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

Think 10*3000 lb pallets to 15*2,000 lb pallets loaded in the nose. The last pallet would be between the 20-34 foot mark - well in front of the tandems so all the weight would be on the drives. Had that happen a few months ago.

 

Ya, that'll do it too.

 

Idk how they did it but I was really really upset.. 900 dollar ticket for someone not knowing their job..I still don't scale 30s because I'm convinced it was a freak accident lol

 

...Home Depot loads are NEVER accurate to the weight they claim. They WILL be 3-5K off every time, minimum. Did that gig for 3.5 years and unless it was under 25K, I weighted that baby. ESPECIALLY out of Topeka.

 

Had one out of Dallas. Lady at the window told me to weigh it as soon as possible because the people on the dock don't know how to load trailers or add up weight. 35000lbs turned into 42500lbs. Trailers loaded by Swift.

 

High dollar loads going to Denver area...2.00 plus a mile

But it's only .78/mile coming back out. Denver is a freight blackhole.

 

.78 a mile if you're afraid to go over the mountains or don't want to go to Oklahoma or DFW. Otherwise, 1.10-1.30 is doable, and considering what you make getting here (if you plan well) it averages out none too bad.

 

How is the Northwest for Schneider Choice?
