    Trucks that we take delivery of in 2016. Change to the order specs wasn't done until mid to late September but we started taking delivery of 2016 model year trucks in August.

    I have a cooler from when I drove with swift. It only cools to 40 degrees below ambient so hopefully it's enough to keep at least sandwich meat, cheese, and milk cold until I decide to go IC. I just don't want to live off truck stop food and vending machines lol

    Bummer, got mine mid October. Already 2 visits for warranty repairs...now I have 3 different spots where water leaks into the cab.
    An absolute pile of ####e; unless you like your martini shaken, not stirred.

    That results in a watered down, girly man drink. Not a martini guy but if I'm doing something it #### well better be done right.

    Dude, think long and hard about the IC thing. You have some guys on this board that are doing okay- but in my opinion better to save your money and buy a decent used truck rather than lease. Then consider choice.

    Good choice.
    Schneider has met all of my expectations for safety culture and driver support. OTR is a choice, though. I'm very happy running Target dedicated. Eight to nine hour trips, through the house several times a week, plus for resets. No paychecks less than 800 a week so far and I'm still at 36 cents. Accessory pays like stop pay, load and unload pay, short haul pay, all make up for the mileage plus some. The dedicated gigs with SNI are a well-kept secret, it seems.

    This is entirely wrong.
    I've got a Koolatron 12-V that runs fine and keeps cold for 10-hour breaks giving no trouble with the truck batteries. Cheese, meat, yogurt, no problem.

    If I do go IC I don't think I'd be going through Schneider finance. I just want to get my experience with them so I can walk on to the choice board when I want to make the plunge. I considered the millegae program first just to get used to the whole "running my own business" thing before I take full control. Thanks for the advice, stay safe out there

    I was considering dedicated but I have alot of family in different states that I'm going to take advantage of seeing since I'll be trucking. Dedicated will limit me on that but it's certainly a consideration. Thanks!!
