    Ive decided to go with Schinder because they do not require a refresher course and they said that I would only be with a trainer 2 weeks, and they will put me on dedicated accounted and be home weekends. I am schedule to do a more indepth interview tomorrow with a recruiter. Having said that, I don't get how they put on the web sight that new drivers usually earn $50,000 a year. Starting me out at .30 a mile, how is that possible? Unless there is a bunch of bonus or I forgot to carry the two or something.

    Do you get stop pay?I got paid stop pay,but the first one was always free,for some reason.
    I figured you could do what you want at the first stop,since it was free :biggrin_25513:
    Don't know any drivers that made 50g first year there.
    Hold them to the dedicated,and home time.Sometimes that rug gets yanked,once you get to
    orientation.What dedicated acct.?Stay away from TIRES!!!

    It ain't the math DDOC, --- it's the spellin'. :smt045
    Try Schneider -- instead of Schinder or Schnidier.:redface:
    If you don't think it matters if you spell their family and company's name correctly,
    your paychecks just might be made payable to DCOD and require a photo ID with a name
    that ain't your's just to cash 'em.
    :sad1:
    You'd have 50 one-thousand dollar paychecks issued by a Big truck truckin' company that doesn't exist made payable to a person who doesn't exist. :smt104
    Then, you'd have to have your name changed to match the name on the paychecks issued by a fictitious Big truck truckin' company .
    :smt087
    Considerin' what a hassle all that'd be, --- I'm thinkin' it'd probably be easier to just remember how to spell the name of your employer, ... correctly ..........

    I didn't work for Schneider, but I did haul several tire loads from that plant just East of Nashville. It wasn't too bad. The loads going to the Carolinas, the receiver unloaded. The ones going to Phoenix, AZ I just rolled them out the rear of the trailer and let them hit the ground which is what the receiver wanted. Don't know about the other customers.

    Add in short haul pay, bonus, standard first year pay raises, $50K is doable in the first year if you work at it. When I started 4 years ago I made $42K and change, starting 3 cpm lower, not being bonus eligible for the first 6 months, and having fewer, smaller raises.

    That said I thought the $50K was referencing average driver pay. Most of the new driver figures I've seen are $38-42,000.

    Ask the recruiter about "accessorial pays" that really jack up the paycheck on top of milage pay.
    I worked for a company in Tennessee and made .36 cents per mile, but my annual pay was $65K due to accessorial pays.

    Chances are the add said "up to 50k" which means you won't make that until after 2-3 years.
