Hello, I am not exactly a new driver but I am trying to switch from running a moving company to working by myself. While I love the moving industry, it has been very difficult for me to find people who want to work after Covid. Right now, I have a route with a warehouse that pays well but it can be inconsistent work. I'm looking to work with several warehouses to fill up my week. My problem is, I keep finding companies like Acies, Select, etc. and they wanted a copy of my SSN, Birth Certificate, and I honestly don't feel comfortable giving out these information to businesses that aren't in my state.
I used Indeed.com to find the warehouse I currently work with and they are based in my state. I haven't had much luck since then and I could use your advice. Thanks.
EDIT: I forgot to add that I drive a 16' box truck.

@Ridgeline answered questions on your other threads; maybe can also help on this one.

My other threads?

Oh, well, the other threads are very old and not related to this one but I would appreciate any input.Chinatown Thanks this.

Are you using/looking for a dispatching service? I think you will have better results establishing a relationship with customers & warehouses. A dispatch service is only going to look online, take a fee, and tell you what they found.

Yes but I'm having the hardest time finding a warehouse to work with. I've been looking on Indeed.com, iHireTransportation, ZipRecruiter, and CBDriver without any luck. I've noticed that there is a higher demand for 26' truck... unfortunately, I only have a 16' but getting a 26' is my goal.

Physically go to warehouses & SPEAK with owners or managers. Online is easier but producing no results.
-
I don't mind doing the legwork but my issue is that I don't know which warehouse needs a 16' truck. The demand for a 26' truck is much higher, so it will be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

You either look for the effing needle then, or you quit.
Sounds like you just need to quit.tscottme, OldMainiac and Razororange Thank this.
