    Such a great mindset, when you said “I’m learning how to be a truck driver while working here” that’s so much a gem! People think they know everything as soon as the license is in their hand not understanding that it’s just the bare minimum of knowledge that they need. Great video 🙌

    You don't have to stick it out 2 years to get a better tanker job. One year will do. Stop giving your efforts to a company that won't value what you do. Schneider is only good for it's shareholders.

    Do most people end of leaving Schneider after a year or two? Or does Schneider offer more pay at that point?

    • @Tay.juhWoods
      @Tay.juhWoods  5 месяцев назад +5

      Honestly, a lot end up leaving after a month 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Trucking is a very unique industry. Only 50% make it to 1 year. And most don’t make it to 1 year with at least one company. And no, Schneider doesn’t offer that much more pay unless you decide to go on a dedicated account or one of these special accounts that only the people on the inside know about

      No. Not true. They don’t base wages off cost of living. They base it off experience level. I met someone with 8 months experience on the Ecolab account and they were making 63 cpm… so it’s like Schneider doesn’t take care of their current employees that get experience through them, but new employees with experience, they start them off with a good CPM.

    Schneider Bulk is a good training company & that's it. I learned how to haul DOT 307,407,312, & 412 trailers with them. The difference between solid & fusible washout caps & much more. The only reason I made decent money when I was with Schneider Bulk was because I had a monopoly out of my terminal with the cross-border runs in Canada. My name went all the way up to the sales team in Green Bay.
