@MSWS --
If you want to go tanker (and I sympathize with that)...and are looking for a carrier that will hire and train you (with limited experience) that is in the southern MS/AL/LA area, check these people out:
Foodliner Truck Driver Training | Careers | Foodliner
They have 2 locations in southern Louisiana (you can see them in the list here):
Contact Us | Foodliner | Bulk Food Transportation
Just some "food" for thought....

Hang in there, OP, something will come up... and be thankful you won't have to put up with any more BS from Schneider.

Man there was no chance of you seeing that 1000 per week. If you have to go on duty while loading/unloading just to get the hourly pay, it's a pretty good probability you would have burned up your 70 in 4 days.

2,100 miles ÷ 50 mph = 42 hours
2,100 miles × $0.38 per mile = $798
That leaves $202 to get to a thousand
$202 ÷ $15 per hour = 13.4666666667 hours
42 hours + 13.5 hours = 55.5 hours
If the miles were less that 2,100, which I expected them to be, I would need an increase in on-duty time to offset the difference.
But regardless of whether or not the two types of pay added up to $1,000, I was supposed to have the guarantee for almost five months. That was a huge selling-point. As long as I got my minimum, Schneider could run me however.
But I now realize they probably weren't going to honor that either, at least not for each second week out.LtlAnonymous, Opus, Another Canadian driver and 3 others Thank this. -
Were you the only one to bail on day 3 ?
