Schneider Bulk

All very interesting points. It seems that most of this is perspective and geography. Some areas are moving more than others and depending on your perspective the sign on bonus is either paid fairly or not. I can live with some areas being more active than others. I get that. It's logical. The bonus? Well I have the frame of mind that it gets paid out over time. It's not singular to the trucking industry to pay out bonuses that way. At least sign on bonuses. As far as idle times go, it's another performance metric and like any, I'll play around at the edges to see where I can be most comfortable without costing myself money. It's all about opportunity cost, right? What do I have to give up (not all the way but maybe a little) in order to make sure I'm getting my bonus. I can work with that.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Very enlightening. I will be posting my story as I progress with Schneider in the very near future. I am sure I'll be able to share a story from my perspective and I hope it helps others the way you all have helped me so far.
