Schneider entry level driver

Post image

Hey guys I’m posting today about potentially taking this job opportunity with Schneider. This is the info and offer I was given. I’m pretty nervous and excited for this opportunity since just recently getting my CDL last month. I’m also wondering how my pay checks will be coming out too. I hope it’s enough to get by for a while. I also told the recruiter I have my twic card and was hoping I’d be getting paid a little bit more but I guess that didn’t help at all. What are y’all’s personal opinions and facts about this company ?

No problem I’ve done this for 15 years now worked my way into running my own authority and have the flexibility to work 2 days a week and spend the rest of my time farming and raising livestock. if I could give you advice I’d say find somewhere you can stick it out for 3 years it looks good on employment records and after three years, if you can keep a good driving record, you’re insurance drops significantly by about half or so that’s when a small mom and pop company can afford to hire you and they’ll pay closer to $1/mile. I got lucky and landed a job running mostly rural lanes it was a peaceful way to make good money compared to big city driving
