.26 cpm HHG and not paying for empty miles is highway robbery. I have heard of buying the kingpin lock rather than issue a lock as a negative but not paying for empty miles?

Could a Schneider driver verify this? Is this something new?

Ouch, I work for swift and I even got better out of swift when I started. Got payed mty miles, and the only stipulation about bringing the truck home is that I could find a place to park it.

The best company to work for is Crete. They pay you a hell of a lot more as a new driver (.33cpm) for NO EXPERIENCE. .26 geez they are just using students. For 1 year of experience you get .41cpm. The big 5 are the WORST companies to drive for. you are just a driver code and truck number.

I was looking over Crete's site and they do look like they have something to offer. Yeah, they require hazmat but I'm looking to get that anyway. Just looks like with everyone dropping their endorsement it will be a valuable commodity even if I don't need it. As far as if I leave will depend on how much swift straightens up since Jerry is back at the helm.

I work for Schneider, been with them since December of last year. It is funny that someone can say something on these boards and many people actually believe everything they hear (or read).

Schneider pays empty miles....I pull Walmart trailers and I have triple checked my pay stubs and they pay all miles you drive.

Intersesting that some people that claim to know about SNI.........but never worked for SNI. Especially the .26 starting pay. Its .28 for new guys, and .29 for licensed but no experience drivers.

As for much revered Crete or CFI or any of the larger carriers I could go to any truck stop and find anyone who works for SNI, HUNT, Crete, CFI etc etc and will get equal amounts of praise and equal amounts of frustration.

Anyone who has ever asked "why do they do keep doing this?" about their company has never worked for the govt. before. Because if they did , it would all make sense, and you wouldnt have to ask. :P

i don't know who told yall that schneider wont bobtail you more than 150 miles....hmmm i bobtailed from uxbridge, mass to tunkhannock, pa .... look it up... he he he


no complaints from schneider...and i don't feel like a driver number and truck code, when my stl is in the office that is. if i deal with support in greenbay then yes....dealing with my stl and his team in my home terminal, no they know who you are and u go in and shoot this sh!t when you get in town and just all in all i don't have any complaints... it is annoying sometimes to listen to the computer....but on the other hand, it also makes sure that nothing in ur log book is gonna come back and bite you in the ass down the road. and as i said in another post with just under 4 months experience im turning 3-4000 miles a week and take home between $800-1000 which is not bad for a noob at 21 years old....and NO COLLEGE LOANS TO PAY BACK...now who's stupid for not going to college....hahahah.
