    That's not helping what's going on in here.
    I'm not no master, still got a long way to go learning how to get the most of this.
    However I am light years ahead of where I was when I started.
    Nobody can come into choice and pull awesome weeks right off the bat, neither did I.
    There's soooooooooo much to learn in order to get the most out of this.
    I'm still learning man..
    Most recent lesson has been to snipe loads carefully and plan ahead around holiday time if I plan to work.
    Stupid Schneider mislead me with them sending out that NAT is very important around Holiday time and that many customers are still looking to move freight. Well whenever Holiday time comes loads take a massive dump.
    When I got my truck out of the shop (the first time when Kenworth screwed it up) memorial day weekend I sat because there was ZERO loads anywhere remotely close to me.
    What a load of BS that was, I ain't falling for that anymore.
    I kinda got lucky and got a load on July 4th in North Bergen, NJ. Wooo buddy they weren't happy to see me and the Swift driver in front of me.

    See now that's better FW you told it how it is before when you posted the pay settlement you made it appear as if that was just 1 week. So it was misleading to us that saw it.

    Keep posting I have no problem with that now.

    As for those who have an issue with those of us who question his posts it's only because we are doing it too.

    We knew he didn't do 7k without carry over.

    So because some of us question and don't just agree were not aloud to post what's on our mind?

    So by your post you only like freedom of speech as long as it's speech you agree with.

    I'm glad you are able to say what you want even if I disagree.

    If I've got something to say I'm gonna say it whether on TTR or in person.

    This last sentence ^^^, is driving the drama in this thread. TennMan and the other ICs lose leverage if the Choice Program grows as rapidly as TennMan claims Schneider wants it to. They don't have faith in Schneider to not lower the rates as leverage swings Schneider ' s way. Hence, FW's posts are put under a microscope.

    Couple questions if someone don't mind answering. I live just outside Atlanta, where would I go to orientation and how long is it? How long to get in truck and rolling after orientation if I do a 1 year used freight shaker? Thanks.

    People didn't believe it was possible to clear $4k after expenses per a work week. The loads I posted showed how that was done. That week though I had more than that come in but some was carry over money.
    The loads by itself and the one VNU in that week was $6310 in revenue on around 2800 miles.
    No normally I don't have weeks like that.. there's good weeks and not so good.

    Nevermind. Not losing sleep over it so it doesn't affect me one way or the other.
