Profile For Michael C.

I am trying to get some information on this company (specifically the road driver position) such as : I know the pay is .42/mile to start

1.) Average miles per week 2.) Hometime 3.) Benefits 4.) Do they only drive single trailers or doubles 5.) Anything else that would help deciding upon them. Are they a good company to start with?

Thanks!

I just graduated trucking school a few weeks ago and I have put in a bunch of applications for local jobs and OTR jobs. Unfortunately it looks like I am not qualified for any local jobs cause I do not have experience. I have narrowed the OTR jobs down to Schneider and Prime. Schneider offered me .33/mile for OTR Dry Van. Prime offered me .465 for Tanker. My fiancé would like me home more often than Prime offers. Prime is out 4-6 weeks at a and Schneider is 2-3 weeks. I would like to get the tanker experience and I do like the higher pay. It just doesn't seem like Prime has any dedicated routes for better home time. Schneider seems to have a bunch of opportunities, I am just not a huge fan of the pay when I can make more at Prime. I am basically looking for any drivers that work for either of these companies that could sway me in one of these directions. Anything at all that I do not know about these companies would be helpful. Which one of these companies would be the better choice for a newbie? I am located in Charleston, WV by the way. Options are very limited here.

Thanks for the advice in advance
