Why The Schneider Hate?
Topic 19342 | Page 3
Can anyone here that works for Schneider tell me if their walmart dedicated accounts pay good?
I've got friends currently pulling doubles on a dedicated route for Schneider. They've been with them for three years now, since CDL school, and have repeatedly spoken of how well Schneider has treated them and the impact it's made in their lives. They'd be a top choice for my wife and I if it weren't for the fact that they don't offer a pet policy.
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.
Dedicated Route:
A driver or carrier who transports cargo between regular, prescribed routes. Normally it means a driver will be dedicated to working for one particular customer like Walmart or Home Depot and they will only haul freight for that customer. You'll often hear drivers say something like, "I'm on the Walmart dedicated account."
Doubles:
Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
Swift has what.. over 10k trucks on the road??
Try +22,000
...and we're in the process of merging with Knight. Should be wrapped up by Q3.
I see on Facebook or websites comments on truck company bashing no matter the name. I am heading out to St Paul, MInn. for a three day truck driving refresher course at a school out there which Schneider is having me to do before I go to Green bay for 18 days training and orientation, after that report somewhere? I hear the CPM is low compared to other companies and have been seeing online others stating .42-.52 CPM Maverick would not take me on because I did not have recent 3 years work history. Schneider took me on which I am happy, looking forward to learn the field & be professional with a GOOD Attitude :D BTW my friend knows a Schneider trucker who leases from them & I think now owns a truck from them and is very happy, I want to meet him & get his views.
Happy trucking everyone
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
