    To make the most money on choice you have run in ways you hated to do as a company driver.
    Many people come here thinking they'll do what they want to and what's fun... that's a straight road to the poor house!

    That's not true. I came to choice because I hated how they ran me as a company driver thank you very much. It's not always about money. Not in the poor house either.

    Did you miss the part about "to make the most money"?

    It's cool to find a balance, thats why I personally avoid New England. Screw that hellhole black hole.

    I'm learning that real quick. I got sucked into the NE and made a couple nice runs, but oh man did I come out for cheap. Would of ran a few more but had to get home. Prob wasn't worth it.

    Hate to come across like a #### Friday it's not my intent but here's the deal. There is a waiting list from green bay to Charlotte for guys waiting to get on choice. Take the time to get those shiny black boots they gave you in orientation scuffed up before you jump. In the meantime focus on keeping your logs spotless. Goal even if your in a three acre lot and nothing else is around. They are in the position to cherry pick drivers. You need to sell yourself in this environment. Not the other way around. If it's really what you came to SNI for give it time man.
     
    Friday Thanks this.
