Running With Schneider!

I agree with mary trucker and atruckr. just b/c my truck is in the shop I'm not frustrated or mad at SFI or SNI this is not their fault at all and they have been more than helpful under the circumstances.. and it's under warranty so don't have to be paying out of pocket to get it fixed.. sucks being down but my frustration is with the dealership and their communication with me and their personal in their own building.. my truck will not be back to frieghtliner of san antonio.. I'll take it to petro or ta for oil changes and a different dealer for warranty work

 

Don't you love Laredo freight.. It sure can be a hit and miss, but you are very correct in the challenges.. those that don't kill us only make us stronger and if that's the full case then I should be as strong as hercules right now LMAO..
I wish you luck in getting your booty out of there.. might watch San Antonio freight too.. I know it sounds a long distance but there are some loads that run out of McAllen and Pharr, TX from time to time to Cali or NV.. It's about a 165 deadhead there but they are light under 10k and pay around 1.50 or so just a thought good luck and I can't wait to be back hauling booty again

 

My only question, and I guess i can take this up with someone at the OC tomorrow, but they say you must have 6 mos and 3 mos OTR. I'm technically a "Regional" driver but i will be staying out 2 weeks and taking 3 days off rather than the weekly home time. Will I have to switch over to OTR for 3 months before theyll let me lease? I dont mind staying out but id rather be home every other week if its possible. I've got a dog my dad is taking in and an 87 year old grandpa im really close to that would like to see me a couple times a month. If i have to make the sacrifice and stay out 3-4 weeks at a time for 3 months to get on the lease program then I will, but I'm just not clear on the policy, if anyone knows thatd be great!

 

Welcome to buying a truck. Stuff breaks, driver hit them. Its life. Try to build a cushion but is hard with $2500 week due.

$2500/wk?? so the truck is paid off in full in a year?

 

No a cascsdia is about $800. Week. The $2500 is fuel permits maintenance and what ever else they add

i have the same issue with my fifth wheel, i invested in a large hammer to hit the release pin on the passenger side,works like a charm

 

Ahh, so if you guys dont mind me asking, how many miles do you have to run a week to have a decent take home? And what is an average take home? Again, if you dont mind me asking
