Schneider Choice Program

Sorry, I have the month of July off and have been very busy.....you know, fishing, drinking, riding the Harley, playing with the better half

Anyways, the Frito Lay loads going are going to Frankfort. When i was there, I did a regular run such as this. Remember I live in NW Indiana

PU Monday in Chicago going to Berwick, PA
PU Tuesday in Williamsport going to Frankfort
PU Wednesday at same frito lay plant in frankfort going to Detroit
PU Thursday in Detroit going to Chicago.

I'd take the rest of FRI-SAT-SUN off and could clear $1500 a week bring home after expenses. All the loads pulled were under 20k lbs and It wasn't bad at all, but I got back onto my dedicated tanker gig and left SNI.

They are a great company and deff seem to be doing more and more to keep the O/O happy!!

 

I am happy with SNI as a company driver, but I really want to get back to being an IC. I would love to put together something like this for myself. Thanks for the reply!

 

Been a way for a while trying to learn all the lanes and how this program works!! But definatly the NE has good rates going in but SUCKS coming out and they are really heavy loads.. I haven't seen much of the Frito lay runs if any on here. I have heard that they are making some high paying freight dedicated now so it comes off the board don't know how true that is b/c I'm still seeing some decent rates if you play the board and as SHC says "chase the freight"

 

How long have you been doing it?

 

Just a little over a month..

 

Only Frito Lay I know of on the boards are Frankfort, IN/ Williamsport, PA/ Dallas, TX/ FTW, TX

Be careful of the Dallas loads tho, cuz they stack the trailer with chips, then fill the end of the trailer with chip dip in jars. I spent 4hrs trying to make a load legal and just could not do it. Had to sit for 2 more hrs while they removed 2 pallets. SNI knows of this, and just send a warning in the LOAD SPECIAL INST section saying "Chip dip loads MUST SCALES BILLS INCORERECT!!!"

Good places to go are Home Depot out of Bolingbrook, IL
Usually over $2.50 a mile and each run can be done in 1 day. I like the Detroit loads cuz they paid about $1,200 then you can grab a run going right back to CHI

 

Thanks for the info will defiantly be watching for those!! I've been doing pretty good running out of Oklahoma and staying out for round 14 days and then going home like u said chasing freight..

 

That's the best way to make $$$ with that program.

Also try using the "All load" search option and search the highest paying loads that are 2-3 days out. Sometimes you can find a load that's paying $3-$4 a mile on a good run and then you can route yourself that way. I did that a few times and cleared $5,000 for the month.

For example, I found a load going from Spring Hill, TN to Reno, NV that paid $3.25 a mile on a load that weighed 3,600 lbs!!
It picked up that Wednesday so i grabbed a load from Chicago to Nashville on Monday for Tuesday delivery.
I delivered that load on friday and took my reset and got a load right back out with a stop in Vegas and delivering in Dallas. Then I grabbed one of those Frito Lay loads and ran back to Chicago. I was gone for 12 days and made $9300

But once you learn the lanes and routes, you will be good.

 

Can you lease one of sni volvo 780's or frightliner cascadia's and join the choice program?

 

yes have to go thru their finance company
