    jmtruck, I think Venture has a terminal in Laurel and one in Theodore, AL. Work is slow everywhere now, but you might want to check them out.

    A 40' trailer is a good size . O/O's doing LTL often use 48's . You should find a good customer base and buy your equipment to suit your customers . Some hotshotters get by with 32' trailers .
