    I just didn't like the way it was handled. I actually talked to the guy that was reviewing my application and explained everything but still got the generated email..."Thanks for applying but you need more time". I already knew that but wanted more info which I couldn't get from their website.

    I see the potential of being an O/O or IC team. In four days we ran 5400 miles teaming with my son, the next four days I ran 2300 as a solo and have a nice 1100 mile run taking me to the house starting tomorrow. All at 34 cpm as team and 29 cpm as a solo. I can't imagine that as an IC. The downside so far is I've been home 5 days since 30 June. I don't mind but momma is screaming for me to come home.

    Thanks again! I'll check Schneider when I have six months and maybe they'll talk to me then.

    You would get the maintenance money back at the end of the lease and then put that money down at lone mountain or a bank and have a lower payment.Ive seen alot of l/p and most are bad but with the choice program you have a chance to do good

    Yeah a SNI Finance I believe the way that they work is your experience is your credit on a Freightliner EVO and the KW requires a little down u believe that someone said 5k down on the KW

    That's a very good insight on how to use the Maint refund .
    Your right about the Choice Program the ability to do GREAT is here but it is all dependent in YOU and that's what I love about it

    That's what I have been doing with my maintenance fund. I think I've only done 2 PMs through the account other than that I've just paid for all the work on my truck out of my own account. At the end of the 1 year I will have about 9-10k come back to me that has built up in that account over time.

    why is it that company drivers cant understand, The thread says " Schneider Choice program" not "talk me out of it"! let those that are interested in the program discuss its pluses and minuses (both). if you've made good money as a company driver and are comfortable being led around the country as your told, by all means do so. Every thread is the same thing. Dude, chill and let people discuss......

    Well , all my loads confirmed and managed to squeeze in a 424 mile short hop also for an additional $730 in revenue , So with all said and new load my expected gross this week should be just over $5000 and my net should hop up to around 3200-3230 no bad .

    This is my best week thus far booking myself I'll be right a 3000 total miles and right around 5000 rough math tells me I'm hovering right around 1.65 a running mile this week . I'll put a sharp pencil to it tomorrow and post more accurate numbers .

    Ive decided ill post a settlement off the mobile site every so often to show my numbers posted vs settlement are running pretty close .

    Keep in mind when I give rough numbers like this I am guesstimating my fuel consumption and that could be plus or minus a little depending on real world and how it goes .

    Some say they don't like to LIVE LOAD .. Well I can't say I like it but can't say it's hurt me either at SNI
    This week I'll LIVE LOAD 3 loads .. I've done 2 so far for a grand total of 1hr 15 min combined dock time . We will see how tomorrow goes but so far my experiences with LIVE LOADS at SNI has been ok .
    keeping in mind it's trucking a delay is bound to happen eventually . But I've compared some of the same lanes and the LIVES are paying a little better and as long as it's not overly time consuming I'll take that extra 0.10 a mile and stick it in my pocket while they load my trailer and I take my 30 & eat a sammmich :)

    just giving my my experience this far on the live loads

    Not all live loads/unloads are bad. I do a few myself.
