Farm2Fleet 2016

Paid off my truck in Jan. Got the title in the mail yesterday. Getting the ball rolling to move there myself. I'm looking at being there in 6-8 weeks. I bought my truck through Werner and paid it off in under 3 years while coming home every two weeks. Werner doesn't lease you a truck... they sell you one.

 

Birddog, I have no idea how true it is, but several folks have posted on pages about payroll problems. Like I said I don't firsthand, but that may be where this. Post came from.

 

Better believe it.
It's very credible. He/she speaks the truth on their 1st post.
Not trying to bash them, u will get paid, it may be a week late, but u will get paid.

 

If you posted your question 3 years ago, you would have had a ton of F2F drivers telling you how great it was. Now you hear crickets, which speaks volumes.

They used to occasionally be late a day or two with pay, but now it is routinely a week behind. Sometimes even longer. Meanwhile you see Bill & Lauren conspicuously consuming on facebook. Look how successful F2F is, come join today!

Worse, they lie to you. All the time. Whenever drivers start leaving or growth slows, they always announce some big new game changer that's just around the corner. A couple years ago that was a partnership with Covenant Solutions. What happened to it?

About 6 months ago, their pay problems started getting bad. Why couldn't they pay on time? The story they told is that a bunch of new drivers had breakdowns and F2F had loaned them all money for repairs and was just temporarily behind on cash flow.

After a few weeks of that slow pay, a bunch of drivers started leaving and grumbling on Facebook rate per mile masters. Then suddenly F2F announced they struck a deal with Jack Daniels for some good paying direct freight. We'll have more details for you in a couple weeks. So you stick around... Then a couple weeks later they say that they have to wait 6 weeks for their insurance to expire to renew with a policy allowing liquor.

6 weeks later, and where are these Jack Daniels runs? Oh we were underbid...

Another wave of drivers leave and now they announce they just closed a deal on a dedicated drop and hook oversized run in Florida. We don't have all the details just yet, but let us know if you're interested and we'll get back to you when we know more. Months later, where are these loads? Oh that was just a request for proposal.

Then they blame their cashflow problems on F2F drivers for not running enough miles. Don't sit around waiting for good loads, we need revenue!

Then the fuel cards stop working. Its Pilot's fault they say.

Then it is because their factoring company has stopped factoring invoices for a large number of brokers. Or because they have a cargo claim with a large broker and can't get paid until it is cleared up.

Then they say Bill has been stricken by a most curious blindness. He's not always blind, but you can count on the blindness to flair when there is something you need from him. But it goes away whenever the opportunity to recruit presents. Or when he needs to drive to work.

 

Im a O/O on a lease from Schneider Finance running on Schneider National IC board while the 1 st quarteris always a challenge plus low fuel rates...I make plenty will have truck completely paid off in 3 years. I can honestly say I have not met one person at Schneider that wants any IC to fail. Period

Be Safe Out There

Oh P.S. I live in Denver home of the no fun rates..and yes I can take my truck to any company Schneider Finance doesnt care.

 

Well - he/she wasn't a one post wonder - I've watched from the side lines a while and that nailed quite a lot on the head.

And I wish Chinatown would quit recommending them to every new kid on the block - unless HE is the mysterious Chinese shipper bringing the direct freight deal . . . .

 

Oh my, my.......

 

He is - right ? You know - the direct stuff from the ports . . . from China. Chinatown. THE DIRECT FREIGHT!!!!

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW !!!!!!!!!
