Schneider choice program orientation and getting truck Schneider finance

This is true. I downloaded the "Transflo" app some time ago waiting because was told SNI was going to provide the code to us. Thanks Wheelwell Didn't dwan on me to call TF I just registered with TF looks like it should work just find..Cool!

 

Thanks for the no BS information leftlanetruckin. I dont say much on these forums. been Driving 13 years. I have a little over 80,000 saved and looking forward to running my own equipment. Your knowledge is appreciated.

 

Elaborate ?

Are you saying they don't compare on what - Scanning paperwork

 

The OP did not fail he got a bad truck and it stayed in the shop . That's hard for anyone to overcome

 

We have been on IC for almost a year and doing very well. Also having a blast going anyplace we want and seeing the country. I would recommend this program for anyone able to run their own business and has to be looked at that way.

 

I've made the decision to go on choice over LS . I'm 95% sure this is what I'm gonna do . I've talked to a few SNI folks on here that are supper helpful and one on the phone also which speaks high of the program .

I look forward to bringing my truck to SNI soon

 

From a business stand point ..

It make 1000 x more business since to buy from Arrow or Lone Mountain over the SFI deal . For one your payment is based on 12 months and not 52 weeks . And the payment will be lower . My truck is a 2006 and I wouldn't trade it for a new one even up .. Once you add all the costs of the new age Post 2007 emissions .. It make more economic since to stay older and rebuild and get a APU .

Unless as you want to run Cali then different story but same concept even if you want a 2009-2011 vs a 14/15 truck . Got to look at the following

1. CPM ( cost per mile )
2. ROI ( return on investment ) for something such as a APU unit .
3. MPG ( which is part of your CPM but is a controlled or variable expense .
4. Fixed costs outside of the truck ( tags , Ifta , etc ) this is also part of your CPM

things to think about :

1. Vented mudflaps can save you almost 1% MPG or fuel consumption
2. Air tabs do help but it's most likely less than 1/2 % or unmeasurable
3. Turbo wraps work again most likely 1/2%
4. Close the trailer gap when you can - every inch over 18 inches from rear of your rear fairing to front of trailer cost you 1/10 mpg . Some loads you can't do it cause of weight but most you can .

5. Good rolling resistance ( RR ) tires going from a 140 RR tire to a 105 is right at 3/10 mpg increase .


Its it's a business you have to treat it as such to succeed

 

LOL, I explained it on the other forum. I also emailed my settlements to the guy who didn't believe the $ I said I made or the rates I run for…. SNI doesn't see the rates I get…...

 

I guess I'm confused as to why you need to pull out your " Thing " to show it's longer and staying consistent about it . We see you made good money I never doubted you did . However revenue is just one part of being in business . It's takes allot more knowledge than a rate and a specialized van Dedicated gig to prove your a business person .

Im not bashing you just telling you the facts of business . Revenue is only but one fact of business because there are folks out here that can turn that profit margin on far less revenue gross . I guess what I'm saying is you actually could make even MORE net revenue if you controlled your costs etc ..

Again not bashing

 

You also need to admit that your the number you posted is not indicative to a normal BCO at LS .

Dont by get me wrong I'm happy for you cause we all need to make a great profit . But that margin and that rate you get on that run is not the norm at LS
