Schneider Choice Program

Quick Question. Why would a national company like Schneider (or any other for that matter) bid lower rates in different parts of the country? Costs the same to run a truck in the midwest as the south. How can they afford to run their own trucks for less in different parts of the country? Doesn't seem to make very good business sense for them.

 

you bid tge freight lane. diffeeent lanes pay differently based on the freight levels and amount of trucks available on the other end.

example. tx and fl, everything goes in and very little comes out which leaves u with more trucks then loads so shippers can pay less. supply n demand.


your way sounds good..... if there was no competition. unfortunatly there is something like 40k trucking companies in the country. even with as big as someone like sni is they still only handle 3% of the freight in america

 

Don't you mean Indianapolis??? Cuz that's where they do their orientation. Green Bay doesn't even have a terminal anymore.

 

Do trucking companies in Tx do the opposite of me from Mpls? $2.50 a mile out and $1.00 a mile back? Makes no sense to me.

 

In Green Bay now. They still have the driver training open here. Choice Program training sounds like it will be in N Carolina next week.

 

Oh, I was told they closed down the Green Bay operations. In fact, our instructor told us today the OC is no longer there and they do everything out of the SNI Finance building now (old driving school)

With you being from MN, you will be based out of Indy. I'm here this week getting the Qualcomm installed in the truck. So much fun lol

 

go bust Franks balls for me... they fixed a wheel seal and now I have an abs light on. I have to go look into that. indy's got a good shop tho

 

If you get to Charlotte, Charlie does good work in the shop down there.

 

I just found out I need new kingpins and a draglink. $800 forbthem to fix it....not bad seeing I spent $1800 last time at Peterbilt with the FLD.

 

The OC is closed in Green Bay. Everything has moved to the driver training center
