Stuck in texas

Well Ma'am who are you leased to if I may ask, and I think Tx. Is big enough to get loads out of QUICK!.. I might be wrong, but sounds to me they need a salesperson...Good luck to you Ma'am

 

If you have,or can get a tanker/haz-mat endorsement,Houston/LaPorte area has several trucking companies that get in and out of the area on a regular basis.Many chemical plants and refineries in that area.Also,haz-mat/tankers pay a little better.

 

Texas has a lot of freight. Unfortunately they have more inbound than out.So it's a lot of cheap freight

 

It's sounds very strange,
I mean if you're very flexible, want to go pretty much anywhere. You shouldn't have any trouble to find a load.
Before I wrote this, I looked at major load boards and every one of them has some loads.
Of course it'll take some skills to negotiate right price, but other than that I think the problem might be a little more deeper than just finding a load.
Maybe your trucking company or authority holder has a bad reputation, ( late on appointments, canceled loads, or a safety scores are bad enough for brokers to avoid such a carrier.

 

We haul strictly in Texas and have zero trouble findingmloads

 

Everybody's numbers are different just because the loaf works for one truck doesn't mean it will be a profitable load for the other.

 

That's a fact, what are you needing to be profitable or feel good about the load?

 

Better lease to a major carrier and be done with it. Mercer or Landstar comes to mind. You live in a dead area as well as most of us do. So when you go home make sure the rate pays for you to DH out 300-500 miles. I don't pay attention to freight going into Texas on our board but I'm sure you'll do fine. My buddy pulls a Van for Landstar and the 3 times he's been to Texas he always got over 2.50 per mile (gross) leaving and only sat for a day so since you live there it shouldn't be much of a issue
