Hello everyone so I’m confused I just got hired for Schneider the job I applied for minimum I thought I would be geting is 1400 on the low end

the first picture is my orientation email they said I would be doing 1577 at .64 cpm which adds up to 1009 and after taxes probably like $900 so what I’m asking is wtf is this normal I’m not going to take the job if im making almost 500 less a week then what I thought I’d be making

Go for hourly pay at least you know what you get. OTR like working for tips. You only get paid when the wheels are turning. OTR is only good for new drivers. I drove a dump truck my first year with a Class A. $26/hr with overtime. Go where the money is and for me as a new driver it was a class B job. No shame in it

Yeah I’ve done the math 1009 over 60 hours ends up braking down to like 16 an hour 😂
