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

thats crazy some company dont charge you for nothing. dang there is a lot to this thing.

 

Annual milage, at least on my lease, is 150k

 

I was in a lease 5 yrs ago, .09 per mile on maint/refunded what was not used, but they took out for tire ware, and any other thing to get it back like it was. If it had scratches, dings, interior dirty, whatever, they charged gor that. They also charged somewhere arnd .03-.05 per mile depreciation on trk, which was not refundable and addition to their trk pymt. Looks like to me sni has as fair a lease as anyone, and much better than a lot. The difference being if someone wants to work and knows what they are doing, or even willing to listen to others on here and then learn, you can make much more money with sfi. I hav applied with them already, Im still in the decision part of their trk or buying one, thinking about going the same route dfo went, 1 yr lease, and if I like it, buy a older used truck. Again, thx for all the help you give on here.

 

JN1427 so do you think sfi is better than SNI? the thing i like about sni is the choice board.where i pick my own load and dont have anyone giving me loads i think its kinda better idk.

 

well, me being a new guy on here and my first on these forums, I guess I need to learn all the lingo stuff. When I say sfi, its the same as sni, guess I should clairify it. The choice is better if you know what you are doing, or will learn from the guys on here. Percentage usually always pays better than per mile. And, on choice you pick the loads, where u go, and your pay. If you are on per mile, they dispatch you and are in control. I hav looked at Darts lease real hard, but just as with everyone else, they can promise you all kinds of miles, but that does not mean they will. When you run on per mile deals, and hav the big truck pymts, and all of a sudden ther start giving you 1500 miles or so, which it does happen, then you are pretty much working for free. Just my opinion, and my experience from per mile leases.

 

oh k lol.. i thought it was a different . company i had appl with them they say i need some money in the bank. but i think its because im not working for them.

 

lol im new on here 2. i learn sni last night lol.. but im getting use to the page tho. and i been looking a youtube and on here to see what ppl saying about L/o but in the end its the way you work. plus sni have a good deal with the choice board. you pick ur own loads. and not been dispatch.

 

OK, before I get blasted on the per mile deal, im sure there are some that make good money on per mile, but they are the exception. Kinda like people talking about 70-80% of people failing at leases, which I don't know the actual #, but a lot get into it without knowing what they are doing, and what to expect. But at the same time people talk about how many lease failures there is, they seem to forget how many people come into trucking as company drivers and fail.
