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

This program wasn't easy over a year ago when i signed, it has gotten way more difficult to get good rates. For someone to succeed at this you will have to work your ### off, its a 24/7 job. Always planning, always looking ahead. Its a constant grind. You gotta be hungry and motivated to make it work in the long run. I've personally known several guys come and go, everyone i stayed in touch with from my orientation class but 1 guy is gone, and even he is in the process of trying to get his truck turned in. The freight is here its just a question of how hard your willing to work nonstop.

 

I'm not going to argue with you, just pointing out there are other ways of doing things. You post some great stuff - very informative, so I have no beef with you but there is more than one way to go about things.

I was with SNI for 7 years and almost did the lease when it first started up there. Maybe I made a mistake? Don't know but, I do know I like where I'm at and that is what counts, right? Besides, the more you bash the $0.90'ers the more people will flock to SNI and fight for your loads that go up for 0.00003 seconds.

Tell you what, I sure don't miss the days of empty searches and trying to get a trailer that didn't have a ventilated roof. Look at the bright side, I'm not competing for your loads.

How hard is this...

To each his own. Not one size fits all. Everyone has different wants, needs, desires, feelings, home time, kids, nagging wife, etc etc etc....

Let it go people (I'm looking at you fw)....

People need to do what they like, want, love to do..... if they don't, what's the ducking point?!?!...

What works for some, won't work for others, and vice versa....

Roll on....

 

Cost of equipment is huge and by alot overlooked. Rates go up and down when the equipment goes up and becomes less reliable. It's soon to be the killer of the o/o model and the lease companies are more than happy to find drivers willing to take on the risk. Some guys do exceptionally well on any lease. But they are the exception and not the rule and should be commended.

 

No, I certainly did not. You chose to read it how you wanted to interpret it, not what was said in entirety.

What was said is I will make basically what a company schmuck makes but I will end up with a truck, too. Just a minor detail, I know.

I will leave you to your bashing. Carry on.
