Schneider o/o or Landstar????

Do a googlw search for small to medium size carriers within 100 or 200 miles of where u live ....most times they have sweet direct contracts might find a deal that works better for u..,,,,,,plus i like sitting down with the owner of a company and not getting lost in shuffle

 

Whether you go Schneider choice or LS, there will be a learning curve if you're coming from a dispatched situation. The difference with Schneider, as far as i know, is that all of the loads are on the board. At LS it's a crap shoot if the good stuff hits the board. If the agent has a known entity available, they'll get a call or email first. This can be your advantage if your a great, on time driver, that can communicate with a phone or email, once your established.

If you can find a smaller regional carrier with direct freight around your house, that is usually a more ideal situation if the pay good. They also might not run elogs like Landstar (new hires)and Schneider. They don't exist in my area (FL) at least that I've found.

 

Actually I always wonder when I read posts like this but then I see where he lives NY, NY - yeah he's making a killing...
