Net Pay for a Newbie

Net is really next to I.lossible to say, everyone's situation is different. Gross is what you should probably look for then you can figure out your tax burden and whatever else and that will leave you with your net.

As long as you stay away from the bottom feeder companies, your first year should likely gross between $35k and 45k, but even that is a wide range becuase there are too many variables to give you a good estimate. Others may take a different guess.

 

@Thull can probably give you some real numbers for schneider bulk. I can tell you from first hand experience that I made just about $38k (looking at my w2) in schneider van from April 6th to end of year. So far in 2017 I'm at 10500 through the pay period that ended past Saturday, so in 11 months I'm at what? 48500? Should be right on track of 54k a year.

One of the guys I trained with went to tmc and quit about 6 months later because he wasn't bringing home over $600 a week anymore. But that's one guys story that he told me, not first hand experience.

Either way, good luck out there

 

Pretty much for most as a new driver... Van; reefer; Flats etc. Tanker may bring a little more, but with a good solid safe year under your belt, you can increase that pretty quick, kind of like Friday is pointing out.

As with anything in life, the more proficient you are, the better things get.

Like it or not, new drivers tend to makes some wrong turns and get lost a lot quicker than an experienced driver... This costs money in lost time etc. Just one example, but get started and you should be fine sooner rather than later.

 

Yes I currently work for Schneider bulk. I started May 23, 2016 & filed taxes from 2016 (7 months) on right at 28K

 

I started with Swift Transportation but only stayed a month due to I had a baby on the way & wanted to be home more. Also those numbers I gave you I should mention that I'm a regional driver & home on the weekends. So if you are OTR you can make more.
