    Thanks. What is a dedicated account if you don’t mind me asking? New to all this.

    You pull exclusively for one customer. Each account will be different. But the majority of them have one thing in common, instead of running nilly willy all over the country it will be load out and then grab a load back to that customer.

    again, depends on the account and the carrier.

    I think there is some confusion here. I do not work for tmc. I was just letting you know that they have jobs in your area.

    Depends on the customer and kind of freight they have. Some customers might have freight going all over and some might only be 1000 mile radius. If the customer is in the same area as you live you can have a good quality of life because you are heading back there each trip. You might bounce around a little for reloads but it would be nice to know roughly where you are loading out of. Personally that's what l would look for in a job.
