    Anyone been leasing with schnieder for a year and can give me actual net gross income? Before taxes but after everything else. Im bent in which avenue i wanna drive down. Sfi sni or company for a flatbed which pays 66k gross salary performance pay option like 70k. However if i can make that at schnieder id choose that since i prefer the freedom of leasing and picking own frieght. Ive completed numerous leases with another company so i know leasing isnt a scam. I just wanna know what some real numbers are looking like at schnieder finance. Is 70k a year reasonable? Atbs told me id gross about 1064 dollars a week on 2500 miles. I know i could do better tho righr? I drive 3000 miles everyweek unless problems arise

    Freedom and leasing do not belong in the same sentence.

    With the rates right now as they are, Schneider would be the least lucrative option, unless lack of capitalization forced you to do so.

    I'm in regular contact with an ex Schneider choice driver who has DOUBLED his income since breaking out on his own, leased to another outfit.

    Good luck.

    $1064 on 2500 miles is .42cpm

    The guy I know went from $1.40 all miles to the truck - to $2+ mile overnight.

    But - he had turned in his lease truck, bought his own with his own financing, calculated every step of the way and knew what he was doing.

    50% of LS BCO's have contracts terminated in the first year. Van is at 65%, so forget that option when rates return to normal.

    Gain the experience with a company, research, save, prepare, and equip.

    Good luck.

    How often do we have to read that???

    It's all about running the fewest miles for the most income

    I heard someone say
    “Less Miles, More Money”

    Seems like a good way to go.

    Why is it never running the most miles at the highest rate possible. I mean if you can turn 3000 miles at 1.80 per mile why not? Just curious is it drivers just don't want to work, I mean 2000 at 2.00 a mile is great but why sit somewhere waiting for free. Guess I'll fail miserably one day. LOL

    Less miles more money more miles is the answer 2500 miles at 1.8 is less than 3000 at 1.8 just do a crap ton of short runs its not hard
