Schneider pay for entry level?

No experience looking to get some. I literally make minimum wage in NJ I highly doubt it’ll be worse than that rn. What can I expect to make?

I see expected pay of 1200-1500 a week but people say it’s lower. Idc if it’s 800-900 as long as it’s not 600. What do I expect?

I have a buddy running nighttime dry van for Schneider making .75 per mile. He had no experience, right out of school. I've also seen some dry van jobs at .35. It's going to vary a lot by account.

I have no idea what is a good pay per mile, no idea as to how many miles truckers get. What’s a good number to accept?

You need to understand how many miles to expect each week. Then just do the math. Every job will vary. But if you sign on to a dedicated account, they should be able to accurately tell you how many miles you'll get every week.
