Pros

You go home every night. That's it.

Cons

The hours are long and they pay is insulting. I work in San Bernardino, CA and we're paid $10.50 an hour plus load pay and miles. Management wants the drivers to work a minimum of 10 hours a day even when freight is slow. They've crafted a method of dispatching to ensure that they get 10 hours of work out of you. Load pay ranges anywhere from $20.50-$30.50 based on how long you've been there. They also have a performance system in play that adds up to $6 in addition to your load pay if you can manage to hit a targeted number combined of several categories such as your, (days work, MPG, over speed, and preventable accidents). The mileage pays $0.10 a mile so racking up on miles is a no go here, which sucks because we frequent San Diego. The office personnel doesn't care about any of your grievances, they'll tell you anything to get you out of their face. The office personnel dislikes the fact that you make more money than they do and their not afraid to let you know either. The dispatchers dish out loads at random so don't be surprised if they want you to go from Moreno Valley, CA all the way to Compton, CA (about 80 miles) to pick up a load. This place sucks.

Pros

Dedicated local account, driver leaders are nice, equipment is decent.

Cons

$12/hr on duty, not driving pay. That’s ridiculous and includes everything except driving. Work can be inconsistent at times, hours can be long, no holiday or mileage bonus pay for a long time after hire, benefits are expensive. Schneider won’t allow drivers to use Bluetooth or any other hands-free device, INCLUDING HEARING AIDS, to receive calls while driving. This makes having a life outside of work and scheduling appointments almost impossible.
