last i heard were not taking o/o's ne more last of them quit and started doing his own thing a few months ago... as for brokers u can try j.d. ramond out of bangor though theyre pretty slow right now but they have trailer's u can lease not sure what the cut is though....thompson enterprises is another broker but i think theyre pretty much dedicated to kb and u also have danny devido of pradera....he's probally ur best bet he basically runs the trash market out of mass going to maine.
i know one o/o that runs exclusive for danny and the o/o is out of saco me he does a lot of runs from fitchburg ma up to perk in orrington me...where u out of? -
wow.. If you are in GA, there is a co. looking for live floor truckers. It is mulch and they deliver regional. Not sure on pay or any other info.

If he was in Alaska he could use a live floor to haul snow. What kind of help was your post supposed to be other than to give your fingers exercise?dannythetrucker Thanks this.

Call the scotts company. They run alot of O/O"s with walking floors hauling leaves and such to there plants. Medway, Me and Lebanon, CT. Go talk to some local sawmills or logging outfits, they might need someone to haul chips to the power plants or mulch. Old Castle out of Auburn, ME. Bulk mulch but mostly spring/summer. Can also try Green Mountain Mulch out of Derby, VT. Just me but i would stay away from trash.

i haul trash and demo and it is rough on the trucks mulch out of old castle is poland me and MB bark out of auburn are dent loads but theyre seasonal and really only a back haul back down to mass. thats where the money is at u can also look in to light iron out of some of the scrap yards goin down to everett but its extremely hard on the trailers also u have new england organics out of unity me theyre loads pay decent but again seasonal i believe

Fisher Guy who do u get your loads from if you dont mind me asking.How many loads do you do a week?
-
i work for kb corp as a company driver all our loads are through thompson or pradera or directly from schnitzer at the scap yards... i average anywhere from 12-15 loads week in slow season and 15-20 loads a week in busy mulch season. its pretty known around here the company wants 2 a day min on the ground but if u hustle and have the loads u can get 3-5 on the ground with a preload a day depending on the distance

I think that Barrup uses his own trucks for the loads out of Derby but I would try that also.
