    Why did you choose to do the choice program with SNI ans opposed to going with a company like Landsatar or JCT or someone like that. What are the differences that made you choose one over the other? Some of you may have said in your thread, But to be honest Im following and enjoying reading so many of your adventures I cant recall.
    (better than most books I have read)
    Thanks

    That's a simple Schneider hooks them into leasing a truck with little to no money down. Poorest drivers can became a ic under Schneiders thumb. Which in turns make sure they can't take the tractor to another carrier. They also like thinking there their own dispatcher.

    I appreciate your thoughts and input. But if you are NOT a SNI choice driver the question
    DOES NOT apply to you.

    Please do not make this a trash talking thread. Much appreciated.

    I will give you my input.

    I choose to run choice for 1 reason. SNI has been good to me for many years. Plain and simple that's it. I did not want to start over at another company.

    I did not get hooked into leasing a truck from them. I have a very good credit score and could have walked into a dealer and bought a truck. Once I did the math and compared the rates for the loan, I determined that SFI was the best choice FOR ME. They had equipment that met my specs, and the price was reasonable.

    I did it for a number of reasons:

    1. I knew that with my lack of credit history getting outside financing to purchase a truck would be near impossible - SFI was willing to give me a shot so I decided to get my truck from them
    2. I dispatch myself - no one tells me where to go or when I need to be available. I decide myself, I run as hard or as little as I want, as long as I make my truck payment no one cares
    3. I was previously a company driver for SNI and became familiar with many of their customers. I knew which areas were good areas to run and which areas would cause me problems, same with the individual customers.
