    I'd rather work nightshift if the freight worked. I wouldn't want that 0800 appointment in Chicago, Atlanta, the Northeast and etc.

    Those rates look to be around $5.00/mile...

    I guess I'll put this out there for some of you IC guys looking for someplace else to go.

    I offer 90% of linehaul and 100% of everything else. I work with a customer that I do power only with so they provide the trailers and freight. I know SFI will allow you that are leasing your trucks to come run under me I know thew hoops to jump through with them.

    If anyone is interested, PM me and we can talk more. I am not looking to get into a big long discussion on here. But go ahead and shoot me a PM and lets talk.
     
    CaptainDaveG, scythe08 and RStewart Thank this.

    $1.78 from Cali to Denver doesn't look good when you take to account you'll go back to Cali for $0.78.

    Anyway what Schneider says and what's said in a office doesn't tell the real story.
    We the drivers are out here doing the work, studying the load board everyday, speaking to customers, speaking to guards, speaking to drivers.

    It ain't no coincidence a lot of us have said the same things about the shaddy happenings that have been going on.
    Just on the forum alone looks how many long time posting Schneider ICs have jumped ship in recent times.
    That tells the real story.
     
    Opus, RStewart, driverdriver and 2 others Thank this.

    Some of them around that yes and then the trucking companies will turn around and give just $1.25 of that to the O/Os or what around $0.45 to company drivers is stripped cheap trucks.
    The drivers out here actually DOING the work are getting the short end of the stick.
