Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

Well, my last day with solo van will be the 25th. My wife is going through ADTC, and we will be hopping in our new truck the 27th for the team division. Thank God. I will be counting the days that they let my wife become an IC. Countdown to not being a company driver begins.

 

congrats tynodine..... I'm sure y'all we be happier as IC

 

My wife and I had a thought the other day - do you think trucking companies (all of them, not any specific ones) treat company drivers the way they do with the hopes that the driver will throw his hands up and sign a lease so he can do his own thing? I feel like the company would probably get way more money out of a leased driver because of all those truck payments. Of course, I could be way off. Just a thought

 

There are a lot of companies out there that treat their drivers bad and do not even have a lease program, so I would say it's more just the trucking industry in general. Truck Drivers = not real humans

 

Trucking companies preach a driver shortage....... Truth is they are talking about a CHEAP driver shortage.....They want new drivers who make .25 cent a mile.

 

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, right back to an afternoon load for Friday. There goes my Friday night!

 

Finders fee is mileage pay if you happen to get assigned one of the loads

 

Didn't see the message, but I got back early today about 2 so it was probably sent after that. There are a few NC trailers sitting in the yard next to ours, noticed them today. I will keep my eye out at customers.

I have ATD in indy tomorrow, 1300.

 

Is this true? http://wsj.com.sundaytimesdaily.com/schneider-looking-at-buying-walmart-transportation.-/r/2669
