"Power Only" O/O's?

I do OK .
I would quit trucking before I went back to hauling freight .

 

I have seen some oversized loads posted that pay well but they're few and far between. Most seem to be 53' van, $200, you load out.

 

Power-Only is what "independent contractors" really are. Not this lease crap under a carrier's authority. I ran the numbers, and if you already own a truck but can't get a trailer it wouldn't be a bad deal. But, you're at their mercy (once you get your authority, be prepared for phone calls from these companies soliciting power-only O/Os).

I ran the numbers, and getting a trailer is much more beneficial than going with them. If you're taking the leap to O/O, might as well go all the way.

 

Just curious what kind of loads you generally haul marmonman? Are you moving new trailers to dealers or doing specialty trailers?

 

I move new and used trailers of any kind other than soda wagons . I have not hauled any freight other than empty trailers since "95". I have delivered to dealers trucking companies and O/O.

 

Trailer Transit ???

Marmon,

Do you find it better to haul the load out trailers, and then find another load to haul using that trailer, or do you stick to the no load out trailers?
