    Except for the part your not REALLY in control of your business when you run under SNI's umbrella and are forced to run the scraps they put out there for you.

    Would be a different story of they let you find your own freight when in a market where there freight is lacking.

    Scraps? I'm still averaging over $1.70 all miles every week while giving up 35%, pulling a Van and working for a mega carrier and there's drivers here that do better than me.

    How many other Van drivers leased to carriers do that or better?
    I dont know of any and that's why I'm still here.

    I'm doing a whole lot better than that, i got lucky being a shipper loaded the wrong product on me so I'm being paid extra to do a bunch more stuff.
    Still working on the same load, still looking this leave VA once done with all this extra work.
