No, really not that much new.
Good loads seem like they're getting harder and harder to find. I'm busy working on switching carriers. I've ruled out ones that use both company drivers and Independent Contractors(ICs), and focused on IC only carriers. So far, I have two I need to call and ask the following make or break questions.
Whew. Almost forgot that third one. Yeah, we need to get on it by next month. I should even start filling out my application to Landstar.
I hate to say it, but Schneider is acting like just another corporation more and more that doesn't really give a crap about IC's, just about how much money they can suck out of those leases. Thank heavens we had more sense than to sign up for those. Rates are low. Payments are high. Nice to know what you REALLY think of us. And you wonder why we're jumping ship.
- Can we run as a team AND for those times when the mate wants to stay home, solo?
- Will they take a 2003 truck? Or does it have to be "X number of years or newer"?
- Is it forced dispatch?
