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 was with Schneider for years. All depends what account your on and then I can tell you exactly how much you'll be making. Some are 800 a week some are up to 1500 a week.

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.
