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

If you can't install one in the dash you can have a gauge put on your back air bag by the rear driver tire it will do the same thing just not dash mounted . Just if you can't modify

the difference will be with the air bag install you will just have to go back and look is all

 

All trucks should come with a air guage comes in handy especially with heavier loads or when sitting in truck getting unloaded as youll know when your almost unloaded

 

FWIW- Unless you are a very long tenured O/O with sterling credit and a strong, established relationship with a local lending institution, your rate on a used truck or trailer will be in the mid-to-high teens. I've bought two used trucks in the past 2 years, shopped extensively for the loans and couldn't find anything better. IMO, if you manage your business well, you should be able to make it with those rates. An acquaintance of mine with horrible credit is paying almost 30% and making it work.

Interesting thread- keep it rolling.

 

According to information posted sni requires 3 months of driving experience before they consider you for any o/o I/c etc....I have not seen nor heard any evidence of a year or even 6 months being required.
Its not rocket science all it is, is being able to have the self discipline and intellectual ability to manage your time efficiently...

 

6 months otr with Schneider or 12 months with another company if you want to sign up to schneider finance.

 

This is what I've been told also. And that's to even be considered.

 

Schneider choice and schneider finance is different. If you want to lease, first you gotta get approved from schneider finance which is 6mo./12yrs not sure the requirement if your bringing your own truck but jarhead/dfo could answer that

 

I don't either, at least not terribly often. It does come up sometimes though. But on the load wpthat my customer screwed up, they loaded it to the nose of the trailer, but the bills stated that it was only 33,000 lbs, which if it actually had been, it would've been fine. But when I scaled in West Memphis, my gross was 79,300, which means that the load had to have been AT LEAST 44,000 lbs. that gauge would've come in very handy in that case.

 

You just need to instal a tee between two bags and run a hose to inside the drivers side jockey box. One 1/4 or 3/8 hole in the floor of the compartment should go un noticed. There may even be a rubber plug or a hole from some accessory that you can share.

Use a flat mount gauge

 

That's the secret to success right there.
You're like a stripper, when they're throwing money at you, keep your butt on stage.
