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

They wouldnt be white for long as soon as you enter a Schneider mudlot

 

That's pretty good.
If I knew I could run that lane everyday back and forth for $1.75 I'd drop choice and do it.

 

FW think no Viper payment you could have that...

lol that would be like an extra 3 Viper payments

 

I am sure that rig is tricked but 120 sleeper on a new NON Glidger Chassis is around 245k and that's pretty loaded up. Just sayin...

I bought a used Schnieder glider and here's my observations about the stripped down truck:
-trolley brake is not a big deal, I rarely used it much when I had one anyways
-def getting a dump valve installed. Dealer said it's isn't an involved installation
-getting an APU installed asap. Fuel is fairly cheap now but I still hate burning 10+ gallons a night

Otherwise the truck is great. If you do get a glider, be prepared to spend a couple grand on new fluids, balancing tires, alignment, shocks, etc. Put around 10k miles so far and not even a hiccup, knocking on wood!

 

Okay thats two viper payments then lol

 

If you live near Chicago, you can hit 4k gross and be home weekends. You really have to bust it out. I'm pretty new yet, but I shoot for 800 a day. It involves lots of short hops and occasional longer runs. Takes a lot of planning and logistics, but it's working for me so far. I live in NE Iowa/SW wis area.

 

I always use the trolley during my pre trips...hang my clipboard on it to check my brake lights lol. Other than that and tug test, I don't use mine either, but still like having it there. I completely agree on the APU...last company truck I had I had no APU/EPU and had to idle for AC...sucked down fuel like crazy, and that was a 13 litre Maxxforce

 

What kind of MPG are you getting?

Did you get a 2011-12 FL Columbia with the S60?

Roll on.....
