Schneider Intermodal/Good Place to Work?

@w.h.o ? I think pulled in the Chi area?

 

Taxes and insurance is different for everyone

 

JBHunt here in Phoenix intermodal makes $70K a year. There is a list lol. I think they pay a little better than Schneider. Your in Mass your area may pay more. $70K year gross is about $950 week take home.

 

I gross $1100 to $1300 most weeks with all bonuses. Only once have I grossed $1600+ working 6 days. Regional makes slightly more than local. I'm regional. The job is easy. Real easy. But the train yard employees hate you and they're not afraid to let you know.

 

It's not a bad gig, pretty easy once u figure out the railyard and backing. Pay I'd different in each yard. Some can make over a grand after taxes but remember that's 5 days to do 70 hours and hopefully you don't run out of hours before you reach the yard

Just when you thought you couldn't do worse than a 9 series trailer, try pulling this chassis! (I'm not kidding either)

I don't know any specifics about the Wooster, Mass ramp, but they do keep us busy here. Performance pay is weekly, not quarterly like van. Local is not paid by the hour. Regional will get you a mini-sleeper truck. Consistent customers and hometime.

If you like to pick up your load and drive several hundred miles, this gig is not for you. But it may be worth the additional headaches for the small pay increase if you like to stop more often.

 

That pay package is different (worse) than the one offered here in the buckeye state. Your math is reasonable.

One chassis issue that you can't overlook and roll with (flat tire, major air leak) can screw up your entire day. So, there goes time taken off your second load for that day.

Additional accessorial pay:
$10 empty spot
$10 live load/unload
$10 hazmat
$25 shorthaul pay (<25 mi)
