    The problem with that scenario is this... Just when you think you can get on a nice little pattern running in a loop they will pull those loads and change everything up... I've seen it more times than not

    Yes, my wife and I own 2 other businesses and a farm.

    And maybe dabble in corn futures.

    They are full because they heard only what they wanted to hear. Only to find out that paying 180 grand for a truck that in 5 years will be worth 45 grand all while pocketing 30 cents a mile wasn't viable.

    I just keep going over the numbers... not being lazy, you can still make good money... not saying its easy for the lazy folks, but it is still doable if you run hard, and keep one eye on the road and one eye on the board. But heck what do I know right?

    I guess people just complain when things get harder to do, forever the lazy ones will complain...

    No one eye on the road and one on the board per SNI policies.

    Maybe you're right everyone on here telling you its difficult and not the ideal time to come on choice is just Lazy, we haven't made it this far but then again what do I know you only want to gear what will convince you to do it.

    So come on over with a strong work ethic, knowledge of SNI freight and lanes as well as the knowledge, patience and TTR as your guiding light you'll be uber successful.

    Of course don't forget Sni controls everything we do except clicking on loads. But I'd argue they do that also by limiting and manipulating the load board.

    Welcome aboard where the lie are plentiful and so is the heavy and cheap freight.

    If you look at all the major markets right now like Los Angeles Chicago parts of the Northeast Atlanta... Not only on this site but on the Sni Choice Facebook pages several IC's have been saying this... how on Earth is there only 50 loads within an 80-mile radius of any one of those markets for a multi-day time period??.... I understand along with many others that January is typically slow but it's not this #### slow... they are withholding loads off the board.. I just left Laredo and they have four and a half Rows of loaded outbound trailers but yet less than 10 loads available on the board... And by the way company trucks coming in and out all day long... it is manipulation of the freight

    Cmon drvr, SNI would never do that...or give away your already booked load to a company truck because they determine they profit more doing that and giving you a $150 VNU and screwing 3 days of your planning. Let Polish find out the hard way...I am. Only difference was Thai wasn't so ####y thinking I knew it all when asking for advice.

    Two types of auto freight. There is pallets of shoes and rotors that will sit on a shelf for a month, and then there is JIT that the whole plant shuts down if you are 30 minutes late. The former is cheap, the latter is far from cheap.
