THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

@CaptainX how are you making out?

 

Ay man...have you even pulled one SCNN load yet??

 

Hey I'm glad it's working for you and by all means, do what you think is best for you. I really do mean that.

9.5-10 is pretty amazing. But removing antennas seemed a little extreme and immeasurable outside of a wind tunnel, to me at least.

My 05 Columbia can hit those numbers under the same conditions by doing nothing except the double nickel. I rarely have the time or patience for it however.

 

I can say this to you .. As a LP driver at another carrier they are not going to let you decide spurt of the moment out side of a emergency that your going home in say 2 days or etc . You have got to put in a request normally 7 days in advance just like a company guy does possibly even 10 days .

You may have a choice on loads in a normal LP .. But GOOD LUCK getting your next choice once you turn one down . And then what ? You get mad ? But what can you do ? NOTHING .. Because your CONTROLLED BY THE MAN . Sure you can bob tail off ? ( for free ) or throw a fit ( gets you nothing ) or you just sit there and wait till you get your next load . AND YOU TAKE IT .. WHY ? because eventually you get tired of the fight and you give up - WHY ? Cause you finally realize they own the truck and your business and if you don't give in then your not gonna make ..it . SURE YOU HAVE A CHOICE .. But not the same as the SNI CHOICE .

Third - I could care less what you comment to me or say . I grown accustom to you not having much good to say towards me and frankly it don't bother me . The MODS are the one who erase your stuff not me .. Lol ..

 

Nope - just been here for a month twirling my thumbs .. I went bankrupt and quit figured I could make more money at home ( SARCASM ALERT ) not sure how to answer your question but YES I've pulled SNI loads

i took a vacation one we had been kinda planning, I don't have a big truck note etc .. I brought my own truck to SNI . So kinda taking advantage of the choice not to go to work for a few weeks . When you run a good business and set aside funds for things like time off you can actually afford to take a few weeks off .. Lol We have saved to take the kids on a mini vacation and we did and I had a VA appointment in between it . Then her mom took the kids for 10 days which we hadn't been without kids for almost 5 yrs and I decided heck with it let's go somewhere so we went to STL for 4 days got back she decided to buy a new car .. Ordered it .. Dealer can't find it .. Dealer finds one in Jackson MS .

Were just having fun .. My fun ends next week but I'm enjoying it why I can .. I understand folks thinking it's impossible to take time off when you have a truck but it's not .. Just have to plan wisely

Loads = yes pulled loads and got 3 settlements thus far just got my first GOOSE EGG .
So yes I've pulled loads ..

But as PAUL HARVEY SAYS ..

NOW YOU KNOW ... The rest of the story !!!

 

Funny, I'm the one who made the ignorant comment about split logs and dfo gets zonked over the head lol

 

Thats because we have unanimously decided that everything is DFO's fault. So don't worry, his zonking was well within established procedures.

 

Eh, I'm doing okay I suppose. Honestly, I'd be doing a lot better if it weren't for the #### customers LOL.

I've had a few negative checks because of customers causing issues and ruining my load plans. And of course, it's always the place I pick up on Friday to run through the weekend. They screw it up, and then I end up trading a $2500 run for a couple piddly $400 runs because the load board on the weekend SUCKS.

But I did take home slightly over $1,700 last week. Nothing this week due to a stupid customer who can't figure out how to load a trailer properly, underestimated the load weight by 10,000 lbs, didn't have a scale on site, and there wasn't a scale within 150 miles. So by the time I discovered I was running illegally, they were closed for the weekend and I couldn't complete the run.

But this week is on track for being my highest grossing week so far, with about $5,700 coming in, if everything works as planned through Monday. That should lead to a really good paycheck, even factoring in what I still owe from the mess last week.

 

Good deal , glad things are going good for you for the most part . Customers do that crap ..

The thing I did to fix that issue of over weight at customers with no scales in the middle of a corn field is I got a Load axle scale for both my Drives and steers .. I know where they are a 44,500 and once I hit that mark I know to start asking questions or repositioning pallets if not a full load . Comes in handy ..

the drive tire one works off the air bag . The steer I couldn't tell you cause I don't have a air ride front but they work great got read outs on the dash . I think Freightliner charged me 600 installed .

 

You don't need to apologize DFO.

What you write here shouldn't be attacked..sure if you're wrong about something than correct and go.

But explaining yourself to someone who really doesn't want to know or care is beyond what is expected from anyone who posts here.

6speed likes to agitate plain and simple.

Just saying..
