THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

talking to drivers at the truck stops..I found a few l/o who are on mileage pay and are not happy...haven't found anyone on percentage pay that doesn't love it

 

Happens a lot.

 

I heard currently at Pilot and J the fuel discount is 22.5 off the cash price so actually about 27.5 off pump .

A choice driver chime in .. I'm just a soon to be choice driver in a week

 

That's a huge discount if that's the case..i was approved today..need to give a few weeks notice at current company..don't want to burn any bridges

 

Yeah, same here. Almost all of my live loads are under 2 hours, with the exception of a couple specific customers, which I know about in advance. And if they have a drop lot, I'll always say "Hey, if you guys don't want to unload it right now, I can drop it for you if it's more convenient." Surprisingly, they'll take me up on the offer about 30% of the time.

 

The Transflo Mobile app is an official app and is safe. This is the app they were talking about today:

yep, 22.5 this week.....usually they do it in 2 week blocks......so, might change for the better or worse next week (btw, 22.5 is the best I've ever seen.....the worst was like .08 or .05)

as to your other question about drop and hooks turning into live loads.......it's almost always the other way around.....that's why I said, the 1 or 2 times it's turned into a live load, I really didn't feel like I could say too much

 

It's official for me too. Going with the choice plan and the T680. Need to give plenty of notice also. Planning on Green Bay first week in July.

 

Normally I'm incredibly tolerant of changing conditions, and I try to build extra time into my load plans to account for that. I'm sure that the clerk's attitude at this customer didn't help matters, and she really set me off when she said that I had lost my chance at a door while I was "#### chatting" with the company. I felt like saying "B****, I don't work for you, I work for Schneider, and what they have to say is way more important than some clerk on a power trip." LOL

 

good luck.....holler if you need help.
the sports bar across the street from the hotel is pretty good (and they have decent food too!!)
