Example of Schneider tanker pay

Ive tried that before at other companies, it never worked out in my favor.

Dont get me wrong, schneider is a good company to work for, but it all depends on your dispatcher. I have had guys telling me they were sitting at terminals for 3-4 days. Dispatch can make or break you at any company.

For me, schneider is better than the company i started right after i got my cdl. I was driving van for a small co. running paper logs, truck breaks down it was "my fault", expense reimbursment was a nightmare.

I would still recommend schneider to someone starting out, but dont expect a 19d paycheck right out of the gate.

 

First of all - many thanks to all for the replies ! All i have to go by is Recruiter Info - thats why i am asking here to get others opinion.

110% agree with the dispatch make or break statement - that is with any industry though - not just tied to trucking

Looking around on here, i do see as some do not get the miles/pay that @19d does .... I Am Not expecting that type pay starting out. ... HowEver,
1. HomeTime Issues i am seeing
2. Sitting at terminals 3-4 days ---- ??? what ??
3. OTR Driver not really leaving the area.
4. Bulk OTR Driver doing lotts of Drop/Hook (from earlier post) - and is affecting the paycheck

Seems like it is sort of a crap shoot on whether you get dispatched or not - from one's terminal location.

 

4. should have read Bulk OTR Driver doing lotts of Drop/Hook locally. and is affecting the paycheck.

@19d
If they are not dispatching OTR after drop/hook (locally) and want you to stay near the terminal, and also dictate HomeTime - this is opposite of how i have read that you run out of your terminal.

 

@19d
Thinking more on this - I do not know if maybe these other drivers do not have all certs (TWIC, NALCO, X , etc, etc etc...) - maybe some of the others would be willing to share - maybe not?

But you have stated that you have heard from Savannah Terminal (I think?) kinda the same ... just gathering info here is all ... SNBC is still on my list - just moved down after reading what others post about their pay. and how the operation is ran.

 

That would be me..lol

 

I moved from regional to OTR because of that(more money). But I have been making less money.
