"DBA" - How does Schneider pay their ICs?

I'm seriously thinking about deadheading up to Atlanta if I can get an appt at the OC to get my PM and oil change done. I won't use that much fuel deadheading up there, and whatever I do use likely won't cost more than it would for me to sit down here for a day.

I'm hoping to get my graphics on my truck next week, but a lot of that depends on how I can do this week financially. I've done a lot of design work for my business, I used to do that kind of thing before I became a truck driver. I even designed my own documents. Here's a couple snapshots of the two main ones I use on a daily and weekly basis. (My address and phone number are blocked out for obvious reasons LOL)

I just snagged a quickie load going from here in Orlando up to College Park, GA, in the Atlanta metro area. It doesn't pick up until tomorrow, but I suppose that's as good as I can hope for. Plenty of good freight coming out of that area. I need to get home within the next few days anyways, I'll just do my PM then.

 

i have my company name on my truck. It doesn't say lease too never had a problem with my name. You can only have one set of DOT numbers on truck

 

Cmon man we may want to show up at your house and stir up the neighbors lol

 

Yeah, that's what the DOT officer told me (he mentioned it while giving me a roadside inspection one night). One set of numbers only, and if there are two company names on the truck, such as Schneider and then my name, the words LEASED TO must be clearly displayed over the company name that holds the operating authority.

He said that he personally has never written a citation for that before, but that it is a citable offense if an officer wanted to be a jerk about it. And we all know there are a few out there. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

 

LOL I wouldn't recommend driving down my street with a truck. After I bought mine, I bobtailed home after delivering and was going to park across the street from my house in a big driveway that was part of an abandoned house. Got within two houses of mine and I hit a power line. No damage, but now I have to drive nearly off the road to get past that line when I go home, and I have to do it very carefully LOL. There would be no way to get a truck and trailer even onto my street, it's not physically possible
