Tankers the Schneider way

In a year you would be at .41 and that is all miles loaded or not. I have talked with chemical drivers from many companies, we all make about the same weekly we just get there differently.
I literally just finished a deadhead from Chicago to New Orleans that paid the same rate, at Superior that would have been a cheaper cpm.

Finally, as the boss of the bulk side said there is a difference between cpm and what a w 2 says at the end of the year. Meaning there are other ways. I make about a grand a week, and I am betting that you do to. Many of the drivers here are bit ticked off about that bonus though.
I am getting tired of hearing people try an explain it away, well you only get this much, if you do this is doesn't count...etc. It's still 7500 you didn't have before. I'll take it no matter how it's paid.

 

Glad I don't have to worry about bonuses or any of that garbage or split pay for loaded/empty anymore to make a very good check.

 

Then we almost mirror each other. Trust me when I say I have researched and talked to many companies. When I first started at Schneider I thought I would jump to a "real" tanker company. But after comparing I realized that everyone just about equals out in the end. I always say, give me a reason to leave Schneider. Haven't found one yet.

 

Another thing. I just happened to be unloading beside a Transport driver the other day at Valspar. Again we made the same amount of money but the way he was talking it seemed to me he was micromanaged. It even said on his, I don't know what you call it.....a driver report form I guess, that he could not show up more than thirty minutes early. Told me that his manager doesn't like it and has complained to him in the past. I thought that was crazy. Plus my truck was a lot nicer than his. Now I am not saying Transport is a bad company or anything but where is the motivation for me to jump? I get my miles, I get all the pay I am due and my boss literally never has to talk to me. As long as I don't hit anything, spill anything or show up late Schneider doesn't seem to know I exist and that's the way I like it.

Of course I can call in anytime and it feels like a small company, my boss knows my voice. I have only one boss and virtually everything that happens to me has to go through him. Works great for me. Again this is just me and what I like but I am not going to jump just because my cpm is lower. You only beat me by one penny by the way and we are getting a raise across the board this month so I may be beating you soon....lol

 

Lastly, if I ever did jump, Superior would be at the top of my list to call. You guys are a great company but your not my company.

 

Key word there is about. I have made over 1700 in one week. I am also not counting before taxes. When I say a grand I mean 1000 dollars gets deposited into my bank account.
