Self dispatch

I think landstar is 72 if you own your own trailer and 67 if you lease one of theirs .
Farm2Fleet I believe is at 80% if you have your own trailer .

 

Landstar and Schneider is both 65%
Landstar is 72% if you bring you own trailer

Schneider pays most all tolls, Landstar you pay
Schneider has endless drop and hook freight where as Landstar doesn't
Schneider has terminals and drop lots everywhere where as Landstar doesn't
Schneider's has a set rate.. you point and click and the load is yous.. where as Landstar you're dealing with brokers and having to call on loads and etc BUT that opens up the door to negotiation if you want.
As far as rates go.. from what I've seen/heard from a friend of mine working there Landstar has slightly better rates on longer hauls and finding freight in the middle of nowhere. Schneider has been paying freight on shorter hauls, especially plus being it's open window drop and hook freight makes it all the better.

All I know is I LOOOVE open window appointments that are drop and hook

 

sums it up lol

 

So how long would it take for a rookie driver signing on with Schneider to make his way over to the choice board?

 

You really would like to have a year anyways before jumping into a lease, it's a huge financial responsibility beside that make sure that driving a truck and living in a truck is something your good with, in your first year you will learn alot

 

I would not really want to lease a brand new truck anyway. A used truck would be more my speed.

 

the speed of a lot more breakdowns and huge repair bills not covered under warranty

 

Yep. Gotta look at every angle, when I first looked at SNI they told me about a 2012 cascadia, 636.00 a week, PLUS 200.00 dollar maintence which would bring your total up to around 800.00, the difference in pricing for a used VS new isn't great, but atleast with new like freightwhipper said its covered under warrenty for the whole term of the lease.

 

Geez what do they want for a new truck? I thought it would be half of that.
