Swift O/O Load Board

I tried on that one to Miami, and could not adjust the times, and it was good that I did not take it. By the time that I was mt, I had 1 hour left on my 14. The rates on the short ones with lots of time, only been about .12-/15 mile more. Almost took one the other day and waited and shortly after Swift came up with a 1600 mile load with 9k and not a lot of time. It was even out of the NW, Hermiston. I have been dealing mostly with Joe. The one thing that I hate, will call you back in 2 hours, and nothing. Again, so far, bad area for fr8, and of course this weekend, double whammy, home time and holiday.

Know what I like, book the load, know that it is FCFS with the times, and then CSR sends it to the truck as appt.

 

Its been over a year since the last post in thus thread. Anything new? How is it working out? My son is an O/O with swift and I'm looking at Schneider's Choice program. He said Swift offered something similar so I guess this is it. Has the freight and/or process evolved enough to make it viable?

 

My guess is most companies with O/O resources like Schneider and Swift will opt for do-it-yourself programs. They can minimize the number of humans making contact with drivers and still derive profit from each load.

 

Any update on this guys? Looking to make a choice between swift and schneider as an o/o. Thanks.

 

Schneider!

100 days (and counting) left on my lease with Swift.

 

You'll be switching over you mean? What complaints have you had at swift? I just turned in a lease at Missouri's biggest company and purchased my own truck and am looking at these two. Any input is appreciated, thanks!

 

No, I saying if those are your 2 choices go with Schneider.

If you own you truck why aren't you considering Landstar?

 

Is this the command load program?

My trainer worked this pretty well, with it and his DM.. . We got my 200 done in 27 days.

I didn't notice much negotiations ...

Just simple phone calls "what you got?"
And "can you back me out??"
