The ad is in the paper here (albany, ny) Western Express over the road. I started out with Schneider and have been on a local gig for the last 5 years, now thinking of otr again. What can I expect? How is their ppm?

 

I once heard some guys talking over 19 and guy said he was making .31 a mile and had been there for going on 6 months... PLENTY OF NORTHEAST!! regardless where you live but he said he was averaging around 2600 to 3000 a week.... Most of the Western Volvo's are nice and they do run wit the big dogs so i don't think there cut back to far..

 

I've always heard Western has a good amount of NE freight, but I've been out of the loop for a while, so don't take my comment as gospel

 

for 31 cents a mile they better be giving me a reach around

 

If you're going to be running the North East you can expect no parking at night and heavy traffic during the day.

 

Us drivers originally from the Northeast don't need to park and sleep.....we're tough.

What local Schneider gig you currently at now TopSet?
