Questions about Schneider's training and pay

Abilene has a terminal in Wytheville, right off I-81 near the Pilots

Regional Wytheville | Abilene Motor Express

 

I know you have a lot of answers. He is probably within the hiring area of Tyson Foods. They will put him with a trainer for 6 weeks or so. They start anove .34cpm. Not sure what it is and not sure what the pay is while he is with a trainer. Good company to work for. He might even be able to get on a regional gig with them.

 

Last thing first, Schneider will arrange for transportation from the house to orientation and then back home afterwards.

From the pay structure it sounds like he is slated for a dedicated account. As you said, mileage is straight forward, paid on practical dispatched miles. The hourly pay is for every minute logged on line 4 - pre trips, post trips, feelings, loading, etc. The shipment pay is for each load. My guess is he will average 5.5 day work weeks, sitting at $1,250 to $1,500 a week starting out.

Orientation is 3 weeks. Week one is a lot of hard skills and an introduction to soft skills, week 2 is a big focus on soft skills and sharping hard skills, week 3 is applying those skills on the road with a TE.

Schneider has the best new driver training program in the industry. It's a solid place to get started and some of us have found a (mostly) happy home.

Any specific questions, just ask.

 

Feelings?

Paid....for feelings?

Feelings -- the song

Sounds like a pretty sweet gig to me......

Yes, feelings. If Schneider is making me feel emotions, I log that on line 4 and get paid.

 

Plus most would want to continue with the Teamsters.

 

I knew this would happen........

 

and who else would you expect it from? @Frank Speak ? That 300YO undead ain't had any feelings in probably 210 years.....

 

in what way does this answer the specific question(s) posed by her? hmm?

personally I received solid training and was set up to be a safe solid driver. What was your experience with SNI?
