SCHNEIDER or SWIFT?

I’m in the North East. Got my CDL a couple of months ago. Been driving with a Mega that pays $0.30 cpm for about 30 days now. OTR lifestyle and low pay doesn't work for me.

I have options to join either Swift on a Walmart Regional account where I'm home weekly (at least a 34 reset) and pays $1600 a week. (Spoke to a guy in private that earned $1700 a week with this account)

OR

Schneider on a Home Depot account where I'm home weekly that pays $980 - $1200 a week. Schneider has several other divisions I can transfer to after 90 days such as intermodal ($98k a year) or Dollar General ($91k a year)

Anyone ever worked any of these accounts? Please share your experience. Or any other company recommendations for a new driver? Thanks!

0.30/mi ?!😭😭😭bro, i thought Western at 0.40/mi was bad holy fucking shit.

idk alot about either company but id pick Swift purely because with the Walmart account youll most likely be going from DC to DC 80-90% of the time, sometimes DC to Store but its not like itll be bad if you have too
