    Probably Charlotte and it's 4-5 days long. After orientation it's all on you right away.

    That week by itself was $6310 in revenue without the carry over. There was the $150 VNU for the load cancel factored into that.
    Fuel costs were 137 gallons at $2.544 and 167 gallons at $2.324 after the fuel discount.
    My weekly fixed costs are $1103 so that would put me around $4400.
    I averaged over 8 mpg for sure with all those empty and bobtail miles but a little fuel I figured carried over some from the week before.
    The two weeks before that my net settlements averaged $2450 or so and the week before that was a mopup week where I made something like $200 because my truck was in the shop all that time prior and the flease payments don't stop lol.

    Curious about something else though, having such control over where and how you run, what makes this a flease program?

    His posts are critiqued due to them being misleading by not including everything.

    As for my last line it was tongue in cheek but factual.

    I've been told SNI wants it to grow but in my opinion they're not keeping up on their end.

    I believe he likes the attention hence "flease" remarks.

    I'm just joking around when I say "flease".
    The truck payments are on the higher end though, no doubt about that.
    That's the price to pay though for getting an easy way into a truck and leasing a truck through a carrier.
    For me it's no big deal though.

    I don't really care about that. However I don't really enjoy all the negative energy that's been stirred up in this thread.
    I haven't changed since I've been on the forum, there's times I've cracked stupid or silly jokes and stuff like that before.
    On this thread though people have gotten all upset over that a few times.
    It's about having fun man! I don't like to be boring

    Oh yeah no doubt and at .90 + .25 FSC or something like that.
    This isn't a bad place to be and Schneider isn't out to screw people over.
    How many mega carriers offer a 1 year lease? Not many I've found.
    Schneider's reasoning behind that they told me was because they want to offer people a way in to "see if they like it and can do well" if they're unsure.
    There's a lot of clueless people working at Schneider lol that's for sure but they aren't out to screw over ICs here though. Well on the fuel discount they screw us a little bit.

    Remember Daniel son. Uncle Sam is going to have a field day with all that paper you stacking. Ya it's cool to post big numbers but what good is it when Uncle Sam takes a big chunk of it. Unless you are patriotic like that.:biggrin_25514:
