    Hey KO. The board has gotten better. I was thinking about leaving but I talked to one of the op’s managers and he has given me some reassurance and I’m noticing improvement on the board.

    Wow. First. Good that you’re still getting it.
    But I saw this coming mid last year. That’s why I got out. I started seeing Sch closing certain drop yards that the storm was coming.
    Freight- that’s was foreseeable when a company has contracted selected load board freight.
    Anyways, hope everything works out for you. Safe travels.
    P.S. it’s a matter of time before SFI puts a freeze on new hires. If not already.

    What up KO? You sure right about the power only carriers pulling Schneider freight. I got on truck smarter and saw Schneider brokered loads for $2.50 to $4.50 per mile. Blows my mind why it’s not on the IC board. Stay safe bro, go get that money.

    Just went through orientation a few weeks ago. The instructor mentioned he heard a rumor that the changes might be spot market loads available on the load board. So Schneider negotiates with people on other load boards and then they make it available on our load board.

    @mikeb4168 Před 2 měsíci

    If all you're looking at is what the load pays your doomed to fail you got the calculate how many miles how much fuel and how much tolls and taking the consideration of time of pickup and delivery window for example 1200 load takes one day to deliver it's a home run but if it 4 day window only $300 a day there's a lot of factor in when choosing a load man the weight ,the mountains, MPG even before that you got to make sure you can get a reload, also ditch that phone and use a chromebook, or laptop,

    • @LifeOfKO
      @LifeOfKO  Před 2 měsíci

      Appreciate the info but I’m not new to trucking boss. I know how to book loads. I never used a laptop to book loads. That’s a waste of time and I have a laptop on the truck. A lot easier to do on a phone.

      I have been with the Ic program 4.5 years, try to run midwest short and good to average long haul. Keep an eye on your operation cost and your average rate per mile a the end of the week. Also learn the patterns on the load board, for example right now loads are being release morning 8 -12 and afternoon around 5-6, . Good luck
