    I just left Swift after 20 months with a clean record. I have no bills other than a phone, but maybe I should still wait to IC when and if freight picks back up????

    Did you leave without being approved for other jobs?

    Well yea, cause I spent my winter in S.E. Asia. I'll be returning to an orientation my first week back. This working 9 months a year with a job waiting your return is kinda cool. Mainly cause I was a safe driver.

    No, got a orientation seat at a smaller company paying .45 per practical mile. I hated Swift's straight line pay system. Between hub miles and the increase in cents per, it sould be pretty cool.

    To any Schneider employee or IC can you help me out with this dilemma. I rear ended someone last September, I took defensive driving class but I believe it's still on my record. I called the recruiter phone line and spoke to some lady that told me that I would have to wait 5 years after the accident to apply to Schneider company and the IC program smh.. Is this a serious requirement or do y'all believe Schneider would consider my application?

    I don't know but if it's on your record as an at fault accident then you'll have issues for sure.
    If it's labeled as not at fault i would think it would be worth a shot and see if they'd consider you again.

    I'll look up my driving record then. This really threw me for a loop on my plan to do the company to IC. If all else fails I'll run hard for another company hopefully a high cpm like Maverick or Prime for a year and brokerage my self once I have enough saved to start a lease and gathered the knowledge.

    So my original question was specific to the IC one year lease. Do you think even a person with limited personal over head should hold off on IC until when and if freight becomes fairly solid again???
