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

My favorite one is still the one where it's like "Its impossible for a 13'6" truck to hit a 14' bridge" "Very photogenic swift driver: Challenge accepted!"

 

So @freightwipper, did you learn to like the Western Star yet?

 

Just showed up on my Facebook feed....

 

Ive seen those loads posted on LS and other boards.....
Not saying that rate is bad...its just lower than I've seen it recently...

 

Van rates went to 2.07.

I laugh when I see that number wondering just how cheap some are running to put the average there. I even beat that this week from Arizona back to Arkansas.

 

If I were at that when I left, I may have still been at Schneider. Just wasn't possible for me where I lived at Scheider's rates out of my home area were horrible. For $1.51, I would have to take a short haul down into Texas, then not plan on leaving Texas as long as I wanted to keep anything close to that average.

try to go to Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and I was staring at .95-1.05 at best. Now I can get better loads going to the same areas $2+ all day long, and easily double it or more back home or anywhere else.
