    It's official.. Schneider prefers teams to sit or deadhead hundreds of miles vs pulling freight.

    Whipper I'm in the same boat dude. I'm on the east coast with absolutely nothing to do. Yeah there's a few fecal loads for .80 and .90 going to areas with the same rate. There is nothing that pays decent unless it's so cal. And then that even ain't that great.

    I just came back to this coast for $1 and I'm trying real hard not to make that phone call to go solo. My wife doesn't want to give up driving so I'm trying my best not to make that call. I guess I will dead head to Florida from the north east and cool down for a few days.

    I sat Saturday night and Sunday thanks to no loads anywhere near Chicago.
    A solo board load to Evansville popped up so grabbed that, since booking it last night theres been zero loads pop up within 200 miles of here. Crazy.
    Just sitting now camping on the board.
    I was having a good week but everything blew up in my face Saturday night thanks for CS.
    Schneider has endless amounts of freight around Chicago, no excuse for that bs

    That is why I've always said its hard to have that home run week. Because almost always you will have to sit for a day. I had to sit for a day and a half for this $1 load back. And now there's nothing. I need to go home to Florida for a day anyways, so now is a good time as ever since there's nothing to do. I cant even get a crap load south unless I dead head 250+ miles to jersey city and take 95 down to South Carolina for a measly $600 lol.

    I'll just go now and save myself the headache.

    I would have had a great week if it weren't for CS screwing me over on a load.
    Still averaged in the $1.40 range this week but thats only because id rather sit than deadhead 300 miles for a .90 load lol.
    They say they don't post solo loads on the team boards that's BS. I've done a few so far, nothing great though.
    They need to give us more freight to pick from.. Schneider aint making any money either off us deadheading endlessly or sitting

    They make those weekly payments, get freight moved all at no cost to them and 35%plus off the top.

    Sounds profitable to me.

    SNI isn't losing money when you deadhead or sit either.
    So they win.

    How do they earn money off of me when I'm sitting or deadheading?

    You are just another leased truck..not to mention you're payments are due EVERY week.
    So sit or run they don't care is all I'm stating..YOU are losing money they are not.
    Time lost can never be made up..even teaming.
    Deadheading costs you everytime..fuel burned is money burned.
    Plain and simple..not trying to start a fight just putting it in plain English.
