Schneider National---Seriously Considering Van Driving then possibly a lease purchase.

My experience with Schneider dates back to 2003 when I left for another company. So take this with a grain of salt.
I thought Schneider was a great newbie experience. They taught me safety and tolerated my stupid baby Schneider mistakes. They are a little rah rah about Schneider family esprit de corps yada yada but it was ok. They did a lot of nice things extra on driver appreciation besides just hot dogs and a free pen as do some companies.
Downside for me was the more I made per mile due to seniority the fewer miles I got. That was a pisser. Also no pet policy. Still it was a really good experience for me.

 

For getting back in the driver's seat, Schneider is a good choice. The current situation for the l/p deal is "stay in the midwest and don't have other bills to pay". If you can't do that I would recommend buying your own truck somewhere else rather than leasing one from sfi, the weekly bill is almost 2 grand (truck payment, mandatory maintenance, insurance, etc) before fuel. That said, it's pretty easy to make 4 grand gross a week if you want and people do succeed with families, house payments, etc.

 

you are incorrect

 

I was quoted $1200 before insurance.

 

Most guys report truck payment between 700 and 800, with plates, insurance, etc totaling out to 11-1200. Your 1200 quote was all in.

 

No. $1200 truck, plates, maintenance, before insurance. I find it funny that you think you're going to tell me what I was quoted.
