    Pssh those numbers were back when freight wasnt in the tank, that "cakewalk" you actually have to work for now. I think why many of the Schneider drivers are always cranky and beachibg often is because we were spolied in the past, myself included.

    I remember to gross $5000 in a week all id have to do was 350 miles a day at $2 (which was very easy over two loads) and I'd have a very nice paycheck without working hard. Those days are over with

    According to DAT freight rates have jumped about 5% on van and 10% for reefer as of last week. Maybe things will start improving, who knows

    Things are a lot better than winter that's for sure but compared to last year it's still not even close.

    Not to seem like I'm a A-hole but me and my buddy at the blue star had this convo about DAT numbers and I told him that both of our companies mainly pull contract freight so why get caught up in it. Yea it may have a small trickle down affect but not enough to tell our shipper that they should pay more or less according to a public load board
