    we been approved for our own authority, will be buying a reefer trailer, will we make more money? if so, how much?

    we usually haul temperature controlled pharmaceuticals loads. for example one of our loads picked up in hillsboro, OR to Sacramento paid $5.14/mile before diesel and it was one skid of a cancer drug that had to kept cold. and I know our carrier made a ungodly amount if they paid us that.

    In two years you should have a million dollars in the bank. That is if you have two million in the bank now!!

    Depends on your contracts... IDk how having more equipment equals more money.
    At one point I had an old but delightful 97 year old Volvo with a 91 reefer trailer, and I was neting more part-time than most full time drivers.
