    Are there any O/Os that operate 24-26' box trucks for any Of these companies. I'm in NY but I imagine most metro areas would be similar.
    Ceva
    Cory 1 Choice
    Home Delivery America (Bob's discount)
    Excel
    Select Express
    Urban Express (Ikea delivery company)
    Everready Express

    Any info on any of these guys would be much appreciated. I leaning for towards Ceva, Excel and Ever Ready Express since they seem to cater more business deliveries than home/furniture/appliance. The side benefit of the business deliveries is that its more suited to a 1 man operation. The home delivery companies all require a 2 man team. Thanks.

    Yea, I've seen them on CL and a few other spots (Thanks). I was hoping to find someone thats actually doing it or tried it. I spoke to one guy from from Ever Ready Express. I was working at a Sephora after hours and they were delivering the store inventory. They dropped 2 pallets, the employees took the boxes off and he was gone in 15-20 minutes. I rather something along those lines as opposed to lugging a refrigerator 5 flights of stairs.
    Ceva seemingly does much of the same. Curbside business delivery, they delivered glass case for a Petco in Howard Beach.

    Check the normal websites for listings.

    A few good ideas:
    Monter.com
    Craigslist.com
    Indeed.com (I highly recommend this one)
    And you can always just google "driving jobs in -insert your area here-" and refine the search to box trucks.

    And of course, pounding ground with a few copies of a resume, looking spiffy, never hurt anyone.

    55% + FSC- But they're adding any trucks right now. He took my info and said that would probably be changing soon thou. I'm still trying to get a hold of someone at these other companies.

    Thanks for the info. I'm more looking to contract (O/O) with them than work for them.

    I honestly think nothing is better than Craigslist. I found another 2-3 lead that I'm checking on in the morning. I'll post what I find out.

    Thanks everyone.
