents per mile since they take 2. I really not sure if I like this or not. If was not in the per diem I'm guessing my paychecks would be about 40 bucks a week higher or something like that.

So the total for my 18 days out, 14 days of working with 4 days layover pay due to breakdown or reset was
$ 3,440.95. I usually do alittle better than this but this is how things went this hitch., can't always be great weeks

Wow 4 days layover? I hope they pay you something for that. That would drive me nuts sitting for that long.

Still following along. I've been busy getting my things, my family, and my home ready for the school and me transitioning into driving. I've also installed a new beehive. With 6 days off a month, I can work my bees so I don't have to give that up. The missing out on hunting has me sweating bullets, but I'm sure I can figure something out or transition to a gig with better home time after I get the experience built up.

It seems like it's a hand to mouth existence or working so many hours for a company you don't have time to relax.

I relax plenty, every nite for 10 hours or more.. I like my weekly pay checks at 1500 so I do run hard when I'm out. I just relax when I go home for 3 or 4 days straight. But when out working that's all I'm about is work. It does take a toll some times.. Right now I'm tired but it's almost 11pm and time to drive 500 miles to Pittsburg.. easy peazy

out those 18 days I did like 2 resets and was broke down for 2 days, so it was 4 days of layover pay I received. It not had broke down mybpay would've been 500 dollar higher for the 18 days total

So if you do a reset, you get layover pay?

Yeah but it's not enough money to mean jack.. it's only 65 dollars.. but it covers your meals while you layover I guess. Needs to be around 140 I believe
