Running With Schneider!

Made the on time delivery early this morning here is San Marcos TX. Taken a little breather and then picking a load up out of San Antonio tomorrow going down to Laredo TX with 42,000 lb. Sometimes just got to take the heavy ones it's only 175 mile run so won't burn to much fuel. After that picking up in Laredo heading to Davenport IA nice paying load and only weighs 10,600 LB.

Keepen it lite!!

 

Not sure about taken the MT home. More than likely it is a case by case. If you live a relatively far distance from a customer or OC then probably you can. Otherwise you will have to leave it at the OC or customer.

Our electronic logs will allow you to take split break but eventually SNI will ask you not to take the split. I use to do a split every now and then on the company side and they eventually said to knock it off they don't want you to do it. It is their rule so I respected it and don't use it. Don't really want to now anyway because of how I run.

Well if you take an average of three loads I an working on, comes out to about 1.49 a mile, some weeks I can do a little better but most of time it is around 1.5. Examples:

Frankfort IN to San Marco TX -- Paid $1744.90 OD miles-- 1162 mi
San Marcos to Laredo TX------ Pays $247.70 OD miles-- 205 mi
Laredo to Davenport IA ------- Pays $2028.23 OD miles -- 1331 mi

 

Just lower the volume and adjust it to only pick up what is close. I get a lot of use out of it. At shippers, bear locations, when hitting traffic I know if it is a rec or just traffic and how long it will take to get through, finding locations, talking to other drivers when trying to maneuver around them in tight spots. Heads up when to take a detour and how to do it... on and on.. it is a mandatory tool in my book

 

That is true I could see doing that. I don't live far from OC and can't get a trailer to my house so wasn't sure.

 

But if I see there is a hazard ahead of you and can't tell you about it, then your missing out on sometimes very vital info! just saying! i don't like most of the BS on there either but it does have great benefits.
