Schneider choice program orientation and getting truck Schneider finance

I don't use ATBS.
I've been an O/O since 1992 and I've never done my own book keeping. I know my costs, have a full understanding of where I'm at at any point in a given month or quarter. It's not rocket science.

I give my accountant 3 envelopes every 3 months and a few days later I get a P&L in an email confirming what I already know. If I did my own books, I would need to pay him hourly to look at my ledger prior to filling my taxes. The way I do it now, its done and in his system as soon as the girl doing the books is done.

Just like tarping a load or tying it down, there are several ways of doing it right.

Than when you go in side the truck stop.Everyone is like HI, how are you. hole the door, talk all nice. no after you.stand in nice straght lines. Oh! no you go first. where you headed.

You never see those trucker running there mouths in the truck stop. Just on the CB.

Dont become one of them. Hear, Stand up for your self. Thier is nothing wrong about debating. But got to go with the facts.

Roll on.

 

I think the only way I would do a lease program is if I could get on a dedicated lane. That way I would consistently have miles and loads. No waiting for a load since your in a low freight area. I'm still talking to Schneider and will see what they can give me for numbers.

 

well i'm 2 weeks into my journey with the schneider l/p so far so good.there plenty of freight and at a good rate. so far the cheapest load i booked was
$1.55 pm that put me in a good area with even better paying loads. i must admit theres alot to learn in a short period of time. my mpg is really good in my cascadia evo no where near the 9.5-10mpg that freightliner advertise but i kinda figured it was too good to be true. overall i'm happy and making money thats all matters. well be safe drivers keep yall updated

 

What are your payments and insurance and everything a week? How much you spending on fuel a week?

 

for truck,ins,plate,permit pre pass etc is $1100 and fuel i spent $1178 so that gave me a total of $2278 for my expense but i grossed $3800. i couldve done better but i had 4 days of orientation and im still trying to learn the freight lane

 

A lot of the things we did back in the day won't fly now. Fuel was >$1 bla bla bla.


Buy a used tractor and lease it on to a carrier. So if they run you off , you take the truck somewhere else..........



I guess the op is still Mia ........?

 

i was thinking the same thing the op just vanished lol

 

JCT pays the usual: tolls, lumpers, washouts, scales. They also pay your road tax which is a little rare. They pay for plates and permits. I think their fuel surcharge is better than most. This week it's $.43/mile loaded or empty. Gotta love those long deadheads!

 

I don't think you will get 9.5-10 mpg with a trailer.....bobtail OK......I think the new EVO are expected to be in the 8 ish area.....

Are you on percentage choice or mileage ?
