Schneider Choice Program

rickybobby, And the rates into the northeast are good too? SHC has confirmed this, but I would ask 10 guys the same question. That day could come when it changes. Good luck with the program.

 

Yes they are very good to the northeast but the rates coming back out of the northeast are not so you have to figure out what you would average on the trip in and then out. I think it would be best to just stay in the midwest all the time and keep running at the higher rate.

 

Yes, i was thinking the same. I even though the rates are doable in the north east. I would rather run in the midwest. Either, way i will be taking a hit coming in and out of NC. How accurate is the weight on the Load board?

 

I'm in Charlotte tonight have the choice class in the am then I'll be on the board and running. I did the orientation in Green Bay and got my truck there and they ran my mileage wise till I got here to do the class. Ready to get it up and running but I do hear the midwest is the money runs as of now. I'm hoping there are good rates going in and out of oklahoma..

 

This does help..Thank you. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread

 

Generally, I've found it to be either spot on, or very generous.

Anything with an odd number (i.e. 39, 726 Lbs) would be a preload and the weight would be off the bills.

Anything even (i.e. 40,000 or 44,000) generally turns out lighter than that. A lot of them are regular weekly (or more often than that) runs, and the weight is what the expected maximum would end up being, even though the usual load is much lighter.

The only times I've found the weight to be heavier than posted on the board is when the #### shipper decides not to count pallet weight. Hasn't happened many times on me, but it has a few.

 

Thanks, How long have you been running the choice program?

 

When I ran the Choice program (about 16 months ago) there were great paying loads of KC out of Swedesboro, NJ going to Costco stores. The loads were preloaded and multi drop live unloads. Many guys wouldn't run them, but I did all the time to get off the east coast. I picked them up in the afternoon and would start delivering around Pittsburgh the following morning at 4-5 stores. The loads paid around $1.70-.80 if I remember. This worked great for me since I had a little round setup going to Jersey and back.

 

Any updates??? I will be ready to run Monday.

 

rickybobby, did you pick a truck from their list?
