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

I don't think that would be legal. Your MMA is yours to use for any maint issue and since it's your money you can choose the vendor.

 

Soon they will be terminating contracts, with guys like me who own there trucks. Going strictly to lease purchase.

 

Are you speculating or have your heard this from a reliable source?

 

Everybody is racing around. I go 62 and trucks blow my doors off all day long at 70. I had an IC go roaring by me at 72 in a 55 the other day.

 

Yep.

 

It's crazy! I love it and hate it both at the same time. Last week I did $5300 in revenue on 2000 miles, plus there will be about $1,000 in detention from last week on top of that, but I am not complaining about that at all. The load I picked up last night and delivered this morning paid $888 on 320 miles and then I had a load I ran this afternoon that paid $468 on 118 miles. If I wasn't still sitting at the receiver this evening when I got another load offered to me that picked up by midnight and delivered 25 miles away at 0600, I would have added another $486 for today. I just couldn't guarantee I could make delivery legally and so I had to turn that load down.

As for missing the 9xxxxx trailers or the mud lots, nope not at all. It's so nice pulling an air ride, fuel efficient trailer and at the end of the day I don't have to put everything back in the cabinets like I use to with Schneider's' trailers, lol!

 

You running under your own authority?

 

Yep. Have been since april or may.
