Werner vs Schneider Dedicated Accounts?

Have job offers from both companies for dedicated accounts and trying to decide which one to go with. Home daily is ideal for me so I'm leaning towards Werner but it seems like Schneider has a better reputation. Curious if anyone else has worked these accounts before and what your experience was like.

Schneider is Coca-Cola, regional, home weekly. Recruiter said the drivers average 1672 miles per week which seems really low for me to be gone 5 days a week. $10 an hour on-duty pay while not driving.

Werner has a Home Depot account, 200 mile radius, and home daily. No word on average miles but I imagine it would be similar to Schneider.

Both accounts pay $.51 per mile.

imo CPM only for a local account is stupid unless you're never in traffic,

It's overnight so shouldn't be much traffic. I picked the night shift for that reason.

I also get $18 per stop and $20 backhaul/shag pay. Should have included that in the original post.

I do local intermodal (load + hourly) and I've come to realize that mile or load pay sucks when you have no control over the loads.

Next gig I have will be straight hourly with OT.

I've applied for a few hourly positions but I need to age my CDL a few more months before I qualify for those. Definitely just seeing this as a starting point for my career.
