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

I have been a subscriber to this thread for a long time. This question may have been addressed already, but for the life of me, if it has, I cannot remember the answer.

Do you folks on the Choice program find the load rate stays the same load after load or does it vary? For example, DFO has a handful of customers he likes to go to. Do those customers pay the same rate all of the time? So when DFO see's the load on the board, he has pulled that load so many times, he already knows what the load pays. I understand you don't have to wonder what it pays as the load screen will tell you any way, I'm just curious if the rate at a particular customer remains consistent.

What got me to thinking about it was I have been reading in the "Broker" section of TTR and I read where drivers pulling Broker loads have to negotiate with the broker, always trying to get more money while the shipper is trying to get the load delivered as cheap as possible. I realize the SNI board for Choice is "No negotiations. There is the rate, take it or leave it."

 

That's a good sign.

So you are saying it won't be long before you change your sig pic to a white KW attached to a SNI trailer?

 

The end of November will be here before you know it. You have a good plan. Get as much of the little issues taken care of now, when you are not depending on the truck to make money. If the KW needs to rest a week or so while parts come it, etc, you can still run and not take a financial hit.
