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

It's not exactly "unfortunate", if it sucked here nobody would want to come lol.
At least Schneider is holding back on hires and not letting endless people join that want to now being the freight market tanked.
Things are a little better now but i think thats just cause winter is over.

From what I've heard the team board does suck.
Lets face it, Dry Van pays crap.
Only reason many ICs do well here is by providing SERVICE which means shorter loads, multistop loads, loads in population centers etc.
These 1000+ mile loads pay crap and long loads is what goes to the team board supposedly.
Heck most 500 mile loads pay crap here too.
If you're cool with running around for cheap and easy Dry Van work then IC team choice is for you.
If not then I'd look elsewhere.

 

I agree with this.
Teams there get PAID buddy!

 

If you're a company driver that's pretty much the way it is.
A lot more freedom comes with being an IC but so does a lot more responsibility.

 

Yup and now i can sleep when I'm tired, work hard when i want, take off when i want etc.. that's priceless.
My company Reefer days i was constantly changing my sleep pattern to adjust to appointments.. yeah don't miss that!

 

Live load this morning, customer told me to drop empty on road in front of docks and that yard jockey will put it in a door. Its been 90 minutes, still nothing.. empty still sitting there.
Yard jockey went past it a bunch of times.
At what point do i go in and say "wtf"?

 

Don't worry, those $0.90 loads going south will be back up in no time

 

I see multiple loads going south currently, they all pay peanuts of course though
