    I really need to learn how to do emojis. I'd reallyike to show myself raising my hand going "oh oh oh I know this one!"

    We had the father son team from out west that constantly mentioned the craps they had to take or time they had to wait on freight. We've had numerous mentions of team trucks turning in their qualcoms after making the switch to choice from legacy.

    The only happy team drivers I've met at Schneider run dedicated. Expedited freight is a tool Schneider needs but not one they are able or willing to use effectively. It supports our core business.

    If you had temporary access to load board before you switched YOU should've known.

    There are so many different variables to this debate it makes my head spin. I tend to think, just like most other things in life, the answer is somewhere in the middle. It's what makes being a O/O enjoyable. You can make or break yourself. And the stress. That's enjoyable too. Who doesn't love a good dry heave now and then. I think I just lost a injector (hoping it's the harness) and just blew out a exhaust elbow. Excuse me while I step outside and heave a bit. Will return in a bit.

    My temp access was 30 min. Not a lot of specifics to figure out in that time but enough to get a general idea.

    I'll never go back.. I don't see how you can make that run profitable. Truck takes a helluva beating.

    Prove it. Show me the math. I showed you my math and how I don't believe it's profitable, now you show me yours. It's easy to run your mouth, but until you back it up with numbers it doesn't mean a whole lot to me.

    I can understand how you don't believe it because even in your hypothetical example you didn't bounce to a rate to support your activity.
    As far as running my mouth well lmao I'm just stating facts lol truthfully I could care less weather you comprehend it or not.

    Man this This has gotten absolutely hilarious
