Think I found where some of your freight went. Was looking they Craigslist and Schneider was advertising for company teams with a average LOH of 1100 miles with 5600-6000 miles a week. That's a lot of solo loads they are pulling.
-
1100 mile loads are not "a lot of solo loads" -
Very few loads on the team choice board and their hiring company teams......nice touch.
TennMan, Cledus Snow and sealevel Thank this. -

Well today is my 1 year as an IC. Here's my take on it. The year flew by! I ran 130,xxx in miles. I am pleased with what I made. My first 2 months I ran every where tried all lanes, I ate slept and thought about the load board at all times. Just trying to learn, sure I made mistakes got into dead zones. Cheapest load I took was 89 cents per mile. Farthest I have Bobtailed for a load 550 miles but it was to go visit my grandkids for Easter. Now I have 2 lanes I really like to run in. I am home weekly the last 4 months. Is the program easy? NO! You have to be willing to run, that payment is due every week ( I do pay 300.00 extra a week) you must also plan for repairs and PM's, tires. You have to think of the business end and not just at tax time. I did take a Freightliner (New) and I have upgraded a lot of little things quite frankly it's been a great truck...really no issues I love the DD15 motor.
Would I sign up for this again. Yes everyone that I have had interaction with at Schneider has been supportive and I feel they really want you to be successful. Do we over pay for there support and loads YES. I think we give closer to 45-47%. They need to improve a lot of systems, better trailers, some of the OC's are complete crap.
I would like to thank @tenman and @freighwhipper both have been very helpful and I thank you both for your guidance!
What's next? Roll on...Pumpkin style.
