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

No way would I do a 3 yr lease if I was a new IC Choice driver...

No way...

Things are way worse than they've ever been...

Roll on...

 

I wouldn't sign a lease today on any truck and I'm a little above a newbie.

 

So a smart business owner would realize revenue is down. One way to combat that is reduce expenses. Like .................... buy an old Schneider glider..................... OH WAIT, we cant do that. Doesnt say much for the business/contractor "relationship" we are supposed to have.

 

I couldn't agree more. Matter of fact I wouldnt recommend anyone coming on board at this time.

 

Anybody know of another option similar to IC? I'm always keeping my options open. Perhaps a company that allows gliders

 

Is it really that bad? A buddy of mine on Choice showed me a handful of loads on the board in my area about a month ago, and while there were some dirt rates, there were also some very good paying loads.

 

How much is SFI asking in payments and what is the buy out after 3

 

When 1.15 per mile loads disappear as soon as they confirm, yea it's bad. And there were better loads to be had. Not much but somewhat better.

 

Rates are definitely down from last year but I still plan on getting a new truck in October when my lease is up. I was looking at a Fitzgerald glider but evidently that's not an option now.

 

It's a great option, just gotta find a different carrier. (man i really want to say better carrier, sorry guys)
