My Schneider Adventure

I run about 2800-3200 a week. We have consistent miles and runs. Pneumatic Tank pats more then I do because I'm an End dump driver. We don't search load boards and are paid empty and loaded miles plus surcharge. The fuel discounts are good as well. We typically make $1 a mile to the truck after fuel, insurance, and deductions.

 

Wow!!!

 

Very nice. I typically make about $.75 a mile after truck payment, fuel, insurance etc... Really good weeks & I can hit $1 a mile after all expenses but it's tough since I have a new truck.

 

That wasn't including truck payment. Just everything Oakley takes out.

 

So Schneider is going downhill for you?

 

I am an SNI company driver in the intermodal division in chicago. I pull 700-900 a week before taxes and i'll be honest, it's hard to live on that, even as a company driver with no truck expenses other than food. I am a fairly new driver, and to hear that the industry is already a shadow of what made me jump into it is pretty sad. I really hope I can make this a good move for my family, but it is looking less and less likely.

 

Try JB Hunt intermodal. I did it for a year or so and lover it. I worked regional for about 4 months then swapped over to local. I worked out of the Atlanta terminal bit I'm assuming they are the same as Chicago.

 

And I worked there about 4-5 years ago.

 

Do they have any team freight how does there program work
