Starting Pay For Schneider
Topic 11010 | Page 2
I am reading it as no less then 48k and no more then 65k
You CAN earn $48,000 - $65,000, depending on experience and location.
I'm reading it as the keyword being "can". It does not say "will" or "guranteed to" make. I believe "can" means the same thing as "potential to" make here.
I think Errol was closer to accurate with saying you should expect to make around $40,000.
I thought the same thing lolErrol your new avatar is disturbing to look at. In a word, creepy.
Oh yeh, .37/mile once out of training with regular raises.

Hello I will be getting my CDL license on 11/06/15 road test day and Schneider has already given me a conditional job offer I have applied for a region position home weekly and next Wednesday I have a big phone interview/call with the recruiter to talk about the positions and pay but I would like to know if anyone has inside knowledge of the starting pay the minimum I found on there website was $48,000 a year and then all the way to $65,000+ being that I have no experience I assume I would be starting At the lowest pay but I would like to know if the $48,000 is where I would most likely be starting out at? Thank you in advance for any and all help!!!
Hi, I thought for months that Schneider was whom I was starting with but after alot of research and finally catching some of their drivers stopping at different places to eat it really changed my out look on that company. The drivers had nothing good to say about the company and nothing good about the trucks they were given to drive. I had my questions pre paired ahead of time just in case I ever caught a driver to get their feedback. Yes I to went as far as having the phone interview and got their pre hire letter offer. First off your pay is 28CPM with a 31 CPM safety bonus paid every quarter. The newbie sign on bonus is $1000 paid out over a years time so let's break down down to about $81 dollars a month so an extra $25 bucks per week. WHOOPIE!!!! You are not allowed much idle time and their trucks do not have APU's in them to give you better comfort and to run a regular mini frigerator and regular appliances to fix your meals in and a microwave. All of those comforts really matter to a driver is is going to be out at 2 weeks or more at a time. So do alot of research on company's. This site gives you alot of knowledge but you have to put in the time reading their articles and input from the very experienced drivers on this site. I find that Roehl is a great company and hires you right out of school. Of course your motor vehicle report and background check also determines if they offer you a position. Good luck on your search.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
Pre Hire:
What Exactly Is A Pre-Hire Letter?
Pre-hire letters are acceptance letters from trucking companies to students, or even potential students, to verify placement. The trucking companies are saying in writing that the student, or potential student, appears to meet the company's minimum hiring requirements and is welcome to attend their orientation at the company’s expense once he or she graduates from truck driving school and has their CDL in hand.
We have an excellent article that will help you Understand The Pre-Hire Process.
A Pre-Hire Letter Is Not A Guarantee Of Employment
The people that receive a pre-hire letter are people who meet the company's minimum hiring requirements, but it is not an employment contract. It is an invitation to orientation, and the orientation itself is a prerequisite to employment.
During the orientation you will get a physical, drug screen, and background check done. These and other qualifications must be met before someone in orientation is officially hired.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.APU:
Auxiliary Power Unit
On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.
Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.

Did you expect to make the whole $7,000. Extra money is extra money. .28 starting out seems to be around average from what I read and understand
