    I see Schneider advertising up to $81,000 a year for company bulk drivers. That's over $1500 a week. Is that true? Seems awful high for mega fleet pay.

    No its not true. They are advertising 'up to 63,000' and home weekly for dryvan guys, especially at my terminal and I asked our in house recruiter and she knew nothing about it. ETHOS was with Schneider for a long tome and he trained as well and he never made that.

    In my area they advertise "up to $75,000 per year (up to .48/mile)" Which would be 156,250 miles driven for a year at .48/mi. Now that is not including accessory pay which will lower the miles needed.

    That's 3000 miles/week for 52 weeks without accessory pay.

    Only 2600 miles/week for 52 weeks needed if accessory pay is $10,000/year. So if you never go home and do alot of tank loading and unloading maybe it's possible.

    It's all "lawyereze"...key words being "...up to...". Relieves them from stating a fact.

    Tanker is easy. Putting up with the #### at KAG is a whole different story.
