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

Tonight I take a bus to Philadelphia and then am flying to Texas to get a car and then drive from Texas to home in Tennessee to then fly back to get my truck. This should be interesting

 

I am going to be in Austin and Dallas which both aren't areas I've explored before so that will be cool I guess.

 

I'm at the Philadelphia airport struggling to stay awake!

 

This is probably one of the most if not the most psychotic production cars ever made.
There's even a warning sticker on the car warning you that you need to be careful to not burn yourself while getting in and out lol



In other news I made my final trucking school payment this month, had in house financing with the school.
Then went off for a .26 per mile OTR noob job until I could get something better.
Could have never imagined I'd be driving and paying for a Kenworth and a Viper around 2 years later along with having a job where I pick my own loads.
Most important thing I've learned next to how being safe is sooooooooooo important is how truly valuable doing your homework is in this industry.
This site has been a huge help in being probably the number one aid in helping me get to where I'm at now.
Including the group of Schneider drivers here many of which that don't particularly like me but still have helped me and many others in the past. Though things aren't the same in a sense I still do very much appreciate having the opportunity to engage with drivers that have made more of themselves and made successful careers.
There is an incredible wealth of knowledge, ideas, experience and etc shared on this forum that really can make a big difference in peoples lives if they put in time in.

 

Cheaper flights out of there.
If I were to find a way over here in my truck I'd be taking a significant hit rate wise and have to still fly back here to get back to my truck.
Every avenue had it's drawbacks, including the one I chose.
