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

1060 a week as an ic? Holy crap that's ridiculously low. I made more than that today.

 

the definition of reasonable is "having sound judgement, sensible and fair", so i would say no.

 

Do you work at schnieder? Ic? Sfi?

 

no, he runs flatbed. whole different ballgame.

 

No no and hell no.

 

In market economics? Judgement depends on expenses, sensible is what people accept, and fair is what the market will bare.

I'm certainly enjoying picking my own loads, but I don't know what the ceiling is in trucking for me to judge the money I'm making compared to the guys who are closer to the 'pure' numbers.

 

Deleted. Lol

 

What is possible/likely now is different and will vary person to person.

You need to figure out YOUR fixed expenses per day/week (truck payment , maintence/reinvestment fund, insurance - truck and health, etc) or mile and your variable expenses (fuel, etc) per day/week or mile. Then figure out what you need to be happy.

When I did the math 3-4 years ago I would have needed to average 1.60 a mile (all miles) on 2500 miles a week to match what I make as a company driver.

They toss out the 1.40 a mile because that is what guys on choice average. Can you do better? Sure, but think long and hard before you sign up.

 

Anything is possible, including failure
