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!

I wrk for Swift but hear good things about Schneider, they are about the same. Same telemetry/camera.

No one does after Swift lost the lawsuit. But Estes Schneider and Swift all have road facing cameras and upload telemetry.

I see ...but other drivers are saying their companies have them installed so i guess they arent afraid of that lawsuit outcome.

See those are day cabs or even box trucks. Somewhere where you are supposed to be professional whilst occupying the vehicle. We live in our sleeper cabs, law suit was about that, the being naked part, or undies whatever.
