    Congratulations on your purchase,

    Now don't go ruining things by calling a freight broker

    My first instinct is to recommend Landstar. They seem to have about the highest praise of most OO's on here.

    Agree. Considering he owns the trailer he can get 72% of line haul -

    Or...He can do it 'right' and get 100% of the Linehaul

    Why leave money on the table leasing? Heck he just spent $100,000, Those Carrier/brokers like Landstar are just licking their chops waiting for him with open arms
