Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

lol yeah I think that info was put out on their mileage pay program which sucked.
I was scared too buddy, unless I saw other drivers pay and some rates on the board there was no way I'd pull the trigger. Schneider sucks as far as putting out info. Supposedly they're creating a new O/O site, hopefully it'll be better than all that trash they currently have out.

Go through all these Schneider threads and you'll see the actual real world money we're making which is a lot more than $.36 lol

 

That's ridiculous, company drivers at Werner earn more than that.
When I'm lazy I can still clear $2000 after expenses working a full week.

Schneider does lowball you, they did with me also.
Which I think is a good thing because most companies BS you saying how much money you'll make.
Here if someone is taking cheap freight and going home every weekend then yeah $800 sounds about right or could be even worse.
Everything depends on you, how you run, plan and how much crap you're willing to put up with.
Generally I know the more BS I put up with the more money I'll make.

 

wow

Well they are doing something terribly wrong.
Some people think this is a game and oh "I'm just gonna do fun loads" and will deadhead endlessly to pick out a load that's light, drop and hook and going 1000+ miles not caring what it pays. Then go deadhead hundreds of miles home for the weekend because they want to.
You gotta do lots of dumb things like that to fail here.

 

Difficult? Well there's nothing difficult but there is a LOT to learn in order to do well.
Some things to learn are

-Trip planning
-Markets
-where the good shippers are
-what a good rate per load is
-when to book and when not to book.. aka getting the rate you know you can get
-in winter time weather is important because ice storms means you're not moving

the factors are endless but as long as you put in the time and are willing to learn it's no big deal.
