    You can power JB Hunt loads. Or you could power metal scrap trailers to the big scrap yard or municipal waste trailers between the transfer station and the landfill.

    Or you can search PO loads on the load boards. The thing with PO on the load boards is it's just so #### cheap and chances of getting another PO out of where you drop do not seem very good.

    The only PO I'll do is moving UPS trailers (empty) from drop yards to rail yards. There are two brokers who do a #### ton of these UPS PO loads. The first is Coyote. The other is Mercer.

    Pretty sure Coyote is choking Mercer out of the UPS moves.... but you never know.

    Call Mercer and ask if they have any UPS PO moves in your area.

    Good luck.

    Rent a wagon for ~350 a month. Try it out on your own 1st before you go pull a jb wagon. If your in a good area you can do well over what jb has to offer. Pulled 2 swift loads today for 1216 on 348.

    Ok, I don't run that far. The rate doesn't surprise me. And I am sure they are 45k parachute loads... just need to hang on the best you can until you find something.
     
    Phantom307 Thanks this.

    Brokers ring me nonstop on power only loads for a local grocery warehouse where I live. They usually say $600-900 a day but usually it’s overnight and could be 500 miles. I haven’t done one yet but they are almost every day.
     
    Phantom307 Thanks this.

    HEB in San Antonio. There’s at least 5 companies running their trailers, they can’t keep up.
