    In a nutshell, apparently the significant change is if you deadhead more than 100 miles to get your next load, you have to make a choice (hey, it's called the "Choice" program for a reason).

    You must:
    1) drop your current empty trailer and bobtail to the next area, thus having to find another empty trailer in your new area, or
    2) take your current empty trailer with you and be charged $250.

    How often do you DH greater than 100 miles? As often as you want to. If all of the loads in your area are, for example, paying $0.90 cpm and you can deadhead to another area that is 102 miles away and is paying $1.43 cpm and goes 1100 miles into another good paying zone, you DH the 102 and don't even think about it. With the new change, you have to consider being hit with the $250 fine.

    That sounds like a good idea for Schneider. As a business man I would figure how to make the most off the .90 a mile.

    Well crap. I miss the TK APU. That one never gave me problems like this carrier. First, it was a coolant leak and now the a/c went out on it. All it's doing is blowing hot air. Looks like I'm idling the truck for a few hours til it cools down outside.

    Setup to take to a Utility/Carrier shop in Stockton after delivery tomorrow morning.

    I think you can park at Schwans. If not, I think there is a truck stop a couple of miles north on 135. There is also the Petro(?) and Pilot on 70 a mile or so east of the 135-70 interchange.

    We have one terminal on sapula ok. Det and layover depends on the load. Never had a problem with home time. I stay home about a week usually. No kids so I can't answer that one. No penalties for payoff. More miles faster payment. I have heard they check computer setting however I don't mess with settings. No dedicated.

    After 4 hours from close of window


    No.

    13?

    No

    What does this mean. Truck ECM? Qualcomm?

    Covered. Can't be during school session, though

    Still no.


    I didn't think very highly of it.

    No.

    All paid by them.

    Very, very few.

    Nope. Got a friend that is trainer but not with SNI.

    I was orange for 7years and never had a problem with them, that's why have no problem recommending them. I got out of the biz and when I returned I had two choices; Choice SNI or JCT. I have no problem with JCT but in hindsight I think SNI would have been better.

    PS. When I got my cdl in 94 I went with CRE. Took me two weeks to figure out that mother ####ing piece of #### company was only out to #### the drivers up the ### with no lube. God #### ####ing ####hole is still ####ed
