Running With Schneider!

Thank you! Congrats! Wish you the very best! The liberty now have beats desk job 100%. Granted, don't have much home life but the wife and I work it out just fine. In future should be home a lot more though! Look us up when you get out here on the road! Again, best of luck!

 

Delivered in AZ and fortunately some fresh loads came available and was able to pick a really light 3700 pound-er (load of Dixie cups) and make it back here in Fontana CA. Load board in Phoenix was looking a little thin there for awhile. Most loads out of Phoenix to Cali are really cheap but get paid well going in

Now going to do another short load here in southern Cal then grab a load going on up to Oregon!

Keep on keep-in on!

 

True, that's what I noticed too

 

Hey man that is great!! Glad these post helped. You have a great plan. I didn't know when going in that I was going to O/O with schneider but really glad it worked out this way. Knowing SNI and how their operations and freight lanes work gave me a good knowledge base as I went into O/O. Of course most can figure it out but definitely made a difference for me. You will gain knowledge about their systems and make it work for you as O/O.

Good luck!

PM when you can, will help out if possible with any questions..

 

Pressing on... I swear, going across the I 210 and I 5 through Grapevine pass in southern cal is like hitting turbulence in an airplane for 2 hours straight!

Grabbed a Short load out of Southern CA up to Bakersfield yesterday. Then deadhead back down to Fontana and grabbed my next load headed to Oregon. Productive day! left early AM from Fontana and landed here in Redding CA for the night.

Met another IC driver as I ended my day today, and we both agree this really is best way to truck if your going to do trucking for a living! Obviously we understand it's not for everyone and others are very happy as company drivers etc... But for us specifically as we were talking about it we were like a couple of kids laughing and joking admiring our accomplishments. Just was cool to meet an experienced driver (30 years, a lot more than me) with some same ideas and concepts about what we are doing out here as Lease O/O and how we are making a living!



Trucking on!

 

Delivered that load in Oregon and grabbed another out of Portland OR. heading to Vegas (where I am now). Gotta get up at 4am and deliver this "at appointment" load (at appt means not early not late at the specified time) ughhhh! However, after that taking some time off to get settled in the new house. If you recall (those reading this thread) I been paying extra on my truck note so now I can take vacations. The way I have it set up should be able to take 5 to 6 weeks off per year without hurting my pay/or getting to far behind. Just would suck after being home for a week and have to come out and be $1000 bucks in the hole for next week If you know what I mean!

Anyway, keep the freight moving ... I"m going home and kick it for a while BBQ, pool, beach time, boating! yeah that's what I'm talking about!

Be safe!
