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

Smart choice. Pun intended.

I'm very curious, what is the freight availability in the Northern Virginia/DC area?

 

not great, and what there is is heavy.......I know, I'm currently looking for something out of Newport News.....but I have till Thursday, so I'll be fine.

 

Not much in the immediate dc, northern VA area it's mostly in Winchester and some in Baltimore. It just pays lousy leaving.

 

Even though it's cheap it also books fast.

 

No doubt about that. 92 cents a mile gone before you can even bend over.

 

I can't believe how much freight came to a halt this week! I sat in Columbus most of the day yesterday trying to find something worth running, and there was nothing, at least worth running in my business plan. Took a #### relay today out of the Obetz yard more or less just to do something. Freight slowed down in the reefer world first quarter, but ####!! Nothing like this

 

It'll get even slower, Schneider will hold freight until they're positive a company truck can't do it then dump it on the board.

I had 11 loads from same shipper this past week saved in my favorites.

Within 1 minute of confirmation all 11 were gone.

They've over saturated the board to fill empty trucks.

It's not about us being profitable only them.

Either way I'm a short timer, once lease is complete I'm gone.
