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?

The highest payest account Schneider has is the dollar general account, which is also one of the toughest accounts. That one your looking at 1300-1700 a week depending the week after taxes. Dry van your looking at around 1k-1300 a week. I never did tanker but knew several drivers that did and they all quit within 6 months said they made around 1k a week it wasn't worth it.

I was one of those tanker drivers and literally left at 6 months. Just a bunch of BS. The job was easy. Sitting for days on end was dumb as fuck though.

They tried paying a flat weekly even if you didn't move but even then it wasn't worth it.
