You might want to look at Schneider IC. Look, I know she ain't the prettiest in the fleet, and you'll never make a million dollars, but they run a crap load of contract freight that will keep you in business.
Estimate $4500 -$6000 gross on a 7 day week. Pretty easy to get along with as well.

If'n you want to return to Indiana, our o/o pick their own. Doing automotive. It is bit slumped now like everything else. Short runs mostly. PM me if you want to ask ?s

No I’m under their authority. I do have a little bit of money saved and I probably could get my own authority but based on the numbers I’m saying I’m really not all that enthusiastic about jumping in now. I guess I would want to try to line up the freight as best I could first. That’s why I was wondering if anybody knew how to do that. I’ve called half a dozen brokers that I’ve hold for in the past for this company but they don’t have anything that’s paying more than $1.50 a mile.

I certainly will. And thank you.

Schneider as in the great pumpkin? Yeah I definitely will check them out thank you.Opus Thanks this.

Sorry I replied to this through my email but it looks like it’s going to the wrong spot. No I’m running under their authority. I do have money saved and I probably could get my own authority but based upon these numbers I’m very hesitant to do that now. I would like to try to establish a connection with some good pay freight first.Diesel Dave Thanks this.

Someone give him some good paying contacts.

Thank you

You need your authority numbers before you go looking for direct contacts. Right now it’s a cut throat Business cause everyone is trying to find good freight. I myself have my own authority and it’s been slow, I usually haul for a carrier that has contracts with the infrastructure industry and it’s been a bad year. The rains out here in SoCali has push everything. I’m still hauling but not much.Vampire Thanks this.

OK yeah much appreciate it. I guess in my mind I was thinking if I get my numbers then that’s a full-blown commitment but really it’s just a few hundred dollars to get the numbers and that doesn’t mean I necessarily have to do anything beyond that. And I drive a lot of California so I know what you mean about the rain. Was getting a lot of good paying hazmat out of Compton and the LA area and almost all of that has really dried up. No pun intended. Thank you
