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

I live in South Ga and would welcome any suggestions other than the "usual suspects".
And I do enjoy the industry, it has been very good to me. That said, I won't work for BS, and I'm tired of everybody changing the rules in the middle of the game.
Look, here's the deal, I pick up your stuff and I deliver your stuff where you tell me to and you pay me. Simple as that. You find me someone like that in south GA, I'll appreciate it. Oh, and I go home when I say I go home.

 

A few weeks ago I was asked to reposition a trailer before home time inside of my home market. 50 miles oor. I said no. ICR threw said contract in my face. I calmly explained I fully understood the contract but wasn't moving a empty inside of my own market for 25$. She put me on hold came back and asked if I would reconsider because the shipper was in desperate need of empties. I gave in. Take one for the team right? Get to shipper, they don't want the empty but point to a company truck outside the gate and tell me he has been here 2 hours waiting for one.
Example 1.

 

and there ya go.......smh
the kind of cheap ###, low stuff the box people have started playing. I would have taken it home and told them the shipper said he didn't need one

 

I'm really confused by the video. If he completed the lease term, why is there a remarketing fee? My answer would be to pound sand and I'll see you in court.

 

It was last week and they sent me to statesville to get empty. Load out of Hudson.

 

Yep, that's BS for sure but I bet that driver waiting was happy. Had you refused he might of waited a few more hours.

 

Ah, maybe he could of gone looking for himself?

 

How does that work? Company drivers can just roam around looking for empties on their own? I've never been company here so I have no idea.

 

Example 2.
When leaving the house box claims the closest empty is 78 miles oor to my next load. I know this is not right and go to a receiver who has empties lined up on a public street for know where else to put them. They only receive never ship. Nothing but empties. Call in was told I can't take one. They proceed to send me to a desolate facility that has a lonely empty that SNI needed moved and back in the pool but would never consider paying a company driver to go fetch. Cheaper to pay me fifty. 3 hours,15 gallons, and some of the worst goat paths you have ever seen. You want more examples.

 

should have taken it and rolled on......find something that says Schneider on it and roll
