New IC contract. What do you think?

It may very well be the case low rate freight isn't getting covered however as a small business owner I can not afford to eat the cost of moving freight below my operating costs.

Schneider being a multi billion dollar a year company can afford to move freight at those rates.... if not they have the leverage of negotiating better rates where I do not.

If they want those cheap loads moved and that is what the new agreement is meant to do be honest and guarantee a minimum to haul said loads.

In my opinion it's more a power move to be able to gain back control over IC's who have figured out a way to play the game and find ways to be profitable and not haul cheap freight.

It's also a cost cutting move by Making IC's move mt trailers for them and not having company trucks do it.

Just my opinion.

 

I think your opinion is spot on

 

I have been here a minute and know how they operate and think.

 

How long before it "Has" to be signed ?

I'd say we're employees per California

 

That may be why they require a LLC if from California.

 

Probably .... But they still tell you (the LLC) what to do....

 

The GPS tracking in our truck is a big one. How about them having plates permits insurance maintenance ez pass for tolls total say in if we brake to hard or take a turn to fast.

Anything else I forgot.
