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

So let's see, one week out:

2800 miles x $1.15 = $3220
2800 ÷ 7 mpg = 400 gallons
400 x $2.60 a gallon = $1040, throw in say $20 for DEF.
Then $1100 for all the weekly Schneider/SFI deductions.

Grand total $1040 to you, less than a company driver and at a higher tax rate.
Company driver 2800 miles ×.45 = $1,260

Now if the IC took 3 days off in a week at those same numbers they'd pretty much break even maybe earn $140 or so where as a company driver would earn roughly $700.

These people are out here earning less than a company driver for more work/responsibility.
With Schneider having ICs with that kind of mentality rates will never go back up again.

 

when they said "running for $1.15" I was giving the best case scenario that "running for" meant all miles.

 

Well hey that's better than the $1.15 guy lol
