Pilot xt 112 I-80 Morris Illinois.

Riddle me this. I am .69 miles from consignee according to Jill.at the shipper it said I would have driven 414 miles to there direct. This Pilot is the assigned fuel solution. I drove 431. Following her directions.

 

Schneider miles where only they profit....

It's a shame that a company that claims to be a technology leader still uses 1970's miles to pay it's fleet...... but I'd bet they bill actual miles.....

 

I have no doubt.

My situation was from running the directions both ways on navigo. Load is 410 paid miles.

 

Breezewood, Pa at the TA... Headed to Indiana.

 

They use 21st century technology to keep track of 1970's mileage

I've seen the Poland springs rate sheet on the load from kingfield, me to Schenectady, ny. The stated load on the rate sheet was approximately $1300 on the 330 miles (330 miles were short miles, actual practical miles on that run were 390 miles).

Bottom line is the miles that Schneider "charges" the customer is irrelevant. Just like choice drivers, they aren't being paid "by the mile", they're being paid the contract rate.

By the way, I've seen the same "330 mile" load on the load board, and it paid approximately "2.05/mile" on 330 miles. Do the math there on what the 65% Schneider is giving the choice driver, then also factor in the extra 60 practical miles on that 44,000 lb load

Ultimately after Schneider brokerage got their hands on that load the "65%" became 50-55%.

Bottom line is the choice driver can do decent after Schneider takes their 45-50%, but company drivers on the other hand are getting bent over

 

Just missed you I guess. Went to bed about 7 leaving now to pick up in Wimer and head home.

I've seen some loads where the IC is getting 40% of the total load. Scneider makes the numbers whatever they want.

I really think there should be a set % that logistics takes, just to be fair to all parties.

Better if logistics was out of the picture for contract freight, since they're completely unnecessary at that point. But thats never gonna happen.
