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

I just left Palatka Yesterday and got 1.43 a mile counting deadhead but I took the load out of Georgia. I deadheaded to Ga. Well actually Bobtailed.

I do agree with Whipper there better pay good going in.

 

There is a lot of things going on in Charleston, Sc....freight is not one of them. You might want to check with SNI, I think they don't hire in that area. I could be wrong.

 

Man i feel ya there im not married but some days its nice being 1,000 miles away from her. Other days not so easy but for the most part i have fun doing this

 

I like being away from my wife, and I like being with my wife. It balance our relationship.

 

actually Schneider has now a new policy for Florida south of Tampa to Orlando line and it is the following. ...they will not allowed no owner operators to deadhead out of Florida for South Florida that is because of an incident that happened in the not so distant past from what I was informed in Green Bay

 

If SNI has a new policy then they should let everyone in on the secret. Plus, They can't stop an O/O from deadheading anywhere!! Then that becomes an employee/employer relationship when they start dictating what we can or cannot do. Just ask them for that policy in writing and there isn't one.

 

That happened because they had several owner ops del in Miami and never let anyone know they were dead heading out of there prior to getting there..so sni booked loads for those guys and then the day of the customer called asking where are the trucks...they then found out the o/o's left. ..so sni had loads booked but no trucks..

 

That's always SNI's story. Fact is, CS books loads as soon as they see loads going there not knowing who is delivering the loads, company guys or O/Os. Not knowing their NATs or NALs. So, what if the O/Os delivered in Miami but went to Fort Pierce, which is below the Tampa/Orlando line, to get a load. The loads in Miami are still needing trucks. See my point??

 

I, for one, won't go to Miami no matter what it pays!!! I went there once and everyone on the dock was carrying a Glock 9 mil. That tells me something!!
