Times are generally really good right now as the rates have gone up significantly at many locations. I have been leased to Hansen and Adkins for 6.5 years and very likely will stay here many more years. I do recommend you call all of the terminals that deliver regularly in to your home area. Your potential revenue can vary from one shipper/terminal to another and you may as well haul the best paying freight available. Loading towards a return load or sometimes running a triangle to keep empty miles down will make a huge difference. Loading to the furthest point and rattling back won’t normally produce the most profitable business with most of our freight.
Potential load factor/revenue for your specific rig can make a huge difference. The terminals with large freight don’t always benefit every rig and those with small units don’t always benefit a truck that can only haul 9 units.
Ask each terminal what their high revenue trucks are generating on how many hours/miles worked and how often you could expect to get home. The fuel surcharge for that specific freight is an important number to accurately make your decision. I won’t give specifics on a public forum, but some of the freight that formerly wasn’t great is awesome now with a huge fuel surcharge on top of a competitive rate. Anyone that tells you that an owner op can’t make really good money at Hansen and Adkins hasn’t done his research to figure out what freight to haul to get the really good money.Last edited: May 28, 2022

Don't forget Carvana. They seem to be hiring drivers everywhere and I think most are home daily.
