    Hey, I am an experienced driver looking to (not right away but eventually) become a trainer.

    I have had bad trainers and I want to be a good trainer, not getting into it just for the money, but that is one of the benefits of it.

    When I do eventually get into training I will TAKE THE TIME to actually provide people with training, instead of simply wanting a steering wheel holder for more miles. That means backing up repetitively at truck stops, it means what needs to be done until the student can drive as good as I can or better.

    Right now i'm just researching ahead.

    What is Schneider's policy about training students, and how much do trainers make?

    I would be training as a company driver (not a lease driver).

    Would I get paid something per each mile the student ran (even as a company driver trainer instead of a lease-trainer)???

    Or would I only get like an extra $500 for training someone?

    Thanks.

    It's been a few years since I was a pumpkin so YMMV but when I was there you had to have at least 6 months a driver with SNI with no mishaps (accidents, service failures, etc). The truck is run as a solo truck (ie if the student is driving you are in the shotgun seat on line 4). Generally new drivers are with their TE (training engineer) for 2 weeks. I believe trainers make $30 or so a day (plus their ordinary mileage pay). There also is a bonus program based on how many of your drivers are still going at the end of six months. It's not going to make you very much if you do it right.
