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

Yes but they make up a very small percentage of overall freight for the industry as a whole. They'll just require all their freight to be moved by team trucks. It's the exception not the rule I think.

I'm not saying I'm right just giving my opinion.

 

Besides Walmart dictates to their suppliers so if need be they'll just require a 90 day payout on invoices instead of 45 as it is now.

I hope I'm right because I'd rather have steady year round freight instead of these peaks and valleys we have now.

But after all I am just another driver.

 

Company I'm with (LTL) is estimating as much as 6% of the truckload segment will disappear after the dust settles over this ELD Mandate, obviously due to lack of capacity from guys who hung it up. On the surface this might be a win-win for those who adapted and the LTL segment!?!?

 

inventory costs money...... there will be changes but I doubt that’s one of them.


If they just put a little more time into the load the crisis would be over..........

 

Speaking of rates, just saw a load that SNI has posted in house for $900, posted elsewhere for 1800.

Do the math kool-aid kids.

 

Where was this other place you seen 1800?

 

DAT

 

I have seen the same thing on DAT. I've called Schneider and yep it's a valid load. It goes to show you just how much they take off each load.

I honestly am surprised at their audacity.

Our contract is 65%. Which would be $1170 of what logistics is offering to an outside carrier.

Can anyone say "class action"? Seems like it would be a potentially huge award if some law firm would go after it.
