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

I understand what you're saying but what I'm saying is I'd rather those drivers not work here or there.
Drivers willing to work for peanuts hurts the rest of us.
Don't mind me, that aspect just hits a nerve of mine.

The customer left because another carrier said they'd do it for cheaper but I guess that's what's going to happen naturally when freight is down, there's more competition for what freight there is.
On the other side of it (from conversations I had during my recertification) we've lost accounts to cheaper carriers who then lost the account because of a lack of service (not having enough drivers).
You're right though if we managed to keep such account we'd probably would have to lower our rates to keep the account. With cheaper drivers it certainly helps the ability to undercut others.

 

It's been months since I've been to Gary.
Obetz got me a few times when it was raining/ground in wet. Between the holes filled with water and soupy mud on the lot makes for a real messy time.
Nothing like spending $50 on a truck wash, having new shoes and then heading into Obetz after it rains
