“Dino soar,
I will tell you one thing though. I'm really happy with my own authority because I don't have anyone telling me this is where you're going and this is what it pays.”
How do you find loads? Do you have relationships with various companies/individuals that need freight moved or do you use load boards? What is the process for an o/o with their own authority for finding work?
Two types of owner-ops

Now you can also try to secure some direct Freight if you'd like to but for someone like me I really like the flexibility of not having a customer that has to have this load go out at this time every so many days or whatever it is.
You call the broker and you negotiate and you take your load.Shanebklyn and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
I'm leased and use loadboards. Been doing that for 10 years. Everyone says it's an awful way to do it. Still hanging in there somehow. To be honest if I get my own authority I see loadboards as my sole and only source of freight. Been working for me...

Things aren’t as cut and dry as you try and make them. For example, I own my truck and trailer, technically I’m leased to carrier (I pay my friend a small fee to use his authority), and I run dedicated for a brokerage/logistics company.rollin coal and expedite_it Thank this. -
God. Everyone is making this so complicated.
