    You know maybe I'm just a slow catching on but does anybody else see that Sni is breaking down loads that were 600 miles at 1.70+ a pop into relays with lesser rates smfh... That's crazy

    I booked one recently of those recently.
    There was two loads going to the same place at nearly the same rate.
    One was a relay, the other was a live load 9 miles away from relay point (opposite direction of where I was coming from)
    The relay was $50 cheaper and I booked it.
    Hours of my time and extra miles is not worth $50.

    Then again Schneider thinks 6 hours of detention is worth $50 lol
     
    duddie Thanks this.

    The kW dealer near my place has had many MX 500 in with many issues including some like yours Worst thing is they don't seem to know these motors that well because getting a honest answer from the mechanics on what went wrong is like pulling teeth.

    Yes. I started running out to Casa Grande, delivering to TSC. From there, I was doing short deliveries within Arizona paying 4-5/mile.

    Now they are quickly snatching them off the board, taking them to the yard, and sending them out at less tha. Half the rate.

    See it happen a lot out of Laredo lately as well.

    I don't like that... And the fuel discount sucks right now.. Things were so much easier years ago.. They're not giving us a chance to make money.. You got to run like a chicken with your head cut off to make money here now.. It's no better than doing intermodal in my opinion smh

    The kicker is, out in Casa Grande, there was no excuse for it. Once the loads were split, both the local $50 pickup and relay to the yard was available, as was the delivery from the yard. Same trailer number on both, which matched the trailer number on the original load.
