New Driver Pay First Year?? What can I expect?

I am going to get into trucking school soon. Probably a mega carrier for schooling. How much can I expect to earn if I go with a company like Schneider?

 

Depending on where you live I would suggest paying for school yourself and pick a company thats right for you. I know Tyson will hire after youve been through school and they do reimburse you for some of the cost you paid for the school.

 

You can probably drive 120,000 miles a year. Whatever the pay per miles is x 120,000 is going to be pretty close. The 120,000 miles a year is 10,000 miles month and 2,500 a week. If run hard you might average more per year. It also depends on if they have the freight and you got holidays. I think 120,000 miles a year is pretty close to what you can do per year

 

120,000 miles in a slow truck to nowhere, lol

Good luck! You sure as fluff ain’t getting no home time

 

@Cherokee65 drives for Schneider and could probably pm you some insight on pay in the beginning..

 

Schneider is the lowest paying company out there, unless you go with Schneider Tankers.
Don't choose Schneider unless it's with tankers.

 

Where is your location; state and nearest city/town or just the zip code. Give us this information and we'll help you get started. We need this information to know the hiring area you live in for companies.
Are you over 21 or 22 or 23 years of age?

 

It depends on which company, which type of trucking, and which terminal, and what time of year. A Big Mac is a Big Mac almost anywhere. But trucking companies are not identical. Heck, in tankers, different terminals doing the same job pay differently.

It's very important to find the job FIRST before you decide about where/how to go to school.

 

I attached a pic of the pay, there’s companies that pay less as well as more depending where you go… I average 140k miles a year 3k miles a week approximately , as a new driver expect a bit less miles due to learning curve.

 

How many miles a year do you drive ? Every one likes to say I can drive 3,000 miles a week but lots of stuff are out of your control
