Is it tuff to get loads after 4 pm or on weekends?

Your desk job would have to be logged as on duty and that doesn’t leave you much time for driving your box truck.

 

Authority won't go active without insurance. You're prepared to pay thousands of dollars for no reason?

Like I said before, don't get hung up on being new. Almost no broker cares.

 

If you breakdown on Sunday few hours away from home, how are you gonna fix your truck, deliver the load and come back for your job at 8am on Monday?

I know a couple of people with sprinter vans or
Minivans hauling expedited freight .

They seem to be doing well. I have no idea what load boards or brokers they use though .

They either have their own customers or they use Sylectus. Sylectus is hard to get on and expensive too, and when I was doing it it was the only game in town.

OP, if you want to try making extra money with a box truck I'd learn the ropes working for someone in Expedite. Expedite/hot shot are synonymous terms in this game, doesn't mean it's a pick up with a goose neck. Could be a van, straight truck, pick up with/without trailer, anything that will move stuff.

What you are going to find (and basically what you've already been told here) is that trucking is mostly an all or nuthin' enterprise. Once you dive in you've got costs you can't cover without doing it all the time.

I don't see this going well unless you
A. do it full time from the start or
B. drive for someone else.

The second option could show you how much of it sucks and you may decide to do something else.
