    20 plus years rolling. If needed I can pick my hazmat and taker back up. And I’ve had 3 trucks myself.
    I know freight is pretty much garbage as usual this time of year. Sold my last truck back in 2016. Currently pulling FedEx doubles with my wife of 25 years for the last 3 1/2 years. But May end needing to go back to o/o for a few years. But we’d be teaming it. Running out of the Nashville area I’m looking for suggestions. I know the hustle but have been out of the o/o side for a while. My general thinking is rolling refer. Just looking for some HONEST suggestions and heads up. And please Try to refrain from blowing smoke up anywhere.
    Thanks

    Since you are already running team, you are aware that running team wears out a truck fast. So you definitely are going to want some newer with low miles. This is your first hurdle.

    Definitely. And I know how those prices have EXPLODED. Lol I just got through selling 3 Volvo 860’s for the contractor I run for with Cummins engine and 13 speeds that had between 800k-900k miles for $50k+ each. They ordered new versions of the same exact trucks that were in $180k range 3 years ago are now $220k+.

    Go big....or go home:

    Baggett Transportation -- DoD cargo loads

    To qualify: Google "form SF-86"...and then read up on it. NOOOT easy! :(

    Great opportunity, for experienced teams.

    No smoke--just $$$$$$$....:Transportation cost
