    I've pretty much decided on going with Schneider, its just a question of going dry van out of Phoenix, or bulk out of Houston I guess. The pay difference doesn't seem like that much ($1.15 vs $.92 per mile), but I'm sure it adds up quick. I guess next factor would be availability of miles. If I can get a few hundred more miles a week out of dry van vs tanker, that would narrow the mileage pay factor.

    Well that's a .23 cpm difference take that times 100,000 miles a year and that's 23000 dollars difference. So yeah it adds up.

    So the other day I did a HIT load from Atlanta, Ga to Ishpeming, Mi and it was also flammable had to be kept at 100* delivered it a day later then they wanted me to cause was given it 4 hours later then the IC was supposed to originally get loaded but it was a nice 1100 mile load now today got a load from Rotschild, Wi to Wewoka, Ok then drop dirty in Houston, Tx its a nice 1535 miles to be done by Monday hoping to actually drop in Houston Sunday night but it's air unload me so it all depends on how lucky I get. Just thought I would update what I been doing last couple days.

    Calling me rookie when u don't know how to run ur own pump lol jk real, but yeah I hate blind side and Nc will probably agree with me it's like a blind side 90 to get into that spot if my nose had been longer then the one I got it would have been a problem

    Take a look for yourself.

    You half to back in and then keep going back until you are next to those white tanks, and its not a straight back.
