    It all comes down to whether you're happy with what you're making or you're not. Does it really matter what's going on behind the curtain? It's all about the bottom line for all of us IC's. Sure, you can bail and go to LS, but their agents are playing games too. Games are being played at all the companies. Here at Roehl they don't pass on all of the pump discounts or FSC. Now why should they make money on fuel I purchase? There are other issues, but again it's pointless. Either I'm happy with what's coming to the truck or I'm not. When I'm not that's the point in which I'll leave for other opportunities.

    I know it's in the contract, my point is it's just a selling point to drivers who don't know any better.

    On our Choice load board it list loaded rate per mile and estimated rate per mile.
    Nowhere does it say 65% I know it's assumed but it's not factual.

    I don't care about % I only care about the rate per mile I'm booking, I just am tired of talking to drivers who come aboard and are failing because they bought into the % sales tactic and don't really know how trucking works.

    It's by no means Schneiders fault drivers are too gullible to do their own research bit since so many use these threads as "research" I figured I'd post facts.

    I'm not digging at SNI, either . I just don't think , for myself , it's practical to compete with company drivers as a contractor . Had that problem with the last place I did business with , I always figured the higher revenue loads went to their units

    I'm not saying it's true I'm only saying as cost conscious as they are it wouldn't surprise me.

    I've seen the rate sheet from the customer on the Poland springs run from kingfield, ME Schenectady/NY.

    330 hmg miles, 390 actual miles. Schneider billed Poland Spring $4/mile at 330 miles

    Same run was like $2.05 or $2.15 on the load board (I only ran that load as a company driver previously so don't know if the contract rate changed)

    That might be accurate. For every competent contractor that nets 90k in a year there's one incompetent contractor that goes completely bankrupt.

    I netted 50k in 8 months last year before taxes

    Why are you worried about him posting truthful information that can be helpful to someone. If you don't care about it don't reply, maybe someone else does care. Some companies pay actual miles, some short miles, and I did JB intermodal for 2 years and they paid odometer miles any/all truck ran from when you left the yard to when you returned. So just share information, keep what you want and disregard what you don't want.
