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

My opinion. If they want to cut the cord they should open up your choice board with all their loads . Not the 25 % they force you to cherry pick . Skate or die

 

Ummmmm.......a couple of things, Dudie......#1. a Landstar driver had the exact same load I had coming out of McDonough going to San Antiono.....same weight, same live unload at HEB, same appointment time. I asked what he got paid for the load and it was $250 less than I was getting. #2. Mercer, as I understand it, is good for flatbed drivers but the van guys have a tough go of it (according to them).
Finally, didn't you come back to SNI Choice from LS because you couldn't make it over there? Something like that anyway......

 

He came back from Mercer.

 

Yes Mercer hauling vans, I know because he gave me crap about the flatbed Mercer board, and when asked well how does it work then? Never heard back.

 

To both of you guys first off if you think the rates here are better than LS than great.. I can careless.. But I know personally guys that are at LS and they have loads that blow some of these loads away... And since we want to get into where I'm from yea I was at Mercer.. There van rates are waaaaay better than here.. I just didn't want to be gone for weeks and I wasnt feeling the coast to coast runs... If I had did flatbed from the start I probably would've never came back. Now why I came back.. I came back for convenience. Me and my ICA are like friends.. We get along great. He knows me and I can go weeks without calling in..I have kids that are young and I like being home much as I can.. I have one year left on my truck and I wanted to finish it stress free... So I came back but that don't mean the rates here are better... Smh

 

Freightwipper,
I'm still researching my possibilities for after CDL school, what are you running for a trailer, van, flatbed?

 

FW is on a private account hauling for the FBI how else can the man afford a dodge viper? God knows hes not making any money leasing a truck and pulling a pumkin on wheels around

 

Is that the new FBI Dedicated acct U guys have been talking about?

 

FW theres parts of the "West" that is ok....theres lots of dead freight areas...As you know I live in Denver and play the Western 11 alot...you got to be on your "A" game or you will be at a 1.00 to 1.25 a mile...I left Denver today back to Midwest...for a few months I will just fly home no big deal...
