My issues with Schneider were never with the money. I made over 80 grand a year as a 2 year CDL newbie running local rail containers.
My issues were with slip seating, short wheelbase day cabs combined with spring ride chassis, and a certain terminal manager who shall remain nameless. We had words more than once.
My issues were also with wipers that didn't work with cruise control and that Bendix system that panic brakes and sends a message to dispatch every time it sees tumbleweed.
If none of that would apply to you, I highly recommend the company, especially starting out.4mer trucker and John Joel Glanton Thank this. -
Coke is hiring. $27 an hour. Beer drivers are making 300-500 a day. Of course a dozen guys are out with injuries at the moment. Nature of the job. -
Basically it boils down to XPO buys. They don't build. They've never started a trucking company from scratch, they've just bought failing ones. Then they think they can do better but don't, at least from the driver's perspective.
Their bottom line is probably excellent.surf_avenue and John Joel Glanton Thank this. -
