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

I'm currently averaging $1.95 /mi +/- a penny on 2100 - 2400 mi a week. So if I could do $2.10 with my own #s, (good luck with that starting out), that would be an additional $15k a yr in revenue to my business.

Subtract from that 15k the cost of a trailer and its maintenance, insurance, additional book keeping, factoring, etc...

Its just doesn't add up to more profit, which is what we're here for. Now I could be way off base with the way I see it, but I think if there was that much additional $ in running under your own authority, most of us would be there already.

As far as what Schneider makes off my truck, I can't say I don't care, we'd all like a bigger piece of the pie. But what matters most is what I make off of my truck.

 

Names and associate numbers. Everytime. Log times and subject plus their response. Record it too.

 

Sni is good for what its good for... But let's stop acting like rates everywhere are cheap like the rates here.. It's not I don't care what nobody says.. Maybe you guys use that as a excuse not to leave but rates are higher other places. Do your research

 

When leasing with SNI how does your credit matter?

 

Do those companies have pick your freight? Just askin?

 

So you're saying that you can go somewhere else with higher rates, better amenities than SNI, and then bring only your power unit, nothing else?

Can I ask why you're still at SNI?

 

I'm still here for convenience... Like my post said it's good for what it's good for.. And @freightwipper you stay out all the time that's not reality for most we have families.. But hey I'll let you guys think the van rates here are the best in the business.. I'd feel better if you guys were truthful and said it works for you guys but don't sale av story that the rates here are the highest around smh
