    I have been doing a lot of research on going O/O and I plan on buying a used truck soon and have applied to the Choice program.

    Has anyone on here that is O/O bought their truck from schneider?
    I have been browsing http://schneidertrucks.com/ I'm looking at buying a 2012 or 2011 Freighliner.

    Would they be as expensive as buying from a dealership? I've read it is cheaper to buy from a private owner but there isn't much out there.

    There gliders are a good deal. There is even a place that finances them now, I just can't remember the name.

    I've read so many conflicting reports of this all year that I have no idea what's true. When I spoke to the recruiter she did not mention any freeze.

    Just like ICs cherry picks loads, Schneider is cherry picking drivers.

    They don't cherry pick drivers, they always choose from the bottom.
