Need information about the Schneider choice program

I looked at both SNI and L/S. I always heard the same thing about L/S. Many good loads never see the board because a broker will call his favorite drivers. At least at SNI we DO NOT DEAL WITH BROKERS. SNI hauls nearly 10% of americas freight, that means more loads and more choices based on weight, length and total revenue. I have found that once you find the good lanes you can make good money and run 2200-2800 miles a week and if your really good can take your 34 at home every weekend. On SNI choice board you can't look at one load by itsself. If a load paying 1.20 a mile for a quick 400 mile run at 20,000lbs gets me to a 1400 mile run paying 1.80 a mile is only 7500lbs and is preloaded and dropped on the back side then you take it. All about averages here. Make the most for running the least. On a program like many are on they take what they get and really have no say. If you fail here at SNI on it choice board then a self evaluation may be in order.

 

ETCH what types of freight is on the board now i'm thinking of switching from company and am in the process of it now. Just wondering what types of loads are hitting the board. Any around Johnson city tn.

 

sni does have a finance co you can buy trucks from but this is not a lease purchase program. its for owner operators with experience only. i would suggest buying a truck elsewhere as from what i have seen the trucks sni has for sale are way overpriced.

 

talk to a sni recruiter. they can email you a screen caption of the load board. for us to tell you what loads are on the board in what area and what the rates are get realy close to a security breach. im not comfortable going there.

 

Ok i'm approved to transfer to Choice and tentatively set up for Jan 9th. I'm gonna buy a cheaper truck to keep costs down as far as fixed and hope to pay off in 24 month's. It'll be a change from being a company driver but i'm looking forward to it.

 

Good luck, Remember the SNI maint will inspect you truck during your onboarding. I came in with an older 770 and had to have a new 5th wheel installed. I was very happy with SNI and was taking new stoves, washers and dryers to calif (LA) and bringing back payless shoes to Fort Worth.

 

Thanks, well i am going to buy thru schneider and i know lots of people will say don't buy where you work but i've been with Sni for 7 years and know the ropes for the most part and i'm confident i'll make it. My concern is the economy.

 

can you choice operators give me a monthly cpm average to the truck as a comparison to mileage. I'm just looking a monthly not weekly i believe weekly would be to fluctual to have a honest idea. Thanks

 

i will sell you my 05 columbia with all new virgin rubber for $23k after the first of the year or $24k now. just passed sni inspection. 750k mi on 14l detroit. new radiator and starter too.
