    Thanks
    I think it's a good program by looking at it from the outside . What are some of the Midwest honey wholes so to speak and where do you want to stay away from in the SNI lanes ? I am Midwest also about 80-90 miles from nealeys landing , mo I live in between Murray and Paducah ky

    Should a company driver grossing $47k yearly with weekly hometime consider leasing through Schneider in the Choice Program? This is one option I have been considering after talking to a few contractors about it. They generally seem to be positive. What should I expect to earn roughly my first year while I learn the system? Thanks

    Your question can have many answers. All depends on many factors...
    Truck Payments?
    How fast you learn the system?
    Are you mechanically inclined? or do you pay someone to change a bulb.
    Weekly deductions charged by Schneider?
    Do you have buisness skills ?

    I would venture to say you might net about the same, with lots more headaches .
     
    RobC Thanks this.

    Is there a requirement for experience to get on with the choice program?

    One year as a owner operator verifiable you can go strait on choice but if not you gotta go mileage for at least 6 mths from what I was told a few months ago

    Hey guys no posts here in a while but figured I'd start here by asking, any updates on Choice Percentage? How are you guys doing on that board ?
