    @freightwipper how are you making out man my homie just quit choice after 9 months. He brought another used truck cash and got his own authority, he loves it. I'm a company ltl driver with UPS and that works for me. But he said the rates were so low in choice that he just couldn't take it no more. I respect your hustle you seem to be getting good rates and making it work. Plus im sure the referral $$ is good too lol

    I'm doing fine.
    Rates depends on where you work and what you're willing to do.
    A driver doing Northwest regional would go broke vs clean up as a driver doing Northeast regional here.
    If rates ever got too low for me I would leave but so far as long as i stay in the same areas doing the same loads I'm doing well.
    FYI there's no referrals.. that ended the beginning of this year.
    Schneider has such a huge demand of drivers waiting to join as is that don't need drivers referring people. That plus freight slowing down too.

    I've only noticed less loads, or good loads going quicker.
