SCHNEIDER CHOICE PROGRAM - FREEDOM AWAITS " YOU " by JAR-HEAD

Any idea what the succeed:fail ratio is in the Choice program? Some of the non-SNI companies' lease agreements almost prevent success for the lease holder.

 

You'll never get an accurate number.

What's considered a fail? If a guy was doing good on the lease bit got offered a local job making the same money so he turned the truck in would that be a fail? Not on my book but others say yes because he didn't complete the lease.

 

We had an ICA GENT in our orientation who claimed a 62% retention rate on his board if that gives you an idea.

 

That's the conclusion I came to after reading these Choice forums. It's the one aspect that makes me lean toward Choice as my first choice, even though ownership is not a goal of mine; traditional mileage leases are different and I would have to be very confident of high, consistent miles if I was going to be the guy paying for the fuel and such. Of course, a lot would depend on the expenses the company picked up, too.

Decisions, decisions...

 

I am retired and collecting both a pension and Social Security, and my health insurance is taken care of, so my income needs are probably very different from most drivers. Starting January 1, I will have a higher no-penalty income max (a Social Security thing) and on October 1, 2015, all income restrictions are removed. For me, comfort is important and fuel economy is my number 1 consideration, so having a new(er) truck with an APU of some kind is critical. Paying more for it is a worthwhile expense.

The only downside so far is all the northeast travel...

 

I disagree. They have to have a certain percentage of successful applicants or the All powerful swamp in D.C. will shut the program down. However, good luck getting a percentage.

 

WTF!!!!!!!!
