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

Yes, just with a different pay structure.

We're I the IRS, or FMCSA, or Dictator of the World the whole "IC" thing would be very much different.

 

Re-read my post.

 

I was at an OC, on the board, planning my next few loads. Another IC, proceeds to tell me how he does 5k every week. Yep, confident as ####.He has been on Choice a month.

He said most drivers do it all wrong. I asked him where he runs? He said Texas. I had to laugh. He was totally serious! He books 2 weeks out consistently. His wife is an IT whiz and rides with him. When he drives, she is on the board.

I don't run like him just play the cards I am dealt. I realized then that no matter how much I put into this business, there will always be someone that can do it faster, more efficient, and more profitable than I ever will be able to.

I congratulate all the high revenue earners. Above all, with all the headaches involved to make a dollar, I just hope that everyone is happy, healthy and safe. 24 years in the industry and I can say we can always make more money, but we can never make more time.

Really Want To Respond To This But Apparently I Am To Stupid To Figure Out Why My Droid Capitlizes Every Word. Suggetions Anyone. Cant Seem To Work This Website On My Phone.

 

White Volvos, Track Suits,And 1099S With No Chance Of Ownership Would Concern ME Much More. It Is Rampid In This Industry. Why The Sni Ic Program Bothers You So Much I Am Clueless.

 

And To Close, Risk And Reward Is Something I Truly Dont Think You Understand. Im Glad Your Not King Of The Ic Thing. I Like It Just The Way It Is. Not Everyone Wins. We Dont All Get A Trophy.

 

As I have so often discovered, it is a waste of time to explain to people that will not listen. I know of people in all walks of life that can do incredible things. So I just listen.

The Schneider hierarchy, on the other hand, I will hang up and not listen. To them we are just a line on their screen. It's so much of a relief to remove myself from misery whenever I have the option.

 

I was thinking the same thing.
Man, there's guys on this board, (Sadwar and Freightwhipper) that always seem to do well above average, yet I seem to fall somewhere in the middle. But, I stay happy. I can run for 5 days and bank $2500, and I'm cool with that. What's most important to me is that I stay busy and I get home.......and make a little money.
Man, think about it........I'm somewhat lamenting that I only clear $2500 a week.....we're loosing focus along with our minds.
