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

Here's what I see... Truck grosses 7000 minus fuel 2000 truck payment MMA etc 1200 and a smart co driver would want no less than 1200 for his services for the week so that leaves you with 2600... if my memory serves me correctly that's what u said you were doing solo..soooo what's the upside

 

heres what I see, his employee doesn't see any of financials. not what they pay , none of it. because the reality is he is a company driver. has no real say in what the truck does or where it goes. just wants his check on time.

he said he HIRED a driver, not that he took on a business partner.

am I wrong in that assessment?

 

Correction. 1200 plus full bennies. Anything less nets you a so so driver that doesn't really care. That said, since fw is also in the truck he can probably get away with a soso driver and not have it bite him in the ###. At least it's a lower risk of it.

 

So now that you can book freight while truck is moving without breaking policy you want access to ALL the freight both team and solo. Funny how that happened.

 

Break down on that .80 cpm pay 400 relay then tell me it's better.

Or cs makes a mistake am live load not dh and the good load you took the .80 cpm to get to gets pulled.

I understand averages but sometimes it's cheaper to deadhead than pay to pull.

 

My bet is he'll be a short timer once he sees the opportunity you're speaking of.

If he's approved to drive for SNI he'll want more.

If you think the team board light on freight keep bragging about your revenue and you'll have even more company to join you same as it happened on solo board.

 

Sorry whipper I misunderstood your gross $$. And if a load paid $2.74, it would depend on how many miles. Too many times I've seen great paying loads gross like $1500-1800. I wouldn't go into New England for that.

I know you run a lot harder than I do. I like to sleep in a non moving truck at times. No need to post screen shots, grossing $7k is relatively easy if you want to run that hard.

But in order to gross over $10k would be a super rare event in which the moon and stars all lined up perfectly. And if that happens I suggest you also play the lottery that day.

The ability to gross $10k would not be a problem if they combined the boards like you said. I don't want the boards combined as much as more shorter loads to connect to the bigger ones. I have never once delivered and picked up at the same customer. Not once. All of the loads leaving are for solo drivers so dead head is a major part of the team board.

I have 65k miles on my truck now and am going to the north west after Michigan and will be at 70k in a few days. I got this truck June 13....twice the work, twice the maintenance costs, for the same pay as a solo. I'll be switching over to solo this winter some time.

 

Because Schneider is not a team oriented company that's why...

 

Sounds like FW found a way to shorten his lease term on his 680 so he can move on sooner.

Good luck
