What is the deal with Schneider pay when you get into trucking?

So a little question I have about the pay at Schneider. For me that is who I have chosen to get into trucking with. I know that some will try to steer me away but just go with me on this because it is my life and my choice. So when I get out of the service and start getting my retirement check of about $3000 a month so I will be one step ahead of others just getting into the business. Meaning I won't struggle as bad as most will. Also I will be getting about $1173 a month in the military apprenticeship program, so now two steps ahead of most. The question I have is how much can I expect to make my first year working there. I am not stupid, I understand every pay check is different depending on the miles driven but realistically what can I expect to make if I am working a dedicated route of a intermodal route. Those are the two options that appeal most to my family and I. Just asking for a little insight and what I might be able to expect.

Thanks for your time

 

to be honest as a newbie, 40k. could be better could be worse. not sure what division you under at SNI. best of luck and i wish you a safe drive

 

I hope I wasn't misleading, I am not in it yet, still serving in the military and should/could be out next June. Just wondering what I could expect. Like in my post I want dedicated or intermodel. I am looking at Wisconsin, Oklahoma or even Alabama.

 

i know nothing of intermodal, i yank a flatbed. however thank you for your acvite service.

 

Not sure about intermodal or dedicated but my friend made just under $50k his first year at SNI but it was 6 months van and 6 months tanker. Van was lower 48 and tanker was southeast regional (home every weekend).

 

check the SNI foume and so some reading there, i dont work for them so i cant tell ya

 

That type of money would be pretty good. I have the other money coming in so I don't think it would be that bad. I like the home time thing so that is what I want to get. After over 24 years of service I would love to have the home time!!!!

 

Have you considered working for a military support contractor? You'd make twice the money and work half as hard. My oldest brother retires this year with his 2nd pension. If I knew about that stuff when I got out I sure would of went that route. His son got out a few years ago and is working for CECOM. He does very little and makes 6 figures with banker hours.

 

I have been offered some jobs in Aviation which I am working in and you are right they work bankers hours and do get paid a lot. After doing this for so long I am done with the military. Not saying that down the road it might suck me back in like it has done to a few friends that got out. The thrill of money and glamor was to much enticement and they came back. 24+ Years and I am DONE!!!! LOL

 

Lol I know what you mean. You'll enjoy trucking. My oldest brother works for Aviation Logistics Information Systems somewhere around Ft. Lee. Keep that in mind. They take good care of him.
