Going back to Schneider with my truck that does not have AMC till 2022 Leaving Interstate

So was told I can come back to Schneider with my truck that does not have accident mitigation system. At least till 2022. Received letter that was required by 2018 and went to Interstate Freedom board. I am now going back to Schneider. My reasons are simple. Freight, and Pay. Interstate has a great culture, but the freight is not there and most loads are grocery loads that pay around a dollar a mile. Compared freight and Schneider has freight 5 to 1 compared to Interstate. Don't get me wrong.... you can make money at Interstate, but you will work a LOT harder for it. I know a lot of people complain about Schneider rates, but I have compared both personally. Schneider rates are better. I guess I will see what happens over next few years, but if Schneider doesn't change too much I actually will think about trading my truck in ( with a dealer ) and getting something with the VEC, Bendix, or Detroit Assurance system. NO Ongaurd. Both companies have treated me well and I have no issues with either. It comes down to dollars and time. I really don't like being limited to running CA, OR , and WA. With Schneider I am not limited.

 

I made money with them. Its either go back there or Landstar. Its more convenient to go back then to start from scratch at Landstar. I just know that Schneider pays and has a lot more freight than Interstate.

 

Interstate isn't bad, but freight is not as good imo. Other than that I think it's a good company. Freedom board can't compete with choice board. Maybe that will change, but it's still to new.

 

They changed it and are currently taking on trucks without the system with the understanding that it is needed by 2022. I start back on monday.
