    OK I am at Schneider now tell me where to get all the money. I am looking at taking my truck to Mercer or Landstar. I have a Schneider truck and I am not doing all that great at Schneider and have talked to them about putting my truck elsewhere. I do vans and Mercer will let me go flats but I need to get all the required securement equipment. They also have the vans which seems to do alright and you have to rent one. At Landstar it is no rental so to speak. Don't you just love decisions.

    There are thousands upon thousands of posts on this forum.
    Schnieder is where the money is & Landstar is bad. In fact all the posts say Landstar isn't just bad they are evil. My posts don't say that, but there a thousands that do.

    That could be but I did not say that it was an issue the issue I stated was that I have to try and figure which way to go if I decide to take my truck elsewhere.

    True enough. I saw "I'm at Schneider now tell me where to get the money" and thought you meant where to run at Schneider. Some people say they do better at Mercer or Landstar but other people say they do better at Schneider. There's a big youtuber I'm thinking of, went from Landstar to Schneider, and likes Schneider better.

    I am making a decent living at Schneider but I would like to do better. I do not claim to know everything and that I know the best lanes but I run a certain area and do decent at it. I would like to find someone to help me learn the different lanes. I am not to proud to ask for help.

    I have asked my adviser for help in finding someone to show me some different areas to look at and she said she would find someone to call me but I never hear from anyone.

    Sni pays a $3500 recruiting bonus for O/O if that tells you anything. YouTubers always do well;)

    I'm pretty sure they only pay the bonus to o/o currently leased to them. But this guy isn't. He got his own authority and still still sticks by his story.
