Power only companies?

Yes I’m going to call the places again in the morning. We are on one waiting list but I think that is 8 months or something crazy. But I will for sure touch base with you at the end of July.

 

Since my posts we have bought a flatbed trailer. We actually spent way more money on the flatbed then we should of but I’m not getting into that but my point being my husband and I are still running power only loads. We’ve did one flatbed load since having the trailer that was only to get to Texas for the holidays and mother in law rode with us. Keep in mind we are running power only dry van loads, last week we went to California and back and we net 12,500. This week we have done a Texas load and now getting ready to do another California ( as much as I dislike California) and we are going to net 16,700. So ya we should of bought a trailer back when people were saying new ones are 38,000 but at the time we didn’t have the money for a trailer. Now with trailer prices skyrocketed we are going to have to pull the flatbed or continue doing power only until we find a trailer that’s not 90,000 and I’m confident we will eventually find one we can afford. We have several people looking out for us.
In your situation seamutt I’ve seen people order these new trucks and turn right around and sell the new truck for way more than you paid for it and have a nest egg but in your case I’m thinking that is your only truck so I’d buckle down with it get on the power only train for the time being and I’m telling you you will kill it. Like many truckers on this board talk if you cannot make it during these times we’re doing something wrong because the is a gillazon dollars to be made out here. I know when we first made our move from under our companies wings we were like holy #### it’s a little tricker then we were thinking but you just have to be creative about where you dispatch yourself and the first couple of weeks may be rocky but you will find your rhythm.

 

We don’t do Facebook. Someone not long ago mentioned Craigslist. We will look into when we get closer to buying one again. Actually when the weather warms up a bit I’m sure my husband will get busy with the flatbed. It’s recently been so cold and the last couple weeks we’ve both had the snotty nose and cough. But thank you for the suggestions. Are the prices reasonable?
