Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

Anyways Schneider finance is stepping up their game with trucks..
I never never seen soo many trucks, man they don't even have enough parking spaces for all of them
Going all out with new and used Peterbilts also

 

It's a nice truck but I still think the T-680 is the nicest truck and most advanced as well.
One thing I don't like about the 680 idk if they're all the same but my truck has no air vents on the top bunk so it's always an oven up there.

 

Without getting into all the complex details.. if after the lease is up I were to buy the truck in cash all the money invested between the lease money and cash would be about $184,000.

If you went through Lonemountain to get the same kind of Kenworth it would be $168,500
So that's what a difference of about $15,500.
Schneider makes it's real easy and cheap to get into a new truck soo you pay a premium for that.
If you have $13,000 to $20,000 laying around for a down payment and good credit obviously you can get a better deal elsewhere.
The good thing about a lease if it you see the truck sucks and/or you don't like it you have an easy out.
Schneider finance will lease a new Freightshaker for $1k down for one year and Schneider gives you a $1,400 bonus when you lease on with a new truck so that's a wash. I think that's the best deal with least risk and least time locked in.. I almost did it but I hate Crapcadias too much lol

At the end of the lease between all my accounts I'd have a total of $29,460 waiting for me minus whatever I've spent in maintenance over the term.
That's a combination of my fixed maintenance money that weekly goes in, $1000 escrow Schneider took weekly out to reach, $1,400 bonus in maintenance account and $6,000 which was my $3k Security deposit doubled and return to me.

 

I think I remember you went to KS when you did your 3400 mile week.
I love driving out there, peaceful and easy.
Anyway so you basically averaged around $2,600 per week the last two weeks after fuel and fixed costs I'm guessing based on the numbers. Which is good especially for not dealing with Northeast BS lol.

At the start of my thread I said:
"When I'm out 7 days as long as I reach $2000 after fixed and fuel costs I'm content and that number hasn't been difficult to reach. My goal every full week is to do $2,500+ which is more difficult but not impossible as I've done so multiple times already."

So you working in the chill states and with less time here than me are meeting my own income goals.
Point of me bring this out is to show how $2000 a week isn't difficult to reach and $2,500+ is possible if you work a little harder and smarter.
$3000+ is possible if you really push it working the good areas and working hard.
That's just my opinion based on my time here.
From yesterday till Thursday I have booked I'm looking at about 2850 miles and $5586 in revenue over 10 loads during that week period.
While yes 10 loads in a week sucks, for me to get my rates up that's what I have to do.
However that is a $3000+ week period for sure, probably hovering around $3,300-$3,400.

 

That's pretty good for starting out.
As time goes on you'll learn a lot and how work the system better and better.
It took me 2-3 months before I felt like I knew how to get a lot out of working the system.
Just to give an example my first week out I took a 1000 mile load to PA for like $1.50 lol I ain't ever doing that again.
There's always more to learn..
