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

Well , jump back in when you feel the need.
The #1 thing to know is:
Get up early and run hard until you figure it out.

 

That won't be a problem. I'm coming from reefer work where I'm delivering at 0300-0600 half the time. Looking forward to dry van after 3.5 years of reefer.

 

Good luck , brother. It can be done and there's a bunch of folks who can attest to it.
Remember to save your money. You'll need around $15k in a full year for taxes.
Keep moving. If the wheels ain't turnen', you ain't earnin'.
If you're going to be out for a long time, make the time count. Man, you can get a $65 motel, a $20 pizza, and $20 worth of beer and have a very large time. Don't beat yourself up. You'll only hate what you do.
Don't slave yourself to a 50 mile radius and don't dead head a bunch of miles for a $2 load that goes 150 miles. Learn to know the difference.
Pay attention. Most of what you need to know will present itself.
Most of all, enjoy.
Good luck

 

I don't know if I told you, but I'm coming from a lease deal. I've gotten a tax refund every year for overpaying....and I've never paid more than 3000 dollars to the feds. If I'm making enough at Schneider to owe 15000 dollars..well, I won't be complaining.

 

Here's life

 

Well, if at every company the worst case scenario became life, the particular driver subjected to that treatment wouldn't last long...especially if it affected their money in such a way where they couldn't make ends meet...ESPECIALLY.

 

And the reply back was....?

 

Probably hasn’t been one yet. They have to look up how to spell “Durrrrr”...

 

But, like he said, if you don't update your times, they wear you out.
My philosophy has always been, I told you once when I'm going to be there. If you wish to change it, that's your business. Meanwhile, I'll be there when I said I'd be there.
