    How does Schneider handle trailer problems? Say I'm running choice and I blow a tire.....is that cost on me?

    or some other maintenance problem occurs while you are pulling a particular trailer?

    Aslo, can you pull your own trailer on choice?

    You have to have it setup just like do during their testing. Skirting on the trailer, the full wheel covers( on truck and trailer), super singles on truck and trailer, trailer slid up as close to the truck as possible to reduce air turbulence, most likely the duck tail also. Then drive it like you have a egg under the throttle. Then you will probably get 10.

    Real world driving be happy with 8.

    If your pulling their trailer and their freight it's on them. Now the tractor is a different story...

    im on the choice program and the highest i got so far was 8.1 and the lowest being 7.64 and thats with me doing 70 mph thru wv pa and va so its doing pretty go im gonna slow it down some this week last week there was mass confusion on my end and i stacked all my loads on top of each other with very little wiggle room and if your late you get a service failure and charged $500 for each load your late on. and also if your late or relay a load you will be billed $500 so if u have bad trip planning, stack your loads on top of each either or have a tractor breakdown and your late or have to relay a load that $500 expect if the weather is unsafe to drive or your delayed at your prior customer so if your getting live loaded and it say its gonna take 2 hrs but takes 5-6 then that's consider being delayed at the customer so if your late for your next load that's not on you also if you have a trl break down it on schneider you have to call schneider emergency maintenance and they'll have it repaired but if your delayed because of a trl issue its on your fault either and wont be billed the $500 just FYI for those considering schneider l/p..you cannot pull your own trl on choice plus in my opinion i don't see why u would want to a lot of loads are drop and hook or youll pick up a pre loaded and get live unloaded or the other way around my 1st load took 6 hrs to get loaded so i try avoiding the live load unload stuff like this week i have 3 pre plan loads and there all drop n hook.

    Well I just got my approval for a 52 week lease. I got quoted a evolution. Still looking at the numbers and trying to make sense out of it all. Basically it says ill being home $1000 after everything which is about what I figured. And that's figured off 2500 miles a week.
