Question for SNI choice guys. Why did you choose?

I'm curious as to why the large bonus is being offered.....

 

Good read. I'll apply with Landstar first, but SNI looks like an ok alternate. Might put in a app with Mercer van too. Any other options for the Midwest first timer O/OP?

 

You don't think Landstar is safety conscious ?
Sit on a ramp or on the shoulder and let another LS o/o see you.

Believe me you will find about safety real quick.

SNI leaves you alone for the most part..elogs,no uturns and backing onto a roadway are there for reasons.

The phone use while driving is a bit much..but with the sue happy crowd that now permeates our culture I understand that too.

 

When one chooses to run with SNI Choice, can you choose the regions you are willing to drive into? As an example can one choose to run Chicago to LA, LA to Seattle and Seattle to Chicago?

 

No regions u pick where u want to go. If load is on board that pu say NYC where u at going to LA. U choose if can handle it

 

Yup..you choose where you go and how much you're willing to pull it for.

Rate/fuel surcharge are built in..so you know exactly what you'll make.

Plus how many days you want to work..if you lease as long as you cover your payments they will never say anything to you.

On the flip side if you aren't making it..look in the mirror and yell at who you see.

 

Thinking of doing it myself. Tired of being a company driver. Any suggestions for someone moving to SNI and the Choice program?

 

Be able to trip plan and always watch the load board. Book freight that runs in the areas you prefer to stay sane. Keep track of expenses and watch your costs. Slow Down when you can and Pre Plan and trip plan for every load

 

good advice... Also try to have a backup of money. Open a Tab Bank Allianc prepaid Mastercard so you can buy with the cards discount at somewhere where the fuel is cheaper than the Pilot/Flying J's. Have a good smartphone with a teather account so you can search the load board with your lapto most anywhere.

 

i was mainly referring to the quarterly safety training and quarterly truck inspections. most of the other stuff (backing into roadways, etc.) is stuff i would hope to be common sense.
