Choice program on the West Coast - from company driver to IC

Ah yes..I just hit the house with a drop for Monday.
Fought DC traffic today..what a joy.

Not a bad week..getting better..with the drop for Monday I'll be at $4600 for the week with 1850 miles.
Missed a full day due to a check engine light..which turned out to be minor once they figured it out.

 

How are you figuring expenses for this week? Did you fill up on Monday?

 

Would like to see how a team does on the choice plan. Ever heard recent numbers as far as lease and gross etc? Solo seems to be pretty good too.

 

Don't feel bad, my load got the appointment changed. I am doing a 34 at the Atlanta OC.

 

I didn't have a great day either. Left home planning to book the loads from the same customer(s) I ran last week. Ends up the one I delivered too today appears to not post up new loads on the weekends. I watched and watch and watched and yep nothing like I was expecting came up. Ended up grabbing something else out of the area to take me back to NC... will be watching and try it again. Oh well... always something to learn when it comes to dealing with customers you haven't been to before.

 

I gotta question may be off topic.. I was reading on there website that they require or it would benefit me to have 3 months OTR before I did lease deal.. I have 6 is that info correct? Or am I missing somthing?

 

From what I was told if you are a company driver for Schneider you only need 3 months OTR then you can lease. 6 months OTR if you are coming in from another company.

 

I just talked to Schneider finance they require one year otr I only have six months otr but they will accept that I have 27 years local experience. Just give them a call and talk to them.
