That must be one of those runs Americans don't want.
On a good week 2000 miles X 31 Cents per = $620 gross $620 div by 5 = $ 124 Gross $620 X 50 weeks per =$31000 Gross After taxes your lucky to bring home somewhere over $400 per week never mind taking there insurance, Child Support, etc. No disrespect driver but can we work any cheaper and still live? We all need to get together and not do those types of runs. Instead of paying you 25% of gross to the truck companeys sweetin the deal with not $$$ but benfits (home time, decataded, truck equ, hours, etc) to pay you cheaper to get someone to do the run. Again driver I mean not disrespect to you but I hope that run works for you and you dont have to quit in a few month because you cant feed your family. P.S. I hope thats home every night. Greg |

I am looking into getting on this dedicated route myself after I get my CDL in April. Not because I am being lured by the great pay, but because the 2 days off a week is more important to me at this time than the money. I just hope I don't end up being another who thinks Mal-Wort dedicated totally sucks. |
yeah...from what I understand, about 1/2 of pay is extra stuff like multiple stop ect. The guys on pumpkindriver say they do ok.us

they said i will park in louisville

My point is Schneider is making money off the loads and also off the driver. There not being fair to the driver. I don't care about his personal wants and needs or what he values. A driver lives in a truck 5 days a week for less then $800-$1000 Gross per week he's being robbed! Cash is always #1 in business. Sounds like he's home on weekends, he also has cost of living on the road est. $100 per week. Not much left over.
I bet $5 (Big Bucks)he follows the industry standard turn over rate and quits in less then a year. Living in Ky that might be a good job. (God knows theres none here in Mi) He's still a driver, He still has a CDL-A and HIS butt on the line for any tickets. Thanks for the reply Dunnowhattodowithmylife. Greg |
i just need 1 yrs then its off to pegasus transportation. I can deal with it for that long. I look at it like exp=gold

You hit the nail right on the head. I just left Schneider after 15 months and found a home daily company that requires 1 yr experince OTR. I paid my dues with Schneider now I can be home daily. I was on Schneider/Walmart in Ohio and I learned a hell of a lot about trucking did not make that much $$ but was treated well by Schneider and it paid off in the long run. |
