    another thing with the mobile app and the GPS on the trailer is out when they assign me a trailer I'll pull up the GPS on that trailer and it'll show that trailer either on the customers or going down the road... Also when I look to see if its on the customer's property I can actually see that the dang thing is sitting in a loading dock... I did that on an empty trailer in Matthews North Carolina and I took it inside to my ICRand showed him the location of the trailer and he called the customer service rep for that account and they send me down the street to another place to get an empty...

    Aren't you getting hit with an additional fee for going in the hole and not making your truck payment. I know the week I took off I just had them auto draft my payment from my checking account.

    When I know I'm going to take a lot of time off I have it set up to have my costs taken out of my bank account. That way there's no going in a hole, fees or whatever.. just my bank account looking smaller haha.
    Weekly total money is $1103 a week. $135 of that is my maintenance money but I don't really count that for a truck that's sitting. I need to call in the insurance people (however I do that lol) because I remember in class as the truck gets older you can have the insurance adjusted to where the premium goes down.

    Too funny mentioning the insurance. I just emailed my CRM about how to do that literally a few minutes ago

    uh huh... those big ol costs stare me every week and for another two years.
    When you lease a new truck that's the way it is.
    You don't have to run every week, I don't.
    I try to knock out a few week weeks, (usually 2-4 weeks) then take from a few days to a week off.
    I could be home every weekend if I wanted to but that would mean a big pay cut as Tennessee isn't exactly a big money zone.

    Few weeks ago I contacted my SFI ref how to do it and was told to contact the insurance people. Forget to ask for the number though :oops:
    Another thing to do.

    If I'm not mistaken FW, you can go on to Crossroads and click on the Payment tab and you can make your payments like insurance to Schneider that way... That's what I was told in Green Bay in orientation
