    Lol...I would NEVER lease on there under dispatch!! If they let you operate off of a board, however, I would consider it. Heard they are starting a program picking freight off of a board similar to Choice and Freedom.

    Celadon does indeed have a load board similar to Schneider....

    As in all things in life there's some good and there's some bad....

    Good - guaranteed minimum $1.25 rate no matter what area you run to. Their rates and freight look similar to Schneider...

    Bad - You pay tolls...

    Bad - No more than 3 loads on you at any time....

    Someone on this forum is about to make the switch.... No it's not me....

    Roll on....

    A week? Wtf. Unless you gotta tear an engine down nothing else on the truck can't be done in a day. Heck you can replace the transmission in one day.

    Looks kinda new.. i cant find anything online about the Celadon load board.

    Celadon is 70% of total revenue or 60% if you are late. If says they pay "authorized tolls" basically only with the Northeast.
    Schneider is 65% of line haul plus FSC, stop pay etc and they pay a bunch of tolls.

    On their site it looks like you get a $1 a mile min not $1.25
    An example was given here

    At a dealership with a new truck it usually goes like this....

    Shop is full 2 days to get in the door.... Then they don't have the part in stock another day lost. Then a day to put it back together.... 4 days lost but your repair is covered...:)
