yes you can just lease on and haul poles... there is no reason why you couldnt. I did it for 6 months but got tired of setting waiting for loads

 

How much those pole loads pay and I guess its hard finding a good paying backhaul?

 

pole loads around 1.80 a mile sometimes a little more and backhauls around 1.40.... they will tell you that they pay more but remember you only get a percentage of what they quote you

 

Unless you know some secret way around it. You can not just lease on and start pulling poles or any oversize for that fact.

 

I did... why do you think you can't?

 

Not in the last year and a half since the new rules were started.

 

What new rules? I leased on and started hauling poles first
