I'm here because you have to go through some jobs to find out what you are really good at doing, for me its always been driving a truck. Driven enough class B vehicles for a while but with little money earned. I also have a tremendous respect for truckers and this forum will help like it has helped you in other ways. I hope I can contribute my new experience good or bad to help give insight to this respected occupation on a drivers point of view to others. Starting my career as a truck driver, Had my CDL for six yrs, and now really thinking about doing it for real and its a very realizing experience for me being out there loll. Graduated from CDL School and because of my little exp with no OTR time, I found it very difficult to get a regional position where I could get home every weekend. (Dont laugh!) Schneider is taking me on but cannot guarantee home time every weekend they will try but from what I have been reading about dispatchers I doubt it but will be home after 2 weeks being out I hope. $460 a week after training then I will get .28c a mile. Gees! 28 cents that is low but I understand I have to start somewhere. I have till Thursday to get back with them if I want the job for them to schedule me for training I'm really thinking if I should go with this Company any feedback is much appreciated and will keep you posted on my progress.. Thank you in advance be safe.... Stunt... Houston, TX

Welcome to the forums. Check out the Schneider sub-forum if you haven't already:

You're correct that everybody has to start somewhere and you might not get everything you want right off the bat. Tough it out for a year or two, take care of your license, and you'll really be in the driver's seat after that. Good luck!Stunt Thanks this. -
