Hello, as the tittle says I am looking for information about regional freight in my area, and down to probably California. This is pretty broad I’m looking to buy my own truck but I want to stay primarily in this area. Any advice? Thanks!

Just out of curiosity I called Coyote yesterday on a load from Wenatchee to Fresno to see what they were offering. It was a produce load requiring a reefer running at 36 degrees, and the rate worked out to .84 cents per mile. If you figure that fuel alone costs around .50 cents per mile, then add the .20 cpm road tax in Oregon, that rate wouldn't barely cover those costs alone.
If you have a decent company job and live up there, I would stick it out and forget about getting your own truck at least for now. The DAT load board has 32 trucks available in just Portland for Monday and practically no loads. -

How much experience you got? If you looking to do flat/step deck or Conestoga I work for guy out of Spokane. I haul nationwide but you can get CA loads and back to WA no problem. It Is slow right now. I was getting better paying freight in the winter. Where you out of?
