    Thought you get paid for making the stop and then you get paid demurrage right?

    Sounds like you had it rough. I arrived in Crosby to get loaded, they told us it was cancelled. Which meant New Jersey was scraped. Today has been swapping around trailers, pre trips, and maintenance/waiting. Currently waiting in truck rn. Got a new load but it's to sulphur LA and then back. So we'll see how that plays out.

    Well today was alot of back and forth from a cancelled load, which would have been epic but it is what it is. Instead we shuffler trailers and pre tripped/couple/uncouple. Finally we had to get a fuel filter replaced that was out of stock and finally at 8pm I took off to sulphur LA. Here I am now, laying top bunk thinking about how nice that was to drive. Empty for now, til tomorrow, challenged myself with the mpgs. Averaged 8.1-8.2 for this little trip. Fun

    Is this a sign to things to come at Schneider lol. So far we have had issues on every load. Today someone stole our empty trailer and we had to wait for another one. Get to the pick up and customer only loads 790 gallons in our tank when the work assignment calls for 5000 gallons and are now contacting dispatch on what to do. Man oh man xD

    Depends, the more deductions you put, the more you get every week, but your tax return would be smaller. If you put 0 the company will tax you maximum amount
