Just started researching SNI. I'm planning on joining in March. In reading this thread I noticed a couple mentions of using Access to write a database. I am a database fanatic. Microsoft is phasing (it phased) out access. It does not work on 64 bit processors. However, I can write MySQL databases and a frontend program to do whatever you want. What fields do you want and what kind of reports. I don't get much computer time right now but ill do what I can, when I can.
After 2 weeks off from work. Here are the numbers for 12/8 to 12/15. I had to cancel one load due to the snow. I had 17 hrs left on my 70, could have squeeze another load out. Nothing was worth taking so i took a load to OH, that delivered on Tuesday. I want to make one thing clear, even though i post my numbers. Its not that simple running choice. There are loads on the choice board for .17 cpm, yes there are cheap loads on the board. Dont take my numbers and think you can average the same. I been doing choice going on 4yrs, so i know where the dead zones are. Lately i have been running into IC's who barely gross $3500 a week. If you're leasing a truck through sni and grossing 3500 a week, you're not going to last long. This is a daily grind day in and day out.

Its ok... been working for me. I try to stay on 81, 80, 76 sometimes 309. Im thinking about working the Midwest and south for awhile. I think I have mastered Pa lol. Time to move on and see if I can put some loads together in the Midwest.
PA pays a TON in and out of there. I HATE PA, I ran PA to death with Shaffer... all heavy loads of course lol. I need a break from that... The money is there but right now I don't want to see PA, I've had enough for a bit.
The best consistent rates I've booked are....... OH,IN,IL,WI,MO,IA,AR,TN.......but the best revenue is the NE
i just saw a load that says "CUSTOMER REQUESTED SPECIAL SERVICE/HANDLING - D0031 - DRIVER ASSISTED UNLOADING"? wtf? What does that mean I would have to do?
One of those rare loads where the driver has to unload. I believe on these types of loads you can also call the lumper hotline and pay with an EFS check for a lumper BUT if you do so you'll forfeit the extra pay that should be in the pay details for the driver hand unload.
