I would prefer a type of dedicated account. Or atleast not going to a different customer for the first time every single day. Willing to learn other freight types if the money use there and they train

In this market it's best to stay put, but as for DFW and Texas in general, Tankers are king..You can also do well in LTL but prime schedules come with seniority. You're not going to come out of the gate calling the shots with either choice..
DAX_ and kemosabi49 Thank this. -
Poly Trucking used to pay well. I would assume they still do. They're on the west side (Grand Prairie) and they're private. They haul their own plastics products out and usually grab broker load backhauls back to the DFW area, sometimes back to Houston area or even western Louisiana and then shoot over to Mont Belvieu (another one of their plants) for a transfer load back up to DFW. The nice thing is they pay hub miles, stop pay, fuel where you want (for the most part) and you route yourself (for the most part). The down side is their trucks are not the best maintained. They look great (they get washed every two weeks), but their shop is led by Curly, Moe and Larry, or least it used to be.
DAX_ and Speed_Drums Thank this. -

Keep in mind if it does burn make sure have a good excuse we had one driver have that happen and didn't realize till after then fire department truck not the police saw him and stopped him he then began to release the water thinking would put it out unknown to him there were chemicals that were very very flammable. Thankfully, only a few thousand acres of brushland got burned.DAX_ Thanks this. -
