    My driver will be starting with SNI IC out of Ontario, Canada in 2 weeks. Any tips and tricks to make good money and not have crazy deadhead/waiting?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to working with SNI.

    Schneider told me a couple months ago they weren't allow fleets on here anymore.
    Gezzz story changes all the time.

    Anyway nobody here runs out of Canada so can't help you there.
    All i can say is study study study.
    Might I ask what was that process like to get a fleet driver on here? Your own truck I'm guessing right?

    :D Not laughing at you guys. I more hope with you. Some of this stuff is knee slapping funny! It's refreshing to hear the truth. Good, bad, or indifferent.
     
    blade, Cledus Snow and freightwipper Thank this.

    Filled out an application, then some other papers. 1 hour interview with recruiter. Now I have to give them my trucks papers... I purchased their used Columbia Glider. Luckily, there are very few gliders in Ontario and I managed to purchase one. Next week will be a 4 day orientation at their ontario terminal.

    Now some questions for you, this might be very newbie. By drop/hook, they mean drop and hook other trailer from the same yard?

    What are relay loads?

    Good areas to find A LOT of loads.

    And what is the average rate/mile.
    Lucky for us, the strength of USD will almost cover schneider's cut.

    Relay is taking over a load someone else picked up and brought it part way to the destination .... You finish off the miles and delivery.....
