    I'm contemplating getting Txdot Authority but before doing so would like some insight rates and lanes. I live in San Antonio. DM me with info. Thanks.

    I'm from Houston and I ran the Dallas to Austin to San Antonio to Houston and Dallas triangle for a while and thought it sucked. The rates we're OK but I found it hard to get the daily revenue that I was interested in because the runs aren't long enough and they were time consuming so it's hard to line up 2 in a day.

    I run interstate now and it's much better.

    I changed my mind an went ahead and got Interstate Authority. Still waiting for IFTA to be set up, but have been doing Power Only loads in Texas since the 10th of this month and have done well so far. Once IFTA is completed I'll be able to do longer runs.

    IFTA took about a month to get.

    My revenue is WAY better since I have IFTA.

    I was going to initially do power only but it didn't look so great to me so I bought a trailer..

    Who do you do power only with and do well?

    Is do well 5K per week?

    Thanks

    Mostly Amazon. I've only moved two broker loads.

    It must have really changed, it took me longer to write the check than get set up

    It was because of COVID. It has to all be done by mail only.
