    You have to work within the limits of the assignment.
    If it's an open window appointment you can deliver or pick up anytime within that window.
    Generally for set appointment times you can arrive a little bit earlier as in an hour or maybe two but that's about it.
    You chance screwing yourself over and pissing off Schneider if you think you can start going against the assignment details.

    FYI.. Sunday night is the worst time to book freight. All leftovers trash nobody else wanted.
    Once Monday rolls around you'll have more and better options.
    Good luck and remember... have fun! :wav:

    I got my first load alert today in my truck..

    If you have a specific search say to find you loads getting you home and you name it "Big Pimpin going home".. when a load matches you get sent an alert in the truck and the Qualcomm lady will actually speak "New Shipment available, Big Pimpin going home".

    lol pretty cool man :occasion9:

    Most of the time yes, but it's not always the case. Currently long runs are paying crap but there are times when long runs pay good

    Long runs generally always pay crap unless they go into the Northeast and then good luck once you get there.
    Sometimes I see 700+ mile loads paying $1.80+ into Texas and Virginia which I guess is okay but those also are rare.

    1800 mile load paying $3450 Lima OH to St George UT, 1500 mile load San Jose, CA to Loveland, CO $3000, 1650 mile load Des Moines IA to Mecca, CA $3000, Indy to Pierre, SD 1300 miles $3000. All loads I've done before, there are times and then there aren't times for loads like these.

    uh huh but all those loads except the CA load all went to dead zones.

    I've got to know.. what the heck did you get out of St. George, Utah and Pierre, SD? lol
    Talk about the middle of nowhere.

    St George UT, deadheaded 150 miles to Las Vegas and took a cheap ### load to CA. Pierre SD deadheaded 450 miles to St Ansgar, IA and took a short load from there. Bottom line is you can find good paying load #### just have to pick the right time of the year (now is definitely not the time). And by assuming I went into dead zones that I screwed myself, well, keep thinking that and when I find good paying long runs they'll still be there waiting.

    To keep in context with the growing theme around here... Let's see some absolute proof that you made a profit the weeks you ran these loads. After all, you can't expect anyone to believe you're making money running like that.

    These "good paying loads" go into bad areas though. I don't see what's soo great about that.

    I never see 700+ mile loads paying $2+ to IL, IN,OH, NC, TN, WI etc etc
