Schneider Choice Program

I wasn't saying good , bad or indifferent as far as the how much he was making.. Just stating what was relayed to me.. And yes sir he has a Lease truck the SNI..

I will say that I stay out for 10-14 days at a time.. AND I'm being 100% honest about my income I have really great weeks where every thing lines up and weeks where they don't... I average out after all expenses (being truck payment, insurance, fuel and maintance account) aprox 1500/week.. Now I was down for 4 weeks having a new engine put in my truck at SNI's expense.. and I don't run north east or out west this time of the year.. So if your willing to truly chase the frieght I think you could do a lot better than me.. And I'm totally honest I've only been doing this since July 1st so I still have more to learn.. but I'm getting there and working at it every week.. Also if you have a situation where you have a better half at home that can watch the load board for you, you will do a lot better b/c loads post out during the day some at night , but mostly during the day, so you would have a better shot at getting a great or better load than maybe me.. just being honest

 

Hey, if anyone wants to know anything about the choice program, let me know. I been running the choice program since July 2010. I dont know anything about the lease side , so dont ask. All i can say about that is dont do it.

 

I'm looking into Schneider choice.....i have experience as a lease operator...is it hard to make money and what are the best freight lanes....also are the newer trucks expensive?

 

How is the choice program for someone who runs 21-26 days a month? I have my own truck. Looking to come out of the Central Wisconsin area.

 

It works good for both the days out and central WI area. There are quite a few loads going into the Walmart DC near Beaver Dam. Then there are all of the shippers SNI has delat with for years up there or just deadhead to Chicago if all else fails. Its been 2 years since I pulled for SNI on the Choice, but from what I have heard things haven't changed much...besides the slow and stupid "Work Flow" program on their sat. tracking systems.

 

Any updates from the SNI choice drivers?

 

I like choice / pick your own freight/ no problems. Get on loadboard/ book freight 24/7 no agents or dispatchers getting in your way of making money. I've been driving for 9 years, never been totally happy at a company until now. FREEDOM! Finally what a great feeling @ Schneider. I run everything east of I-35, O/O $1600-$2600 per wk. (avg. bring home pay) L/O $1000-$2000 per wk/// it is what you make it. Up to you on how hard you want to run. Good luck Drivers

 

How is SNI Choice treating everyone these days??

 

The loads are getting scarce. It's getting harder to put deals together. Rates are all over the board. But you can make a descent living running choice. I would not lease a truck through SNI!

 

So are you having to sit or DH a lot? Not what I wanted to hear!
