You are reaching man, seriously stop digging, put the shovel down.

I am asking about rates because it is the best current source of data. I understand that it can and will change however it is the best current information available and can be used as a good indicator as to what it may be in 3 weeks from now when I need to get back home.

Hardly the same thing as calling someone a liar for offering some current information. Why not just ask questions, vet the quality and accuracy of that information, and file it away as the current status quo?

It is the same concept.
I as well as @Cledus Snow offered information which was that Schneider doesn't hire out of Florida.
However that could change in one day just like rates could change in one day.
Get it?

I didn't say you are lying, I said "if Schneider really did hire you".
There is a difference. I don't know for sure to make a calm calling u a liar or to know if you're telling the truth.
There are A LOT of people who come on here and make up random sheet so I just won't blindly and take to heart as 100% factual truth whatever someone posts on the internet.
Nor should anybody blindly believe whatever I or other ICs say because obviously things do change and sometimes we don't find out right away.
Don't believe everything Schneider tells u either... they do make up things including items as basic as appointment times.

And the sign on the door says, "receiving hours 0800-1700". Purina, Alpo, Friskies....... shouldnt matter what is being delivered.

Yeah; the sign says that, but out west the deliveries from the DC deliver at 0700. Go figure, lol

That's an average of 1.40 a mile, all miles. My equipment is completely paid for and i couldn't possibly consider running for that and stay in business for long. The only way that rate makes any money is if it's running coast to coast 3500 miles week in and week out.

Not mention its really not averaging 1.40
It's getting paid one way and paying to haul their freight back out.

Sooo when I get a message saying "don't take an empty at location 12345 after delivering load st# , there are not enough empties for every driver coming in"

Is that code name for we don't want ICs to take empties so we have enough for the company drivers headed in after you?

Yep & if there is an MT there I take it. Call in & tell them I found one.

I was under the impression that filing as an S corp also allows you to pay yourself as an "employee" with a W2 and file all additional revenue under the company EIN??

Nope, you file just like an LLC which is a sole proprietor for tax purposes. However you can file to be taxed as a c-corp even though you're not one & then pay yourself from a W2. A lot more paperwork involved.

Not even close. As a business owner you have to look at the avg rate of ALL the miles your truck turns. His post was just saying what the avg rate would be.

Yeah I get that and I understood what he said. Real averaging would be 3in 2out.
2in .80out would be what I said.
