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

That maybe fleet avg...but I'm telling you from what I see currently on board...I said they have cheap van loads but many are now $2mi range and up...van loads paying $2800 for 1100mi..I saw them..

 

Not sure when you were here but they've picked up a bunch just in the last few months. I sit by choice not because I can't find freight to run. Yes they have cheap freight but I haven't pulled anything cheaper than $1.24 a mile. I used to have to pull a lot for Schneider for less than $1 a mile to get out of where I live.

When I say Mercer is better for me it's not just about money. It's a better quality of trucking life overall for me. But that does include more profit going to my bank account.

Yes, there is a lot of $2 a mile + freight running intermediate to long miles but the majority of loads are still in the $1.35-$1.60 range. Not near as much of the cheap crap though.

 

That's all miles, not loaded. And also averages mean nothing. every company has a good chunk of folks that jyst can't figure out how to make money, say 20%. That 20 percent really drags the average down.

No...I just said there's quite a bit near that range..

 

Who are you leased onto now?

 

My bad I thought it was all miles didn't want to misspeak

 

And we are back to mine is bigger than yours again I see.
Who cares as long as the individual is happy with their Situation what difference does it make. Who is to judge what makes someone content? As long it's not illegal or injuring some one who cares

 

Most of us are in agreement with this. What works best for me, won't necessarily work best for john or tim, and vice versa. There simply is no best carrier.

 

I have tough skin. Put up or shut up.
