Well then SamTheMan you are one of far and few between that freight comes knocking on your door , but there are new carriers and drivers everyday that need the help they can get , it was just an opinion that maybe independent dispatching services could be on the side of the trucker and be an ally in their corner , unlike most shippers and brokers that only care about the bottom line . I wish you continued success . Thanks for the opinion .. Have a great Day !

Where and how do you get loads?

Sam is spot on. Any operator unwilling to take on the tasks of building relationships making their own way, depending on someone else for a rate, that is someone not up to the task. Driving is such a small part of the business it's like the bonus you look forward to. If a person just wants to drive and leave the business to others that's no way to learn or grow a business and there are company jobs that will remove a lot of headaches for someone who just wants to drive.

The biggest problem is the dispatch service doesn't have nearly the over head that we do so they will book anything and hope you take it. I have tried a dispatch service and found they either get too busy for you or they get lazy! Right now I just want to find someone who knows how to use a fax machine and email to deal with rate confirmations without spending a bundle...cheapest I found was like 200 bucks a week for less than 5 hours of work.

AMEN!!! Usually a husband and wife will do well together...This is still too much for one person. This is the difference between a lease operator and an owner operator.
