Dedicated Route
Topic 27348 | Page 1
Care to expand on this a bit more?
Offered me a dedicated route , that's close to my home. I drive for 2 weeks home for 1 week and get paid straight salary every week around 1k a week with a bump in pay after 6 months on the route.... Since I have been out, I have never been late and when I didn't have an assignment, I aggravated the crap out of dispatch until they gave me one. Maybe that's part of it.

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."
Still with Schneider?
They have done me right so far... I have met a few people who complain about not getting loads, however they are usually sitting at an OC watching TV and not hustling for a load... In my opinion when you are first starting out at any job, you have to show them that you are there to work, then good things tend to follow.

Was recently offered a dedicated route that pays a salary, at first I was confused as to why they offered it to me. Since I haven't been here that long.
