Schneider, Ctl, Superior

My superior guy drives a 2016 Mack. This is his 2nd truck since he's been there and it was new when he got it. He gets about 2000 miles per week but gets more money cause of hazmat. He gets paid for fueling and pumping and basically any on duty time.

My Schneider friend got her CDL at prime then went to Atlanta for the tanker training. I want to point out that the estimates of $800 per week stated above is GROSS... meaning taxes and insurances need to come out. Depending on what you choose... that could be a few hundred dollars difference. She has a 2015.

No offense but trying to drive hazmat tanker right away might not be the way to go. It's learning ugh learning without the surge and hazmat issues.

I'm currently with Schneider Bulk Division. I've been here for 3 months now. I can tell you that their training is GREAT & very THOROUGH. You will learn ALOT over the course of 2-3 weeks: yes there is a Bulk training center in PA, one in Houston, & I forget where the other one is. But yea $800 gross is VERY possible. I myself have had like 2 or 3 weeks where I grossed $1000. If you put in the work you can make decent money in the Bulk Division.

Woooooooo (ric flair voice) Thanks for that insight because i was getting kinda of scared, if u dont mind me asking what is your average miles a week? do you go home every weekend or do you keep running? What year is your truck and did you get to pick your truck or was it already assigned to you. The accessory pay does it really equal to about 30% of your weekly gross? Where do you usually unload and haul for the most part. I know you stated you have been with them for 3 months, do you see yourself staying with them the full year or after? Last ? What made u choose snb out of all the other companies?

1750 is the average miles, I go home Every Friday @ 18:00 sometimes earlier & return Sunday @ 06:00, my truck is a 2015 Freightliner Cascadia automatic, yes the accessorial pay does equal about 30% if not more, we unload at most plants & water treatment places then when your done unloading you take the tank to the tank wash. I can definitely see myself staying here for a full year for sure. I love it so far. I chose Schneider because like yourself I didn't have many choices & they were the first to reply & didn't hesitate to get me on board so I rolled with it. Not regretting my decision what so ever. They pay .40 cent a mile, $25 loading pay (which you most likely will NEVER load) $35 unloading pay. $20 trailer shuttle (moving an empty trailer to another location) & $50 bulk short haul (hauling a loaded trailer a short distance) I think maybe 200 miles & under? Not sure.

$10/hr detention pay after the 2nd hour after your appt time, $65 a day layover I believe. I forgot how much breakdown pay was

Hey all. Doing a refresher later this month so I can sign up for Schneider National. A year ago I got my CDL but wanted to spend some time doing more research and well SNI seems like the place to start. I would train in Phoenix, AZ. Not sure what it is like down there. Guess I will start with Dry van and once I make the move to the midwest (something I've been wanting to do) I will look into Tanker/Bulk (if that is the same thing). Seems like most SNI drivers like it.

No I didn't choose m my truck it was chosen for me. But I would say you have about an 80% chance of getting an automatic since their whole fleet is moving to them. If you do get a manual & would like to switch to an auto I'm pretty sure they would switch it out for you unless it was the ONLY truck available. & yes you will haul hazmat loads in the beginning. I actually had my first poisonous load today. Qualcomm said driver must have 1 year experience to load/deliver product. Obviously I don't have that 1 year experience so I call extended since it was after hours. They told me I was put on this load be cause I was the only driver in the area with the hours to get t delivered. They told me it was not uncommon for this to happen if they don't have the drivers. So I went there, put on all my PPE & did everything the way I was trained to & what do you know...I had a safe, spill free delivery & I didn't hit anything. Just take your time no matter what & never get in a rush,....you will do just fine.

..........SCHNEIDER is ready to put me on a plane, but my last resort. so my main question is what would you guys do in my situation. Momma always said a bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush, but i wanna make sure its the best bird and a good one, so i can eat for a long time if u know what i mean...................The black Rick Flair....wooooooooooo

Oh and whats really the lown down on scneidrr bulk if i have to go that route and there training in PA

Schneider has proven to be a reputable organization to me repeatedly over the past couple of years. I have driven Regional , Lower-48, Team, and Dedicated all within that time. I can state assuredly that if you do not like what you are doing with them, they will allow you to change.

In my opinion it's better to go with a company that has a reputable training program, is safety conscious, and is flexible. I'd rather sacrifice a few .cpm in the beginning for the peace of mind that comes from these things.

Keep in mind the pay is more but the miles are less. He drives about 2000 per week. Also... he is not given a route. Just local directions.. which means you need to learn the routes you can drive. Just think of how many roads you need to circumvent due to tunnels and cities. ..parts of PA turnpike for one and 95 in MD come to.mind. if you are not paying close attention... you can really screw yourself. I would imagine this would be one reason why rookies shouldn't start out hazmat.... learning to read signs and understand them... learning what roads are permissible is a major factor.

One cool thing is he can fuel where ever he wants. At prime they give us a route and tell us where to fuel. If I want to go someplace in particular like fuel my reefer at 5he TA I'm spending the night I need to ask.
