    Anyone out here working for Schneider under their PowerPlus program? I am considering trying it , but I`d sure like to hear from someone already in the program.It seems like you can`t get any real dollar amount answers from their office .

    Redrider tried it I think. That's the power only deal right? Your trk and authority. There try and load?

    They are tight lined about rated but generally okay buy not great. Beter then a lot of big co's.

    I plan to look into this ifyoufind anything let me know

    i've been doing power plus for about a year and a half and i like it except there is not enough work.
    basically you only get the overflow and and most of it's weekends.
    i usually only do local stuff that pays better as the longer stuff doesn't pay enough for me only 1.00-1.25 a mile but i have done some longer ones if i can get a return load my self that balances the pay between the two.
    i also like the fact that you can use a trailer whenever you need one for yourself (you pay rent)

    Would they allow a small private fleet on this? 3 trks and an owner op. We transport medical scanners and it always bob tails one way

    Trying to cut down on the bob tail

    I know they don't let fleets in on the percentage lease which was my concern.

    Sounds like its just what I need. Esp with being able to use a try whenever

    the power plus is not a lease you are basicly just doing broker loads using their trailer and your authority if you don't have trailer interchange insurance they charge $ 3.00 a day for trailer insurance

    jb hunt has a similar program but it is more restrictive
