Why shouldn't a smart o/o, who has looked at the industry, make money? If I spec a truck and trailer, to do certain things why shouldn't I get paid for what they can do? So what if I can't haul the over abundance of the 40k plus loads out there, freight pays, not weight!
If I can put 11' high freight on my trailer, good for me. Had one customer, they had two loads 16'x11' cylinders. Posted as needind two double drops, I called the agent, told her I could both on my trailer. She asked how much I wanted, told her 76% of the total on both loads. Customer agreed, one truck, one set of permits, one delivery time for the crane.
I had my trailer built with container locks for 2 twenty footers, 1 fourty, or a heavy twenty. I can load a container faster and easier than a plain old step deck who most likely has a 38' lower deck.
I'm on my sixth tractor, it's a class 7. Each one is better spec'd than the one before it. This one has a 120" sleeper, if your gonna truck, do it with the comforts of home behind you. The increased lenght caused me to have to add a tag axle, to save on the tickets for being over on the drive axle. But it also means if a 38-40k load post up and there is nothing else around I can scale it. I don't register for it, but who looks at your gross, before they look at our axle weights. -
