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

My uncle invested $50-100k in stocks three weeks before the market crash. I worked for him and every day while we were driving he'd crank up the radio during the stock announcements. One day I remember him saying "I just lost $10k this morning." Over night. Years of hard work for nothing. Pretty depressing but life goes on.

 

My apologies, didn't realize we couldn't have a conversation without smart mouth comments.

 

Yes they do!!!

 

I did van mostly. Switched to reefer for awhile but didn't like all the bs waiting at both ends. I can do an extra load a week minimum doing van.
I negotiated my own rates with brokers so I was in control of what I made.
As I said, 80/20 split. I got 80% of what I negotiated with each broker/load hauled.
As for proof, I have no reason to lie and Im not about to prove anything to anyone or post my rate cons here for anyone.
Don't believe me, stay doing what you're doing. I could care less. Go get Your own connections.

I booked my loads off the boards and also had several brokers I worked with regularly that emailed me what they had for the week and gave me first dibs. Yeah, I'm going to post that here for everyone. Get real.

 

Yes they have a load board. They have agents and load coordinator ( same as ICA ) so you have options as to how you pick loads. Best is, you are not competing with company equipment.

 

False. Wrong again smh. It's funny to see guys speculate bout companies they never worked for but they know so much about lmao

 

I booked off Internet truckstop load board. Not some company's board. And I said AVERAGED WELL OVER $2.00/mile which is the minimum average I set for myself. My settlements, after fuel, trailer, insurance, etc AVERAGED $2600-$2800 a week with many weeks @ $3200-$3500. My best week I took home $4900. This was hauling ps4s to all the BEST BUYS before XMAS which I did for 3 weeks.
I haul What I want, where I want, when I want. Period. I'm not an IC. There's no such thing. I'm an O/O leased to a company and call my own shots. As close to running under my own authority as it gets without actually doing it. No one controls me or what I do but me.

 

Ummm, maybe it's just FB but according Mercer guys, there are two boards.

 

There are more than two boards van and FB.. And if you go out West you don't sit for weeks smh unless you either are just that picky or you don't know what the hell your doing lolThat's what I was referring to

 

Okay , gotcha.
