Is It Hard To Get An OTR Job?

MY best friend offered me two options just now and now really need to talk to this Chinatown guy, hopefully he is online soon? Basically we have four trucks that are not being put to work... I need someone to help me in this process of me choosing various options and routes, but nevertheless I have a job he explained to me POINT BLANK day one! Either with his construction company or with these four trucks I need to find out more details about these four trucks lol.... This looks like a great move. See I have a Produce company that I am looking to understand more about the industry and also operate while I drive and build my business. other then getting the product, the next major aspect to the business is the trucking of the product(s) throughout the U.S. and hence my desire to take a two pronged approach to my produce business.... Thinking allot lol, I am a Harvard dropout , check out my website www.ameramexproduce.com

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I Am getting a wealth of info here! Your reply was amazing and I greatly appreciate you and everybody replying!

 

Chinatown,

I didn't notice it was you replying until after I replied to your response. Forgive me, this is all a new World to me and I find it fascinating to be very honest! I have traveled to Beijing and was born a Dragon (1976). The Forbidden City is fascinating and to say the very least should be considered one of The Great Wonders Of The World as should The Great Wall Of China! Uniting China was a Accomplishment under I forgot which Emperor was nothing short of a Miracle and I will say in closing before I move on that I am fascinated by your people....

As for the trucking, how does it work if you have your own truck. If we don't close on these major contracts for importing produce from Mexico, then my next option is two haul product as previously discussed too and from California which is a thriving consistent market! Lettuce is always in demand and I know for fact that drivers are always in demand, does it help if I have trucks accessible to me? Does it make me more valuable is what I am getting at? I will learn more about these trucks in the next day or so, but just want to understand what can or cant be done if I have 4 trucks with the trucks so that they are put to good use. It is a proposition that has been brought to my attention for me to handle and everyone that is offering this proposition knows that I am very capable in doing this type of leg work to see what the reality(S) are...

 

As for your response I couldn't agree with you more in every area of business lol.... The farmers we are working with in Mexico are Top Notch and we would be under major contractual agreements.. They are multi million and in one case billion dollar farming operations that we would be working with in certain crops to limit the horror story's! This would be ideal that everything works out perfectly... But that is utopia and they always say, "the devil is in the details..." lol! Believe me, we are not rushing this matter and taking slow careful steps before moving forward, but will point out that the Mexican counterparts we know very well and are not concerned with their interests to cheat, rather our concern to get exclusives to their farming distribution(s) into the U.S. that is my concern!

Again, the types of loads we would be hauling would not be your "Septic Tank" type loads.... They would be very specific and the profitability in these crops coming in coupled with this prospect of the trucking changes the landscape not only economically, but also from a more strategic "controlled environment - operations" prospective! IT is in our best interest if we proceed, to not allow a major moving piece to be left a volatile variable in the overall equation...

 

So what does going about this right look like assuming that these 4 trucks are accessible to me... I don't have drivers for them though, this I would like to point out before proceeding...
