Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

Didn't realize you'd get so butt hurt. I even admitted you still make money here you just have a lot of aggrevation to get it.

And I am one who has left SNI and the grass IS greener on the other side.

So yeah you have your sources and I have mine...We already know you have all the answers anyway....yet nobody #####es and moans more than you do.

 

My main point was you are just in a little more control of the intangibles there that helps keep the BP down.

 

I never said I wasn't making money here. Matter fact I just love the flexibility of being home that's the main reason.. but as a business I can clearly see the program going down.. For an example on any giving day in the beginning of the week you can pick any city in Indiana and put in a 190 mile radius and get 1100 loads..I did that last week and got 790.. Those loads didn't just run away. You're adding more ics and giving crazy incentives but the board has 400 loads less in a very productive area. The writing is on the wall. I'm not going down with the boat lol.. And for people without truck payments who say they making decent you can't really have an opinion.. You have little to no overhead..I can do good at Swift without a truck payment lmao

 

Here's you answer as to why new IC and company drivers are being added, and as to why delivery dates are being pushed out.

When preparing a prospectus for an IPO, it looks terrible to have idle equipment. You want as close to 100% utilization of assets as possible. If butts are in the seats, even if they are sitting in a truck stop waiting to unload 1-2 days later, that truck is being utilized.

They are playing games in order to make the numbers look great. If the economy tanks in the first half of next year I look for SNI to pull the IPO.

 

Not competing with company trucks? Ha, you're competing against the agent's personal fleets , not to mention they can outsource as much freight as they want. I did my homework on them . Oh and enjoy paying ALL tolls and trans flo fees .

 

Some us know how to run around toll roads or include the cost of tolls and other incidentals in the rates.

Of course there is going to be competition. But once you've established your relationship with brokers and shown you are dependable they will be calling you before you have to call them. Unlike SNI where you have to be an expert at the fastest finger competition online.
