    Its been awhile, shoot actually it feels like its been awhile, but only about 2 months since i started with SNI on the choice program. Im making this thread as a tool to maybe help any drivers thinking about SNI on the choice program, i have not driven company so my only experience is on choice, and im still learning every day but im having a blast along the way, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I won't bore anyone with my reasons for coming here, they are actually pretty simple and it can be summed up in one word=FREEDOM.

    I will always be honest and straight forward with my experiences, i had a thread documenting my last company (UZ trans) and since I've been on the choice board i have never been happier with driving, I've been making the best money I've ever made, and a big one, im home pretty much every weekend, or every other, its all my choice and I couldn't be happier. I'll be on this thread documenting my experience in good times and bad and everything in between! Also if anyone has questions feel free!

    Not really, unless its to go "pick up an empty" but there are never any there! I live 5 min away from watt road, so i park at the flying J or petro when i go home. I never have any problems finding loads coming out of knoxville. Always a nice selection of loads going pretty much everywhere

    How long you been parking at Watt Rd? I am about to go with Maverick and will need a place to park my truck. Does the Flying Hook give you any issues parking there? What is this "choice board"? I just about went to Schnieder before I settled with Mav. If it don't work out with them then Schnieder said I have a slot with them.

    Nope i have not, you will be fine though im sure, most truck stops dont allow dropping a trailer, but i doubt that you'll have any problems parking it at any truck stop.

    My advice when parking at truckstop when going home...pull the curtains so that people think that there's someone in the truck.
